Cabarita Lodge

Cabarita Lodge is a rural bed and breakfast on five acres at 107 Dyar Avenue, Cabarita, a short drive south of Mildura on the Murray River. Dogs stay inside the guest rooms here, which puts it ahead of most rural stays that relegate pets to the laundry, and it caters to everything from B&B guests to campers and even travellers with horses.

Dogs at Cabarita Lodge

House-trained dogs are welcome inside the B&B queen rooms and the two-bedroom self-contained cottage, and a fully secure yard is available on site for off-lead time. Expect a pet fee of around $50 per pet per stay based on booking platform listings, though it can vary by room, so confirm the figure when you book. Mention your dog at booking so the lodge can allocate the right room. Outdoors, keep an eye on your dog around the property's resident animals, and check the current outdoor rules with the host. Travelling with something bigger than a dog, including horses, is genuinely an option here: paddocks and stables are available.

Max: A pet-friendly B&B where the dog sleeps in the room and gets a secure yard is the good end of country accommodation. Just confirm the fee when you book.

The place

Accommodation spans B&B queen rooms, the two-bedroom self-contained cottage, a gypsy wagon, and powered camping sites, so mixed groups can stay under one booking. Breakfast comes with the B&B rooms, and the hosts can arrange evening meals or lunches. Guests consistently call the rooms spotless and the beds comfortable, and the staff get repeated praise for accommodating dogs without fuss.

Close by with the dogs

The Kendall Reserve Fenced Dog Park is the local off-lead run. Mildura's riverfront walking tracks and dog-welcoming cafes are a short drive away. If the lodge is full, 112 Olive Apartments and Sunraysia Resort both take dogs in Mildura. More options are on the VIC stays page and the Cabarita guide.

Mention your dog when booking, confirm the fee and the outdoor rules for the yard, and check which room types can take a larger dog.
