WHERE WE BOARD DOGS
Dog boarding across the Mid North Coast
Big Dog Farm Stay is at Johns River, right on the Pacific Highway between Port Macquarie and Taree. We board social dogs from every town within 50km, and we'll come and collect them for a flat $40. Pick your town below for drive times and local details.
Ours is an open-paddock farm stay, so our guests share their days with a small, friendly group — perfect for dogs who love the company of other dogs.
