Burnie Ocean View Motel and Caravan Park

Burnie Ocean View Motel and Caravan Park sits on the Bass Highway across from the beach, and takes dogs in its caravan and camping sites by prior arrangement, though not in the motel rooms or cabins.

Dog access and setup. Pets are welcomed on the caravan and camping sites at the rear of the property, not inside the motel rooms or cabins. Always call ahead to confirm a pet-friendly site when you book. Dogs must stay on a lead around the park. Bring your own water bowls and food, as none are supplied.

The place. An older-style motel and caravan park combination with a heated indoor pool, BBQ grills, camp kitchen, laundromat and showers. It sits directly opposite the beach on the Bass Highway.

Known for. Little penguins can often be spotted on the beach across the road in the evenings, and the location is a budget-friendly, convenient stop for anyone travelling the Bass Highway.

Getting there and parking. On the Bass Highway (A1) at 253 Bass Highway, Burnie. Free self-parking is available on-site, including space for caravans.

Nearby with the dogs. West Beach is directly opposite for a walk, the coastal pathway runs nearby for a longer stretch along the water, and Burnie Park is a short drive away with a creek and shaded walking paths.

Best suited to caravanners and campers travelling with dogs rather than anyone wanting a motel room, given the pet policy only covers the powered and camping sites.
