Animal Policy

At Thumbaya Resorts, we offer a unique experience where guests can immerse themselves in nature and interact with our resident animals. To ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all, we have established the following guidelines:

Interaction with Animals

  • Guests are welcome to observe and interact with our farm and wildlife animals, including horses, cows, goats, and birds.
  • Feeding and handling of animals are only permitted under the supervision of resort staff.
  • Designated animal interaction zones are available for guests to experience farm life.

Safety & Regulations

  • Guests must follow staff instructions when near animals to ensure their safety and the well-being of the animals.
  • Running, shouting, or making sudden movements near animals is discouraged to avoid stress or unexpected reactions.
  • Certain areas may be restricted for animal care and maintenance—entry into these zones is prohibited.

Hygiene & Cleanliness

  • Guests are advised to wash their hands after interacting with animals.
  • Proper disposal of food waste is required to maintain a clean and healthy environment for both guests and animals.

Liability & Damages

  • Thumbaya Resorts is committed to ensuring a safe animal experience; however, guests assume full responsibility for their own safety while interacting with animals.
  • Any damage or injury caused by disregarding guidelines will be the guest’s responsibility.

We invite you to enjoy a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature and our friendly farm animals at Thumbaya Resorts!
