Insulated dog kennels and exercise yards at Eastside Boarding Kennels, Flynn

Trusted by Maffra Dog Owners

A Farm Stay Worth the Short Drive from Maffra

Maffra is dairy and farming country, and the dogs that come from here are used to space. At Eastside Boarding Kennels they get to keep it - our farm at Flynn gives your dog secure grassed yards to run in and quiet insulated kennels to rest in, rather than a cramped suburban set-up.

It is a straightforward trip from Maffra down through Sale and out along the highway to us. Close enough that drop-off is easy, with a genuine farm environment waiting at the other end.

We have been family-run since 2003, and a lot of our Maffra and Macalister-district guests have been coming back for years. Your dog is looked after by the same people every visit.

Why Maffra Chooses Eastside

Care That Brings People Back, Holiday After Holiday

A true country farm stay

For dogs used to room on a Maffra property, our open farm setting and grassed exercise yards feel a lot more like home than a suburban kennel.

Insulated, oversized kennels

Every kennel is insulated and larger than standard - warm in winter, sheltered, and roomy enough for your dog to settle.

One dog, one routine

Guests are housed individually and exercised on their own or with family members, so timid and senior dogs stay calm and comfortable.

Working-dog and family-pet friendly

From farm dogs to house companions, we have looked after every kind of Gippsland dog since 2003.

Special diets and medication

Bring your dog's usual food and any medication and we will keep their routine running exactly as it does at home.

Extra pampering on request

Add a hydro-bath or day care so your dog comes home happy and fresh.
