The Best Dog-Friendly Hotels, B&Bs and Self-Contained Getaways in Victoria

Holidays are only half the fun when you have to leave your best friend behind. But that problem is now a thing of the past: there’s a whole new world of pet-friendly accommodation throughout Victoria where you and your pooch can both feel welcome. Whatever holiday you have planned, there are boutique city stays, swish little eco-cabins, historic country cottages and seaside luxury escapes to fulfil your travel yearning – with the pup in tow.

And these pet-friendly accommodations in Victoria offer more than just a kennel out back. Expect a range of Fido-loving special features, like in-room pet menus, goodie bags, private gardens and even dedicated pup-sitting staff. Whether you’re exploring East Gippsland, the Great Ocean Road, Mornington Peninsula, the Macedon Ranges, the Dandenongs or striking out along the Murray River

, you can find warm, pet-friendly hospitality waiting.

Mention the Ovolo and watch your pooch prick up their ears – it’s all about the perks, baby. You’ve heard of the renowned Ovolo service, but you might not know they offer a V.I.Pooch package to ensure your doggo has the same special treatment.
