Marina View Lifestyle Village

Marina View Lifestyle Village is a caravan and lifestyle park at 38 Salmon Street in Hastings, on the Western Port side of the Mornington Peninsula close to the marina. It is a working base for the bayside end of the peninsula rather than the surf beaches, and the confirmed pet arrangement is simple: dogs stay with you in your own caravan, motorhome or tent on the powered sites.

Dogs at Marina View Lifestyle Village

Pets are welcome on the grassed powered caravan and camping sites when you bring your own rig, and travellers with dogs regularly report a friendly reception and good lawned areas for morning walks. Cabins are the uncertain part: some guest reviews mention dog-friendly cabins, but the park's confirmed policy covers your own van or tent, and pet rules for the built accommodation can differ or restrict dogs altogether. If you need a cabin, call the park on +61 3 5979 2322 before booking and get the pet question answered for your specific dates. No pet fee or size limit is published.

The park itself

Facilities run to what makes a site stay easy: clean amenity blocks, a gas BBQ area, and a communal room with pool table, table tennis and an open fire for evenings when the bay wind picks up. The park sits within walking distance of the Hastings foreshore and marina precinct, so the dog gets water views on every walk without you driving anywhere.

Getting there and parking

Salmon Street runs along the waterfront at Hastings, reached from Frankston via the Frankston-Flinders Road or from the Monash Freeway side through Cranbourne. Sites have room for a van plus the tow vehicle, and the town's shops and the marina are both a short walk or drive.

Close by with the dogs

The Cypress-Samuel Reserve Fenced Dog Park is the local fenced run, and the Hastings Foreshore Reserve Dog Off Leash Area gives your dog off-lead beach-adjacent time. The Harbourside Cafe works for a coffee stop near the water. If the park is booked out, the Western Port Harbour Caravan Park at Somerville also takes dogs. More options are on the Victoria dog-friendly stays page, and the Hastings destination guide covers the town.
