1. Bookings:

• • We love having dogs at Bimbi Park! To ensure everyone’s safety and comfort, please let us know in advance if you’re bringing your dog along. Upon arrival, our team will check in with you to confirm your dog is all set for a great stay. If no booking was made beforehand, we’ll do our best to accommodate your dog, but acceptance will be at the discretion of our staff.

2. Dogs/Pet in Cabins:

• • No dog/pet is permitted on any furniture in the cabins, such as lounges, kitchen tables, chairs, kitchen bench tops, side tables, and especially beds. If there is evidence of dogs on furniture, a cleaning fee of a minimum of $100 will apply.
  • There is also a fee for having pets in accommodation, though this does not apply to pets staying on camping sites.

3. Areas Dogs/Pets Are Not Allowed:

• • For health and safety reasons, dogs/pets are not allowed in the following areas: splash park, camp kitchen, lounge, dining room, amenities block, playground, reception, or shop.

4. Dog/Pet Behaviour, Noise and Supervision:

• • Dogs/pets must be supervised at all times and never left unattended inside or outside your accommodation, site or vehicle or on Bimbi Park grounds.

• • Dog/pet owners must ensure their animals do not disturb other guests. Excessive barking, aggressive behavior, or uncontrolled pets may result in you being asked to leave the park without a refund.

• • Dogs/pets must be kept on a leash at all times while within Bimbi Park. The leash must be no more than two meters in length. No dog ‘runs’ are allowed to be set up. This is for the safety of your dog/pet, the park’s wildlife, and the comfort of other campers.

5. Dog/Pet Behaving Badly:

• • The dog/pet owner must agree that Bimbi Park staff reserve the right to evict any guest, without refund or prior warning, whose dog/pet is deemed noisy, disruptive, aggressive, or the subject of complaints from other guests. It is the dog/pet owner’s responsibility to control and manage their dog/pet at all times.

6. Personal Damage or Injury:

• • Dog/pet owners are personally responsible for any and all personal injuries and/or property damage or losses caused by their dog/pet. Owners will be held liable for any actions by or because of their dog/pet.

7. Snakes and Dog/Pet Injuries:

• • It is the responsibility of the dog/pet owner to keep their animals away from bushes and scrub where there may be snakes. Bimbi Park will not be held responsible for any costs related to your dog/pet’s injury or death.

8. Native Wildlife:

• • The owner must always control their dogs/pets, as Bimbi Park is home to a large amount of native wildlife. Heavy government penalties apply for the injury or death of native wildlife. Any injury or death of wildlife is the full responsibility of the dog/pet owner.

9. Dog/Pet DOODOOS:

• • Dog/pet owners are 100% responsible for picking up their animals’ waste. Please use your own plastic bags or the ones supplied around the park to pick up and place the waste in the rubbish bins around the park.

10. Dog/Pet Grooming:

• • For health and safety reasons, dogs/pets must not be washed or cleaned anywhere within the park. Additionally, any dog/pet-related accessories, such as blankets or bedding, should not be washed or cleaned in the park.

11. Great Otway National Park:

• • Bimbi Park is private property, and dogs/pets on a leash can be walked around our grounds. However, dogs/pets are not allowed in the Great Otway National Park. This includes areas such as Station Beach and the end of the Lighthouse Walk. Please refer to the “Pet-friendly guide” available on our website or from our office for more details.

12. Non-Compliance:

• • Bimbi Park reserves the right to ask guests who do not comply with this dog/pet policy to vacate the premises without a refund.

By adhering to these guidelines, we can all ensure that Bimbi Park remains a safe and enjoyable destination for all guests, pets, and the surrounding wildlife.
