MainStay Suites Abbotsford

MainStay Suites Abbotsford is a serviced-apartment stay in inner Melbourne that accepts dogs overnight. If you want an apartment-style base close to the city with your dog along, it is a workable option - just budget for a firm pet fee.

The pet policy. Dogs are allowed, with a non-refundable pet fee of AUD 350 per pet, per stay. Service animals are welcome and exempt from the fee. The listing does not spell out size limits, so if you are travelling with a large dog, confirm directly before booking rather than assuming.

The place. Serviced apartments in the style of the area's other apartment-hotels, which typically means a kitchenette and separate living space - useful room for a dog to settle rather than a single hotel room.

Location and nearby. Abbotsford puts you close to the Yarra and its off-leash reserves, including the fenced oval at Victoria Park, plus dog-friendly beer gardens and footpath cafes along Victoria and Johnston Streets for an easy day out.

Before you book. Confirm the current pet fee, any size or breed conditions, and which apartments take dogs, as these details can shift and were not fully itemised. Ask about ground-floor access if your dog needs frequent outdoor breaks.
