HOLIDAY FOR PETS

Your dog is welcome here, either at the River House or at the Full Moon Bush Cabins. These are two guest farms adjoin each other, a wonderful place for a doggy holiday.

The animal can romp to its hearts’ delight in the fields, on the riverbanks, and in the water. We have a number of ideal trails and will be happy to provide guests with sketch maps and directions. Our friendly border collies  (both females) welcome dog visitors and once they have all sniffed each other out they get along just fine.

But, as with humans, we can’t permit hooligan animals and the owners must be prepared to take responsibility. Ensure that your dog is under control when other people or animals are around. Also, we can’t be asked to look after your dogs or take responsibility in your absence.  Please do not leave them in the rooms – they can cause damage. Any damage in rooms or on the property must be paid for.

We limit dog visitors and require that dog owners accept full liability and responsibility. Charge is R40 per dog per day. Please discuss your dogwalk or overnight stay with Karen at 082 475 8767. Due to  unfortunate incidents, we regret we do not allow Rottweilers, Alsatians, Bull Terriers, Staffordshires, Dobermans or any other large watchdog (eg male Ridgeback, Boerbul, etc) or any kind of dog with a history of attacking others or biting people.

Some basic requirements are:

1. Discuss your dog with Karen before booking. Dogs must be on a leash in the presence of other people.

2. By coming here with your animal you assume full responsibility and liability for any injury, accident, loss or damage caused by your animal or due to its presence on the property, indemnifying the owners of Otters’ Haunt against any claim whatsoever. Remove doggie-doo from lawns and other guest areas.

4. Many small wild game such as Vervet Monkeys, Porcupines, Caracal, and Otters inhabit the property, so we expect you to control your animals and keep them with you.
