What should I bring when dropping off my cat?
We ask that you bring your cat in a secure carrier, that is not opened until they are securely inside their cabin. If you are bringing their own food, prescription or otherwise, please bring only enough to cover their stay, in a resealable container marked with their name. The same applies to medication, which must be clearly labelled with their name and dose.
We recommend you bring some things from home to help your cat settle with us. This could be;
- a blanket they like to sleep on, or lives in the lounge.
- a dressing gown.
- a favourite bed
- a few of their toys
Litter trays, bowls and dishes are all availble within their cabin, and do not need to be brought for their stay unless you feel your cat would like them.

Are bookings required in advance?
Yes — we recommend booking early, especially around holidays and school breaks, as our cat cabins and lodges are popular with returning guests.
15
Can I tour the cabins before booking?
Absolutely! We’d love to show you around. Please contact us to arrange a viewing.
