McKillop Geelong by Gold Star Stays is a self-contained, apartment-style stay in central Geelong. It takes dogs, but on tighter terms than most, so check your dog fits the policy before you book.
The pet policy. Dogs only, no cats. Maximum of two dogs, with a 10kg per-dog weight limit, so this suits small dogs rather than larger breeds. A fee of AUD 45 per pet, per night applies, and pets cannot be left unattended in the rooms. Pets are allowed in designated rooms only, so request a pet-friendly unit when booking. Service animals are exempt from the fee.
The place. Comfortable self-contained units, each with a private balcony or patio for some outdoor access, plus garden, spa services and free Wi-Fi on site.
Location and nearby. Central, with on-site parking. It is roughly an 8-minute walk to South Geelong Station and about 9 minutes to Kardinia Park, a leafy on-leash walking option close by. The waterfront and the CBD dog-friendly cafes are a short drive.
Before you book. Booking sites carry conflicting pet information, so contact the property directly to confirm a pet-friendly room and the current terms. Because dogs cannot be left alone in the room, plan your day around taking them with you.
Suits small dogs and owners who will keep them along for the day. Confirm the room and the 10kg limit before paying.
