Natureland Seal Sanctuary

Love, love, love. This has been our favourite unusual furiendly find and it was totally worth the long journey.

The seal sanctuary receives no government or council funding so relies on visitors and donations. It was a great morning out and it was so interesting to find out more about the work the sanctuary does. The pups are rescued, made fit and healthy and released back into the wild.  

I'd suggest getting there for the seal and penguin feeding at half 11. You'll be there for an hour, maybe two so I'd advise visiting the beach afterwards if you are travelling from further a field.

Pet food is available if you'd like to feed the goats (Henry was our favourite), rabbits and guineapigs.

Arlo had the best time and it was nice to see that he took an a interest in the baby seals. It may not be the best adventure if you have a dog with a strong prey drive. 

The staff were all really friendly and knowledgeable. They were more than happy to answer all my questions and were genuinely happy to see four legged visitors.

Have you visited the sanctuary? How did you enjoy your visit?

Pay and display car parks near-by, otherwise there is road parking opposite the sanctuary. 
Alpacas are not at the sanctuary during the winter months.
Toilets and cafe on site.
Water bowls around.
The only area dogs aren't allowed is the butterfly house (makes complete sense). They can even visit the Crocodiles and Meercats with you.
