A Cat-Only Resort, For the Whole Central Coast
Cat Utopia is on 21 Daley Street, Doyalson North, on the northern end of the Central Coast. We’re a short drive from Wyong, Lake Haven, Budgewoi, San Remo, Toukley, and The Entrance, and easy to reach from Gosford, Erina, Terrigal, and the southern coastal suburbs.
We’re not a cattery wing of a kennel. We’re a resort built only for cats, by a founder who’s worked in the pet industry for over 30 years. No dogs on site. No barking. No mixed-species noise carrying through walls. Every Suite was designed around cat physiology, behaviour, and instincts.
If your cat has stayed somewhere that didn’t sit right with them, or you’ve never boarded a cat before and the idea makes you nervous, we’re here to help.
Why Central Coast Cat Owners Choose Us
Cat-only, codified across the product.
Our Cat Chauffeur transport is cat-only. Our Transit Lounge is cat-only. Even the after-hours pick-up cubicles are designed so no cat sees or hears a stranger animal. We don't make exceptions.
Published rates.
All of our prices are listed on our website. A 20% peak surcharge applies from 15 December to 15 January, and 10% across NSW school holidays. Our rates are transparent, they don't change after you enquire.
A caring team, backed by glowing reviews.
Becca, Amanda, Trudie, Tazman, and Mel are regulars in our Google reviews. Two of our Nannies hold veterinary nursing qualifications. Trudie and Mel have both been here over six years.
Local for over 15 years.
The Sweeting Family Trust has run Cat Utopia under ABN 14 062 018 245 since 16 June 2010. We moved from our original Lake Munmorah site to the current Doyalson North site in 2018. Most of our long-stay regulars live within an hour of us.
