A cosy wooden cabin
We are safe and caring small animal luxury boutique boarding lodge with very experienced guardians to care for your beloved pet. Our purpose built insulated and air conditioned cabin holds secure apartments for individual and bonded bunnies or guinea pigs.
This is your small animal’s home away from home. We prefer your bunny is having fun in the Bun Run, so we keep our boarding numbers low so your small animal gets the attention and duration of exercise they deserve.
Your small animal is monitored by video cameras at all times, our premises is fully security monitored, including our Bun Run.
The cabin is cosy, light, bright and well ventilated. We also have an advanced air conditioning temperature monitoring system.
Premium hay is fed – this is grown specifically for us. Lots of different enrichment is offered to your small animal when they stay including a TV to watch!
Your bunny/s will be health checked to make sure their scent glands are clean and they do not have a poopy bum - this in conjunction with our clean and hygienic surroundings is what prevents fly strike. Fly screens drastically reduce air flow and do not allow for privacy from other boarders (imagine if a fly was locked behind the screen with your bunny and couldn’t get out!). Medication is given at no extra cost, we also specialise in spay/neuter recovery. We take the health of your small animal very, very seriously.
We absolutely do not allow volunteers. Your small animals are entrusted with fully screened experienced and professional employees only.
All of our large apartments have bunny safe flooring, soft hygienic cage liners for bunny hocks and guinea pig feet. Litter trays are completely changed daily and topped up throughout the day. Our trays have a large layer of hay over the litter so your small animal isn’t balancing on hard pellets and hurting their feet/hocks.
The front of the cabin is surrounded by an enclosed play area called the Bun Run - so much binky fun! Weather permitting, your bunny will have daily supervised play time in this zone. Your bunny (or bunnies, if bonded) will never mix with other boarders.
We do not hang food or have hay racks, we are very mindful of our older arthritic boarders.
Of course we can accommodate your outside bunnies!! If your bunny/s live outside we have beautiful outdoor runs available with cosy shelters, waterproof and shaded from the sun. If there is a very bad weather event and it is unsafe for your beloved pet to be outside we will move them indoors. We have all options available to you - your outdoor bunny couldn’t ask for more!
Amenities

Each apartment includes a bunny cave, toys, chew sticks and so much enrichment during their stay!

“Thank you for looking after my fur babies while I was on holiday...when I arrived to drop them off I felt at total ease, Shileigh was so warm and welcoming and I felt my babies were in good hands - the facilities were amazing and safe. Would recommend BBNS to anyone - 5 star rabbit hotel!”
