Guide Dogs - Beau's Personalised Pet Hotel


Guide Dogs SA is building a state-of-the-art purpose built pet hotel at the Adelaide Airport.

An artist’s impression of how the pet hotel will look inside

Located on the airport’s western edge, adjacent to Tapleys Hill Road, the hotel will provide a range of accommodation options for dogs, cats and other pets. 

“Its strategic location close to the airport, adjacent to our glorious metropolitan beaches and Adelaide Shores will be so convenient for inbound and outbound travellers,” said former Chief Executive Kate Thiele. All profits from the pet hotel will help us fund more services to help change the lives of people living with disability."

Guide Dogs SA will run the hotel which was designed by Walter Brooke Architects. It was officially named named Beau’s Personalised Pet Hotel after the first guide dog officially trained in Australia.

A little black Kelpie x Fox Terrier of unknown heritage, Beau was matched to Mrs Elsie Mead in August 1952, and provided Elsie with 13 years of faithful service as her Guide Dog. 

As Elsie’s loyal companion, Beau provided independence and safety and, according to Mrs Mead, “opened the portals of a new life for me and bridged the gulf that normally separates the sighted and the sightless”.You can read more about his story here…

What does Beau's provide as standard?

The hotel will offer “companion boarding”, where dogs and cats that are used to being together can be housed in pairs.There will be three choices of accommodation for pooches: Classic, Deluxe or Premier room and two options for cats: Loft or Penthouse Condo.
  • Standard and luxury accommodation for cats and dogs
  • Mesh-free and concrete-free suites

  • State-of-the-art design
  • Bushfire risk-free location

  • Indoor/outdoor play areas

Sporn Marrow Chew Bone

The Sporn Marrow Chew Bone (originally called the Yuppie Puppy ) is a jerky-flavour filled chewable nylon bone, which promises to control tartar and plaque, assisting with your dog's dental health. After putting it to the test for a number of years with our three Belgian Shepherds, we can attest that it is great for the toughest of chewers and may even save some of your furniture or shoes. Especially recommended during the puppy phase, when your dog is constantly teething and needs something to chew. Chewing this bone is similar to brushing their teeth. As the nylon shreds, it becomes like bristles, removing tartar and plaque build-up from the teeth. These interactive dental chew toys are unique to most other flavoured nylon bones as the marrow is added after the bone has been moulded and cooled. After trialling other brands on the market, we found that the marrow makes the difference and keeps our dogs coming back for more. Our dogs can surely smell it long before they can t...
