Quest Bundoora

Quest Bundoora is an apartment-style hotel that takes dogs, which makes it a workable base near La Trobe University and the Polaris precinct. Rooms run from studios to two-bedroom apartments, so there is space for a longer stay with the dog rather than a cramped overnight.

Dogs at Quest Bundoora

Dogs up to 20kg are allowed overnight in specific rooms only, with a pet fee of around AU$295 per stay reported by booking listings. Contact the property directly to confirm a pet-friendly room is free for your dates, and confirm the current fee at the same time, since pet terms change. Dogs cannot be left unattended in the room, and food and water bowls are provided, which trims the packing list.

The apartments

Apartments come with kitchen facilities, and reviewers point at welcoming staff, modern rooms and comfortable beds. Two-bedroom layouts suit families or longer stays, and a conference room makes it functional for work trips. Walking distance to cafes and a gym covers the mornings.

Getting there and parking

The hotel sits in Bundoora's northern corridor with the Polaris Town Centre close by, and on-site parking means no circling for a spot with a dog in the car. The 86 tram along Plenty Road is the public-transport link toward the CBD.

Close by with the dogs

For an off-lead run, the fenced Bundoora Park dog park and the Norris Bank Reserve fenced dog park are both short drives. Vorea Polaris in the Polaris Town Centre welcomes dogs at its outdoor tables for breakfast.

More stays are listed on the Victoria dog friendly accommodation guide and the Bundoora destination page.

Max: the 20kg cap and the fee are the two things to confirm by phone before you book, and plan a walk before you leave, because the dog cannot wait alone in the room.
