Acacia Ridge Pet Resort

Boarded our border collie here at the Acacia Ridge Pet Resort when we needed to go on our very overdue holiday! First time ever needing to use kennels. I went to a few kennels around Brisbane to get prices and have a look at each facility. Some places you had to make an appointment to go for a ‘tour’ and there was also a place that did not even let me go through, showing me lamintaed pictures instead. I was not interested in that kennel!
The Acacia Ridge Pet Resort has certain times in the day where you can drop by without appointment and have a look through. Staff were very friendly and answered every little question I had and reassured me that my boy would be well cared for. When he boarded, they took photo’s of him and posted them on facebook for me to see :)
I was able to email them on my holiday to check up on Buck’s status and health. Cost wise, they average with the others being $ 25/​day for a large dog. But they also had Luxury Suites for dogs which are $ 50/​day for any size. Though Buck is one spoilt dog, I chose the Standard Kennels as I thought he’d enjoy all the company of the other dogs around.
When we came back from our holiday, we came straight from the airport and collected him! He smelt wonderful and was very clean although he was a little damp from his bath (he usually takes forever to dry). He looked happy and healthy and gave a lot of attention to the staff which made me feel like he loved them and they had been treating him well.
Overall, we will difinitely use these guys again when we need to! And Buck seemed to have had a wonderful holiday too!
Great job guys! I recommend you to anyone looking for pet boarding :)

Our dog Poppy spent a couple of weeks at Acacia Ridge Pet Resort and loved it. She’s stayed there twice and we’ve been impressed by the set-​up and service on both occasions. Happy to recommend Acacia Ridge to anyone needing pet boarding kennels near Brisbane.

I have come here to check out the kennels for my little dog as we were planning a holiday and needed a place for him to stay at. Acacia Ridge Pet Resort is located in Willawong which is mainly a farm like suburb with plenty of space, occupied by other pet accommodation, plant nurseries or industrial businesses.
The staff I have met here are very informative and helpful. They make sure you get as much information as possible and answered all the queries I had. They staff at reception organised for me to do a walk-​through to have a lot at the facilities. Obviously the kennels were very loud. Some dogs either looked liked they loved it, or in major distress. Most dogs here are buddied up with another dog of similar size and temperament. Otherwise if you pay for the premium accommodations which is about $ 70/​day on peak time, the dog can stay in a small air conditioned room with TV and big sized bed.
They do not allow you to bring any of your dogs toys or bed, but if you wanted your dog to eat their usual food, you will need to provide it as well as pay extra for this privilege. You have to pay extra for a lot of things including, personal playtime with your dog ($ ¹⁰⁄₂₀ minutes), brushing ($ 6/​session), playing with a kong toy ($ 4/​session) and applying medication ($ 2.50/ day).
I personally don’t like the fact you have to pay extra for all these things. But the staff are lovely and I’m sure any dog would enjoy staying there either in their own room or share it with a room mate.
