Hotel Ernest bills itself as Bendigo's only pet-friendly hotel, and the practical detail that matters is narrow: dogs are accommodated in one specific room, the Ground Floor Accessible and Pet Friendly Suite. If that suite is free, you have a polished hotel base in town; if it is booked, there is no dog room two.
The pet policy. Dogs are allowed overnight, specifically in the Ground Floor Accessible and Pet Friendly Suite. Published information does not list a weight limit or a set pet fee, so confirm both directly when you book, charges may apply. Because access hinges on that single suite, book early and name the dog up front.
The place. A well-regarded hotel (4.8 from guests) with a central Bendigo footing, the ground-floor suite gives easy in-and-out for a dog without stairs or lifts.
Location and nearby. Its central position puts the CBD's footpaths, Rosalind Park and Lake Weeroona's on-lead loop within an easy walk or short drive for daily exercise.
Before you book. Call ahead to lock in the pet suite, confirm any pet fee or deposit, and check whether the dog can be left unattended in the room. Best suited to one well-behaved dog rather than a multi-dog household.
