Pets

Christies Beach Tourist Park is excited to announce that we are a pet-friendly park year-round, effective July 1, 2025.

The beach in front of our park is dog-friendly so we are the perfect location to stay with your pooch.

We accept pets on all sites (not in cabins). There are still guidelines to follow as part of the City of Onkaparinga, which can be found here.

We understand that while many of our guests travel with pets, others may prefer a pet-free environment. With this in mind, we’ll continue to do our best to allocate guests away from pets where possible, based on availability and known bookings. If this applies to you, please feel free to reach out to us so we can explore the best arrangement for your stay.

With more pets expected in the park, we’ll be placing an even stronger focus on our Pet Rules and Regulations (see below) to ensure a safe, clean, and enjoyable experience for all guests—whether they’re traveling with pets or not. Responsible pet ownership will be key, and we’ll be relying on all pet owners to follow these rules at all times after signing the document upon check in.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we make this transition. We're excited to welcome all members of your family—furry ones included—and remain committed to making your stay as enjoyable as possible.
