Our host thought of everything that you could need for the perfect holiday. Everyone is happy and relaxed. Thank you Trish & Catherine for making our break fabulous.
Zoe & Jethro W., Abbotsford – September, 2009
What can we say that hasn’t already been said – you are the best and everything was perfect. Fantastic location, well equipped and easy access to secluded river walks – what more could you ask for. We would recommend Tyntynder to everyone.
Judith & Kos S., Gladstone Park – September, 2009 (5TH VISIT)
We have had 2 spoodles for two and a half years and since that time have not had a holiday lasting more than overnight as we have never found accommodation that lived up to OUR expectations as well as catering to the needs of our dogs – until now. Tyntynder Lodge has great, clean, high standard accommodation for adults and everything we need for our dogs – closed in garden, they are allowed inside, etc, etc. It is all just so clean and of such a high standard.
Rod S., Point Cook – September, 2009
We travel with our dogs whenever possible. Our stay at Tyntynder Lodge has been absolutely wonderful. The dogs have been allowed to just be ‘dogs’ but at the same time their training as ‘social’ animals has been enriched. The facilities are completely dog friendly without compromise of our own comfort. We are happy and relaxed and so are our 4 legged boys.
Les & Jenni T., Werri Beach – August, 2009
It is a beautiful location and the amenities are excellent. The staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome – they can’t do enough to make your stay more pleasant and comfortable. We all just love it.
Bert & Daphne O., Cobram – August, 2009
Our 2 cavaliers are leisure/pleasure seeking missiles and they landed at Tyntynder as happy as clams. A safe big garden, treats, a fire to come home to after a romp by the river and we all went to bed tired but happy. It was terrific.
Danielle K., Albert Park – August, 2009 ALREADY BOOKED NEXT VISIT
We found the very well appointed cottages clean and welcoming. Rahni enjoyed the secure fenced garden – great!! Awesome surroundings and very friendly natives. We will be back.

John & Sally R., Weetangera, A.C.T. – August, 2009
Tyntynder Lodge is a beautiful, welcoming haven for all. Whether it is lazing by the fire, lying on the deck looking at the view or running along the banks of the Ovens River that’s 30 seconds away – no place could offer more.
Lyn W., Somers – August, 2009 – 2ND VISIT
Tyntynder was a fantastic place to bring the dogs. We could head off and enjoy the slopes skiing while our spoilt hounds were doggy sat by the lovely Sharna. It’s a great, clean, warm and friendly place to relax with our dogs. Thanks. We will be back

Margaret R., Craigieburn – June, 2009
Tyntynder Cottages have become a home away from home for us. The bedrooms are very crisp and clean; the living/kitchen area is neat and cosy with everything you need. All you have to do is the grocery shopping. It has a fully secured yard with a lovely garden. Not only is it just right for the pooches it’s delightful for their owners.
Tracey B. Bendigo – June, 2009 8TH VISIT

The unit was great with everything you could want. The peace and quiet was restful. We really enjoyed just sitting on the verandah enjoying the birds and the quiet. We have already booked for another fortnight next year.
