Kennels and chains are available as required and a facility is available at two cottages to close off the deck with gates.
Pets are allowed inside the cottages as long as they are well behaved, have their own beds/bedding and are kept off the furniture. Guest have to accept responsibility for any damage caused by their pets. Although the council require dogs to be on a leash when on the beach between 8am and 7pm, the beach is 10km long and usually quite deserted so leashes are not normally necessary

who own horses are very welcome to bring them to the retreat. Several paddocks
are available to accommodate them with one small paddock near Banksia
cottage for those guests who want to be able see their horse/s.

The
long white sandy beach is perfect for horse riding. A short 3km ride to the
north is the access to Manning Point village or another kilometre takes you
to the mouth of the Manning River opposite Harrington where you have a choice
of riding another kilometre or so along the edge of the river back to the village
or returning along the ocean beach.
Riding to the south provides a much longer ride of 6 or seven kilometres to Farquar Park at the other mouth of the Manning River and when the mouth is closed from sand build up, it is possible to ride across to Old Bar Beach and further.
