Meet Sarah Orchard

Hi, I’m Sarah Orchard, the breeder, carer, and the person who answers your messages at midnight when you’re worried about your new puppy.

Waterhill Cavoodles is my home-based breeding programme on the Sunshine Coast. Every litter I raise is here in my house, socialised from birth with my own family, and matched to yours with care. I don’t run a facility. I don’t outsource whelping. Every puppy goes home having known only one environment, mine.

I’m a verified RightPaw Outstanding Breeder, which means my practices have been independently assessed against welfare and ethics standards not self-reported.

If you’re bringing a Cavoodle into a Gold Coast home, I want to make sure it’s the right fit for your family before we talk deposits. That’s not a sales script, it’s just how I do things.

Puppy Families Share Their Stories

We recently purchased a puppy from Waterhill Cavoodles. Sarah and Mark were brilliant to deal with every step of the way and very patient with all my questions. It was fantastic to be able to meet and play with both Mum and Dad before we took Harvey home. Both dogs have beautiful temperaments and are clearly much loved and cared for members of their family. Little Harvey has settled in wonderfully and is an absolute delight. I have no hesitation in recommending Waterhill Cavoodles, very professional and it’s evident they love what they do.

Sarah is a well researched, ethical breeder, who is invested in producing high quality puppies using best practice. We love our new girl immensely and are reassured by the extensive dna testing that Sarah carries out, that she will be a healthy happy pup.

I would highly recommend purchasing your fur baby from Waterhill Cavoodles. 🐾🐶 Sarah is a professional, trustworthy and passionate breeder of Cavoodles. Her own dogs have lovely temperaments, and her puppies are gorgeous. Sarah kept us informed and updated on our Maggie’s progress and was always willing to answer any questions we had/still have. I would definitely recommend Waterhill Cavoodles if you are looking for a fur baby! 🐶🐾

I couldn’t recommend Waterhill Cavoodles more highly. Sarah was amazing to deal with- sent us regular photos, videos and updates of our puppy and answered all questions promptly. Professional yet warm and the dogs and pups have such a happy life roaming her farm and enjoying plenty of cuddles! Our beautiful boy Tricki is so healthy, happy and well socialised and has really completed our family. Thank you Sarah!

Sarah was so helpful throughout the whole time we where waiting to get our puppy! Everything was explained clearly and any questions answered! Would definitely recommend her any day of the week!

Sarah is an amazing breeder with so much knowledge. She loves her dogs and takes great care of them. She’s a lovely person and it is evident she has great pride in her program with all the testing she carries out. And the support she provides her families. I have thoroughly enjoyed all our updates of our beautiful little Cove growing. We need more genuine loveing breeders like Sarah.

Puppies come from a beautiful caring family. Highly recommend Waterhill Cavoodles. Thank you for our sweet little girl.

You are welcome to go and see the puppies with their lovely Mummy Frankie who looks so well cared for and happy - all the puppies look healthy and also well looked after, and Sarah is a total delight to deal with from start to finish. We bought our Nugget (who was then Humphrey!) from Waterhill Cavoodles October last year and the shy little Humphrey has morphed into a very naughty Nugget !!!! Jeff and I would have no hesitation in recommending this breeder.

Hi Sarah just thought I’d let you know that Dusty is now a very proud member of our family, she has been a little angel.

I just thought you’d like an update on Wilde. She has settled in well and loves life on the Island. We adore her!Thank you

I purchased a puppy from Waterhill today, and he is incredible! Dealing with Sarah was so easy. I had so many questions I thought I was annoying, but Sarah happily answered everything. You can definitely see the amount of love and effort that she puts into raising these pups, and I'm so thankful that she could help fulfil our dreams of having the perfect little puppy. Thanks Sarah

We could not recommend Sarah and her beautiful pups enough! Sarah is a highly ethical, all in breeder that dedicates so much to her puppies. Sarah was so patient with all our questions and always beyond helpful with her vast amount of knowledge. The love she pours into them is so evident and we are beyond thrilled to welcome our little Pip to our family. The beautiful chaos that is a new pup is so much fun and we are so excited to journey through with Pip and give her a wonderful life. Thank you Sarah for making our dream come true. We are so in love with our little girl

After much research into high quality and ethical Cavoodle breeders, we chose Waterhill. From day one, Sarah was highly responsive and super informative, which made it certain for us that we were in good hands. The property she raises her pups and dogs on is immaculate and it’s evident that the treatment they receive is first class. If you are considering purchasing a Cavoodle, don’t think twice, you will be purchasing from a very passionate breeder. We are now proud parents of Bilby, who is an absolute bundle of joy!

I cant thank you enough. I can tell he has come from a beautiful home. It has been lovely you helping me through an easy purchase process too. And the care pack is amazing x Little Banksia now Toby 'short for Toblerone' is settling in so well surrounds by his new fur friends and his little ladies.

She is a wonderful puppy. We are so grateful that she spent a bit more time with you, she obviously learnt a lot from you. She sleeps through the night in her crate and does not cry at all.She is a very happy puppy and we are lucky to have her.

Gemma cuddled Vic for hours before bedtime, she went into her crage and complained for 15 minutes at most thn slept all night. She is the most precious little puppy ever. Vic's heart has melted and his grieving is being well managed by our Gemma. Honestly we will never be able to thank you enough.

Just thought I’d send you these photos of Franklin. He’s been such a wonderful addition to our family. He had his vet visit and vaccinations yesterday and did really well. He’s now 3.0kg! I promise-he’s not got fat!He’s just about sleeping through the night and is able to take himself out through the doggy door to go to the toilet without prompting or accidents.We just adore him and are so grateful for you and Greta for giving him such a lovely start in life.

We were drawn to Waterhill by the amazing website which showcased your love of your cavoodle pups and caring nature as a breeder.The communication throughout the whole process was excellent, from the initial advice to the frequent pupdates which we looked forward to every couple of days.Charlie (Pumpkin) our puppy is perfect for us. He has done so well adapting to a new environment and his calm, cuddly nature was predicted perfectly by Sarah.Several dog owners were shocked to hear that we had no issues with whining through the night or tantrums when left alone. Definitely thanks to good advice and a good breeder.

Hayley and I honest cant thank you enough. There have been so many moments over the first week where both Hayley and I, as well as our family and friends have commented on his temperament, behaviour and how well he has adapted. We have friends currently that have puppies as well and they have had a much harder time than we have already and we 100% attribute that to your efforts in breeding and raising him. His ability to ease into our family and how well he has behaved with new sights sounds and experiences is incredible. He has been such a welcome addition to the household and we love him so much

Our experience with Waterhill Cavoodles is one that I would recommend to anyone wanting a Cavoodle. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable, no questions went un-answered and communication was so easy. We absolutely loved receiving updates (pupdates) on Lulu regularly and our visit to meet Lulu was organised so easily. Lulu is the perfect puppy for us, she fits in so well with our family and night times have been an absolute breeze with her. She has adjusted really well with different sights and sounds and this comes down to all the love, time and effort you put into the puppies and their parents as a breeder. We can’t thank you enough Sarah. She is so loved and has been the perfect addition to our family.

After months and months of our daughter asking for a dog, we finally caved and agreed. Sarah from Waterhill Cavoodles was recommended to us. Sarah is so easy going, happy to answer questions and has such love for her fur babies. We had a good feeling about Waterhill from the first conversation. When the day came for our daughter to choose her puppy, we couldn’t resist and came away with two. They are so much fun and very loving Cavoodles, we wouldn’t be without them now. Thank you Sarah for the amazing experience. May see you again in the future

Thank you Sarah for our first puppy, Bailey has completed our family. After extensive research over a period of six months I found my self always going back to Waterhill Cavoodles website. From the moment I contacted Sarah she has always been quick to respond in a polite manner with no pressure at all. After closely watching each puppy being sold one by one, leaving Bailey’s the only one left. I knew I had to make the decision so I didn’t miss out. We visited her beautiful cattle property and saw how immaculate the puppy kennels were. I was blown away at how professional and well presented everything was right down to Sarah’s you tube channel and AMAZING puppy pack. We absolutely adore our little man he is the perfect puppy. Thank you Sarah from the bottom of my heart I really appreciate what you did for us

Highly recommend. Fantastic experience working with Sarah. Waterhill puts so much care, knowledge and attention into their puppies and choosing the right families. We were kept up to date with emails and photos each week as our puppy grew and had any questions answered quickly. In preparation for handover we were given all the information and more plus a care packet to get us started. Our puppy is beautiful and we couldn’t be happier!

We are so delighted with our new addition to the household. Sophie is bringing us much joy and we look forward to her having a long and happy life with us. Thank you Sarah from Jean and Ian x

Bringing our new family member home was a dream. Researching Cavoodle breeders was a short process because as soon as I saw Waterhill Cavoodles and the love and time Sarah puts into her puppies it was an easy decision. From the first moment we had our puppy at home, she was a delight and the love she brings our family is endless. She has settled right in with our daily routines without a worry. We loved receiving our daily updates, it was like we were part of our puppies journey right from the beginning. I would recommend Waterhill Cavoodles to anyone. Thank you Sarah

How Could You Say No To That Face?

Raised with Love on the Sunshine Coast, Ready for Your Gold Coast Home

All Waterhill Cavoodle puppies are raised on our Sunshine Coast hinterland property, surrounded by space, sunshine, and plenty of human interaction. From their earliest weeks they are gently socialised and carefully prepared for family life.

Many of our puppy families come from the Gold Coast, and visiting Waterhill to collect your puppy is a special part of the experience. It gives families the chance to see where their puppy has been raised, meet our dogs, and feel confident about the care their puppy has received.

Over the years Waterhill Cavoodles have joined families right across the Gold Coast, including:

• Burleigh Heads
• Robina
• Helensvale
• Southport
• Palm Beach
• Coolangatta

Before bringing your puppy home, many families also find these guides helpful:

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you deliver Cavoodle puppies to the Gold Coast?

We don’t deliver our Cavoodle puppies to the Gold Coast. Instead, we warmly welcome families to collect their puppy in person at Waterhill Cavoodles in Kenilworth on the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Visiting the farm allows you to experience the environment your puppy has been raised in, meet the whole Waterhill doggy family, and feel genuinely confident about where your puppy’s first weeks were spent. For most families it becomes one of the most memorable parts of the whole journey.

Are there many Waterhill Cavoodles living on the Gold Coast?

Yes, quite a few. Over the past couple of years alone, around 50 Waterhill Cavoodles have gone to Gold Coast families, making it one of our most popular locations. Our puppies have joined families across the Gold Coast including Hope Island, Currumbin Waters, Varsity Lakes, Robina, Burleigh Heads, Helensvale, Southport, Palm Beach, and Coolangatta — all within easy reach of our Sunshine Coast hinterland property. There’s a lovely community of Waterhill Cavoodles out there enjoying beach walks, café visits, and family adventures along the coast.

How do Gold Coast families choose their puppy?

Almost all Gold Coast families who choose a Waterhill Cavoodles puppy join our Litterlist — this gives you priority selection from a specific upcoming litter and secures your place with a $500 reservation fee, which is deducted from the final puppy price. Selections are made in Litterlist order when puppies are around six weeks old. At that stage you’re invited to visit Waterhill Cavoodles at our Kenilworth property in person to meet the puppies, their parents, and the wider Waterhill doggy family. In the weeks leading up to selection day you’ll have access to a private online folder with regular photos and videos of the litter, so you arrive already feeling like you know them.

Is the drive from the Gold Coast to Waterhill worth it?

Every family who has made the trip has told us it was absolutely worth it. The drive out through the Sunshine Coast hinterland is genuinely beautiful — winding countryside, stunning mountain views, and peaceful scenery that sets the mood perfectly before you arrive at Waterhill Cavoodles in Kenilworth. When families reach the property they often say how much it means to see it in person: the wide open paddocks, the purpose-built puppy facilities, the horses and cows, and the calm farm atmosphere that shapes every Cavoodle puppy in those early weeks. Many families tell us that seeing where their puppy was raised gives them real confidence and peace of mind — and that the visit made the connection to their puppy feel even more special.

How do I secure a Cavoodle puppy as a Gold Coast family?

We recommend joining our Litterlist, which gives you priority access and earlier puppy selection for a specific upcoming litter at Waterhill Cavoodles. Your place is secured with a $500 reservation fee, which counts toward the final puppy price of $4,500. There’s also a free Standby List for families who’d like to be contacted once Litterlist selections are made. Because our Gold Coast families are typically committed well in advance — joining a litter, paying a deposit, and visiting at six weeks — the process feels relaxed and unhurried. Apply here.
