Victoria House Motor Inn

Victoria House Motor Inn is a Croydon motel with old-world Victorian styling that accepts dogs on a case-by-case basis. It can suit travellers with a small dog, provided you arrange the stay directly rather than assuming pets are guaranteed.

The pet policy. Dogs are allowed overnight but not on every booking, so you must contact the property directly to arrange it. The policy generally permits small dogs up to around 10kg, one dog per booking, in specific rooms only, and pets must be supervised. Expect a fee of about AUD 50 per pet per night plus a refundable deposit of around AUD 299 per stay. Only dogs are accepted. Confirm all of this at the time of booking, as terms can change.

The place. The motel is known for spacious, comfortable rooms with a homely, period feel, some with balconies, and reviewers single out the friendly owners.

Location and nearby. It sits in Croydon, handy to the town centre and a short drive from several council off-leash reserves for a walk, including Eastfield Fenced Dog Park.

Who it suits. Best for travellers with one well-behaved small dog who can book ahead and confirm a pet-friendly room. Not suited to larger dogs or multi-dog households given the size limit and one-dog rule.
