n
Yandina Hound Hotel is a family-owned boarding facility on the Sunshine Coast.
n
Our philosophy is simple:

"If this was my own dog, what would I want for them today?"
n
Our guests stay in private rooms with their own courtyards and receive individual walks, play, enrichment, attention and care from our team.
n
We want families to be able to go away with peace of mind, knowing their best friend is safe, loved and enjoying a holiday of their own.
