Motel Lodge is a budget motel on Gladstone Road in Allenstown, a short drive from Rockhampton city centre. It advertises pet-friendly Twin Bed rooms, though listings on this one are mixed, so a phone call before booking is worth the two minutes.
Dog access and setup. Dogs are permitted in designated Pet-friendly Twin Bed Rooms, each with a queen bed, a single bed, a fridge, microwave and kettle. Small to medium dogs suit these rooms best. Some third-party booking sites list the property as pets-not-allowed while the property's own booking channel lists pet-friendly rooms, so confirm directly with the motel before you book rather than relying on the OTA you're browsing. Nightly or weekly pet fees may apply and are not published, so ask at the time of booking. Bring your own water bowl and bedding.

Known for. Guests rate it for value and a convenient position on the main road through Allenstown, close to shops and services, with an outdoor pool on site.
Getting there and parking. It sits directly on Gladstone Road (the Bruce Highway), easy to reach from either direction through Rockhampton. Free self-parking is on site but limited, so arrive early if the motel is busy.
Nearby with the dogs. Rockhampton Botanic Gardens is about three minutes' drive and has leashed walking paths (dogs aren't permitted in the attached zoo). The Fitzroy River riverfront is around five minutes away for a leashed walk, and Allenstown Shopping Centre is an eight-minute walk for supplies.
Worth a stop for a straightforward, affordable overnight through Rockhampton, but confirm the pet-friendly room and any fee when you book.
