Some important things to remember
LY
when travelling with your pet:
• Always ring ahead to check your pet will be welcome. Caravan
parks that accept pets will have conditions, e.g. only certain
PA R K animals, or pets only during peak periods.
• Pets are generally accepted on sites and in your accommodation.
They will usually not be allowed in cabins or in amenities areas.
• Some caravan parks now offer pet friendly cabin accommodation.
Parks that offer this, will state this in their listing.
• When contacting the park, talk to park managers about pet rules
and pet friendly common areas. Some parks offer spaces that
allow owners and pets to socialise off-site.
• Pets will not enjoy their holiday if left unattended, so if you are
leaving the park, always take your pet with you.
• Remember to keep your pet on a leash at all times and to clean
up any mess immediately.
• Barking dogs can be a nuisance and detract from people's
enjoyment, please keep your dog quiet when staying in a park.
• Please be aware that other people in the park are also on holiday,
keep the impact of your pet to a minimum so that it does not
detract from other people's enjoyment.
• Guide dogs, hearing dogs, and assistance dogs are allowed
different conditions to pets. Owners of such dogs are also

affordable option for retirees. Many are
realising that residing in a residential park/
village is a sensible affordable alternative
to high cost, high maintenance, isolated
living in the old family home in the suburbs.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a
residential stay at a caravan park, there are
a diverse range of caravan parks in regional
locations that offer a mix of tourist and
residential accommodation. Residential
living options will vary considerably in these
mixed parks.
Manufactured Homes Insurance Agency
(MHIA) offer competitive premiums to
people who reside within residential home
parks. They automatically include events
like accidental damage and mechanical and
electrical burnout – many insurers class
these as additional options.
MHIA also recognises that many people
who reside in residential villages like to
travel Australia and so they don’t penalise
you for leaving your home for long periods
of time. Check your insurance exclusions
as many companies limit the length of
time you can leave your home unattended.
