This was our first family holiday together; my husband and I and our 4 legged son, Harley. We welcomed Harley into our lives from SaveADog Society after he was rescued from death row. This weekend brought so much joy to us watching him swim in the river, taking the long beautiful walks and sleeping by the fire. And yes – he also loved the toasted marshmellows. The house was so clean and cosy – we will be back.
Carly H., Doreen – June, 2010
This is great place to stay – with or without your dog – we were all totally relaxed.
Lynne & Geoff B., Pokolbin – June, 2010
We keep coming back because Tyntynder Lodge is so peaceful for the owners and so perfect for their dogs. The accommodation is just so tasteful and pleasant and one could not ask for anything more. The gardens and fenced areas are so attractive. We all just love it.
John H., Black Rock – June 2010 – 3rd VISIT
Beautiful gardens, great facilities, totally secure garden, close to fund and safe walking tracks. Nothing is too much trouble it seems!
Lyn K., Chelsea Heights – June, 2010
Having stayed at several Pet Friendly accommodation places it was a real delight to return to Tyntynder Lodge. All our needs and requirements were met – as usual. Privacy – which we value; delightful walks by the river; excellent position. All in all we left very contented – as usual.
Naomi B., Beaumaris – May 2010 –3RD VISIT
After several visits to Tyntynder Lodge we again find it a pleasure to have such enjoyable accommodation. The units are very clean and warm and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Jan & Ken C., Lakes Entrance – May, 2010 – 4TH VISIT – NEXT ONE ALREADY BOOKED
This is our 4th stay at Tyntynder. It sounds a cliché to say “This is the best” – but it is!! We stay all over Victoria in dog friendly accommodation – and nowhere else even comes close to Tyntynder. The owner goes to great trouble to make you and your pet welcome. It works!!
Russell A., Middle Park – May, 2010 – 3RD VISIT – NEXT ONE ALREADY BOOKED
Both humans and dogs are welcomed to these beautifully situated cottages – each with a private fenced garden shaded by lovely trees. They are situated close to the river with great walking tracks close by. We had a lovely time and hope to make it back again soon.
Jenny V., Warrnambool – May, 2010
Benji (our Maltese), my daughter and I return twice a year to enjoy our stay at Tyntynder Lodge. We all enjoy the quiet time and the lovely setting.
Mavis C., Mansfield – May, 2010 – 11TH VISIT
This place is the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. Everything is so fresh and clean and comfortable. It was nice to have the freshly made bed and white fluffy towels when we arrived. Thanks for our stay.
Ann & Peter McC., East Malvern – April, 2010
We really enjoyed our stay with you because
- The Unit was fantastic
- The river backs on to the property and we could explore all the walking tracks
- We had ample room to move around both in the Unit and the large garden.
Damien F., South Morang – April, 2010
It is a perfect setting for a holiday – you have your own beautiful garden, comfortable bed, delightful surrounds and lots of lovely walks by the river.
Greg & Joanna E., Malvern – April, 2010
The facilities here are excellent. The private yard area is secure and everything is within walking distance. Cath & John’s information sheets are very useful.
Renata M., Elwood – April, 2010 2ND VISIT
The garden sparkles in the sun
The river walk is a whole lot of fun
The swings are the best
The garden is where I like to rest
The movies were great
Watching them with my mate
Our suitcases weigh a ton
When our holiday is done.

If I were a dog this is where I would bring my owners and family. Perfectly thought through and presented. Tyntynder provides what must be the ultimate in first class accommodation & facilities for us all.
Hilary & Mike N., Doncaster East – March, 2010
Tyntynder Lodge is a fantastic place to stay with or without your family pets. The unit was spotless, the riverside walks were great and it was so nice to know your pets were safe when they were outside. I will definitely recommend my friends to come here for their holidays in Bright.
Carole & Neil T., Beaumaris - March, 2010
Best, most relaxing, quiet, comfortable 2 weeks holiday we have ever had – it gets better every year. Loved it. We will be back next year for an even longer holiday. Bright itself is very dog friendly and we were able to take Molly everywhere.

Absolutely spotless accommodation & clean, manicured totally secure back garden. Fantastic location with great proximity to the river and walking tracks. We all had a ball.

Trevor W., Warrnambool – March, 2010
It’s our second visit here and the whole family had a ball. Swims in the river out the back gate, snoozes in the yard under the oak tree and bbq’s on the deck. It’s the most comfy, relaxing and fuss-free way to holiday. Big kudos & thanks to Cath & Trish.

Matthew D. , Watsonia – January, 2010
We come back again and again to Tyntynder because of the peace and quiet that comes from pets being safe and happy and able to come inside so everyone is relaxed. The cottages are always clean and tidy and the gardens and yard are so nice. You always have all you want and everyone involved is always friendly.
Stu & Jill C. , Invergordon – January, 2010 9TH VISIT
My name is “Soosie”. My owner brought me here for a lovely stay. They had a lovely relaxing holiday because I was a happy little dog. I loved the clean cottage – no doggy smells. I loved the leafy green yard too. My owner said “It was like a home away from home and we’ll be back”. I’m glad.
Soosie & Mavis B., Milawa - January, 2010
Tyntynder is a relaxed environment that offers everything you need. A self contained garden, plenty of shade and only a minutes walk to the river. Well done Tyntynder – we loved our stay.
Mark M., Narre Warren South – January, 2010
From the moment we walked in the door we knew we were in heaven. This is a gorgeous cottage and grounds. Thank you Catherine & John for a very special holiday.
Lisa R., Leongatha – December, 2009
After 4 years Holly remembered the river. Straight to the back gate tail wagging furiously. Nothing like a swim in mountain water followed by dinner and treats. An extremely comfortable sty, once agin, for Holly & family.
Athol G., Nanaweena –December, 2009 3rd VISIT
Our dog George had a wonderful holiday. He enjoyed splashing around in the nearly river and the magical walks that were accessible from our gardens back fence. We will be staying here in the future.
Brigitte K., Croydon – December, 2009
We love Tyntynder Lodge because we can lie in the sun, snooze in the shade, walk to the river and dangle our feet, see our neighbours in safety and get doggy treats for being good.
Ruby the Schnauzer & Jasmine the Boxer, Eltham – November, 2009 – 7th VISIT

Janet & Peter F., Trentham – November, 2009 4TH VISIT & NEXT ONE ALREADY BOOKED
The accommodation was great. Fantastic back garden for the dog and lots of other great facilities. So close to everything and with many wonderful walks for humans and their dogs. We took our dog for so many walks she needed to have lots of sleeps and went to bed early every night. Our vet said she needed to lose weight and that aim was definitely achieved when we had our great holiday here.
Nichola & Bryce A, Rowville – November, 2009
Thank you – you have provided everything to make our stay more comfortable and relaxed. We have genuinely felt welcome here. We look forward to our next visit. Highly recommended.
