Kanasta Caravan Park

Kanasta Caravan Park is a family caravan park in Rye, close to the beach, with a set of designated pet-friendly cabins and retro caravans. It suits a budget-friendly peninsula stay where the dog is part of the trip rather than an afterthought.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcome in the nominated pet-friendly cabins and retro caravans only, so book one of those specifically. Inside those, dogs are not allowed on carpeted areas, on furniture or on beds. The fee is 22 dollars per night per dog, and the park donates a portion of that to Mornington Peninsula Dog Rescue. Confirm any size or number limits when you book, as these can apply.

The place. Expect a practical park set-up with cabin options up to two bedrooms, clean cabins, comfortable beds, outdoor patio areas and a games room. It is geared to families, so it is a social rather than secluded stay.

Location and nearby. The park is close to the beach and the Rye township. The Rye off-leash bay beach is the obvious dog outing, off-leash outside the summer midday closure, with foreshore paths on-leash. Keep a lead handy around the park itself and in town.

Before you book. Ask for a pet-friendly cabin or retro caravan by name, confirm the 22 dollar per dog nightly fee and any limits, and check the no-carpet, no-furniture rules work for your dog. Bring a bed and a mat to keep them off the built-in surfaces.
