Quick answers
The three things everyone asks.
No digging required. Here's what you need to know before you book. The full details are always one tap away.
- F3 vaccination in the last 12 months, ideally at least 2 weeks before the stay (no certificate handy when you book? Choose ‘Tentative’ and we'll hold your suite)
- Flea and tick treatment 1–2 weeks before arrival
- Good health on the day. Cats showing signs of illness can't stay
- A small blanket or toy from home is welcome. We have everything else
Up to 12 catio sessions a day
- The suite is their bedroom: food, water, bedding, litter and somewhere up high to hide. Cats feel safest in a private, enclosed space when they first arrive, and that's what the suites are purpose-built for
- The catio and main building are the backyard, to stalk the chooks, laze in the sun or just cruise about. One family at a time, on rotation
- Want a bigger space of their own? The Farmhouse Cottage and Tiny Home are standalone, with their own catio
Where they'll stay
Four ways to holiday.
Every stay includes climate control, supervised catio time, premium bedding, enrichment and 24/7 care. Pick the space that suits your cat's personality.

Why families choose us
Not your stock-standard cattery.
Burraburoo Homestead is a 9-acre family farm high on Black Mountain. The hotel is part of our home, and everything in it is built on evidence-based feline welfare, from the suites to the daily routine.
01
Arrivals by appointment
One family at a time, so every handover is calm and unhurried. Cats settle in faster when nothing is rushed.
02
Never mixed. Ever.
Our Farmhouse guests share one building, but cats from different families never mix. Hard barriers sit between every suite, and catio time is one family at a time, on rotation. No swats, no stares, no stress.
03
Up to 12 catio sessions a day
From 5:15am breakfast with a view to the 10:30pm night owl session.
04
Farm life to watch
Alpacas, sheep, cattle, chickens, ducks and roaming peacocks, right outside the window.
05
Calm, cool and quiet
Split-system air conditioning serviced twice a year, soft music, and suites that face the valley.
Black Mountain, Noosa Hinterland
Welcome to the farm.
Boasting breathtaking views, fresh mountain air, an abundance of birdlife for guests to observe and a true country feel, relaxation isn’t hard to achieve here! One of the rare flat parcels of land in Black Mountain, access is super easy, with loads of turning circle space once inside the gates too.
A day at the hotel
Cooped up in a cage? Heck no.
The suite is their bedroom, the catio is their backyard. Here's every catio session, every day, on rotation so everyone gets a turn. Cottage and Tiny Home guests can explore their own catio any time.

Can I tour the hotel first?+
We don't offer in-person tours. Unfamiliar people, voices and smells can unsettle the cats already staying with us, and their calm comes first. Instead, every suite has video tours on our Instagram, and you're welcome to call Amy with any question.
Will my cat mix with other cats?+
Definitely not. Hard barriers are in place between guests at all times, and time outside the suite is offered privately, on rotation. We even plan around "visual bullying", so suites are arranged so no one faces another cat.
My cat is really shy. Can they still stay?+
Absolutely. Amy loves sitting quietly with shy, timid and first-time guests to build trust. The Farmhouse Cottage and half suites are lovely for cats who prefer a quieter, smaller space.
Can I bring my cat's own food?+
Yes. Supermarket-brand wet and dry food and treats are included, but you're welcome to bring your own. Raw food must be commercially made for pets and compliant with Australian Standard AS 5812, or cooked first.
What's the deposit and payment policy?+
A 20% non-refundable deposit secures your booking, and the balance is due 2 weeks before arrival. Prices are per day, counting both the arrival and departure days.
What happens over Christmas?+
The hotel stays fully open with the same around-the-clock care, but there are no arrivals or departures from 24 December 2026 to 1 January 2027. Christmas usually books out by June, so get in early.
