A 5-acre doggy paradise in the Gold Coast hinterland at Mudgeeraba. Luxury villas, a private dog pool and a family-run team of expert carers, so while you’re on holiday, your dog is on one too.
Tucked away in leafy Mudgeeraba, it’s like a farm stay for dogs. Dogs don’t want a cage and a quiet corner. They want space to run, friends to play with, things to explore and someone who knows their name. That’s exactly what they get here.
From cosy Standard Rooms to King’s Villas with a real bed and private courtyard, every room is cleaned daily and made for a good night’s sleep. Every stay includes meals, fresh bedding, toys and plenty of playtime. Prices are per dog, per day.

“Max is a very very anxious Staffy who many kennels have refused to take… He’s never been so settled and happy at a boarding kennel. Absolutely first class boarding.”
“Fletcher and Magnus stayed for 5 days while we were away, and they were so well looked after. We especially loved receiving the regular photos and updates.”
“AAA is a home away from home for our Rottweiler, Gracie Mae… Gracie stays in the King Suite and enjoys a home away from home.”
“The staff and the premises are excellent. They even celebrated one of the dogs’ birthday with party hats and a treat. The best kennels I have ever used.”
“Their rooms are homey, they have TVs for the pups and a splash area, the staff are really nice and their love for dogs is immediately apparent.”
“They treated my babies like family and the rooms they offer are just immaculate!”
AAA Pet Resort is family-run, and we’ve been caring for Gold Coast dogs since 2011, when we took over a tired local kennel and set out to build the pet resort the coast deserved. Since then we’ve added King’s and Queen’s Villas, 14 play yards and the Bark’n’Splash pool.
Our trained, experienced carers look after every guest. Your dog sees the same friendly faces for their whole stay, so they settle in fast. We’ll know your dog, and your dog will know us.
