55Daisy had such a fun time! She’s leash reactive to other dogs so the option of taking her somewhere with a large fully fenced space she can run free is amazing. And she loved exploring the second paddock too, we kept her on a long line in there as the fence isn’t fully dog proof at the moment, they even had long lines to borrow which was great as we’d left ours at home. We’ll definitely be back for more sniffaris!Natalie W.

55Every time we visit, you can see the improvements being made. The planting, fencing and mowing really make a difference to how safe it feels to let your dog loose. The facility to deposit your dog’s poop down a compost hole is most welcome too, as we drive quite a way to come here (because it is so special), and we don’t have the smell of it in our vehicle. Our dogs now recognise the place and they get excited as we drive up the hill to get to it. Thanks so much Annie.Tessa C.

55Lots of variety...flax bushes to explore, logs and wood to climb up and around, open spaces to zip around...but the absolute most favourite was the boggy swamp...Brigid B.

55We LOVE Sniffari! So nice to have a place where we can romp unleashed and not ever worry that another dog will appear. The sniffari paddock has long grass, bushes, fallen trees, a pond, and occasionally farm animals in adjacent fields, so there is always something to sniff or train. There's even dog poo compost bins and a toilet for the humans! Annie goes above and beyond to accommodate her guests.Jalyn N.

55Wonderful welcoming environment with lots of variety for dogs..a pond, swampy areas with rushes and flaxes perfect for sniffing and large open spaces for my dog to race around. My dog is small (mini dachshund) so can squeeze through the fences so I keep her on my own long line. I do see that the owner also has some available for use. Brigid B.

55Absolutely beautiful spot, so well thought out and the perfect space to safely exercise and decompress our puppy during that funky teenage stage! Despite taking toys with us, he finds the toys already there to be his favourite ☺️😁Kitty G.

55What a fantastic place for my reactive dog - no stress wondering if we will run into any other people or animals, so much space and so many interesting things to sniff that you don’t get in the city. And most importantly - plenty of sticks. She’s now a very happy and tired dog! We will be sure to come back again soon! Nova M.

55What a lovely spot! Freya is reactive on leash and can get quite aroused by even just seeing another dog. It’s so nice to have a safe space for her to just explore without having to worry about other dogs. The three paddocks are wonderful, we were very pleasantly surprised there’s a duck pond :) Leonie K.
