Bobby Three One Oh

A two-bedroom, retro-styled holiday home in Ballarat Central, Bobby Three One Oh takes dogs by prior arrangement, which makes it a self-contained base in the middle of town rather than a fair-weather pick.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement, up to two well-behaved dogs. A small cleaning fee applies through the booking platform. The house rules are clear: dogs are not to be left unattended in the property, and they are kept off the furniture and beds. Arrange the dogs at the time of booking rather than turning up with them.

The place. It is a whole-home rental with an eighties-styling theme, a record player and a full kitchen, so you have your own space and can settle a dog in for a few nights. As a private home, you have the run of it rather than sharing common areas.

Location and nearby. The central setting puts you within reach of the CBD's dog-friendly footpath cafes and the Sturt Street gardens for daily walks, with Lake Wendouree a short drive for a longer loop.

Who it suits. Owners of one or two settled, house-trained dogs who want a private base in town. Confirm the dogs, the count and the fee at booking, and pack a bed or mat since dogs stay off the furniture.

Good for a longer central stay where you want a real house rather than a room.
