Mid City Motor Inn

Mid City Motor Inn is a budget motor inn on Goondoon Street in the middle of Gladstone, the port city at the bottom of Curtis Island. Its pitch is location: the marina, the CBD and the industrial estates are all minutes away, which suits tradies on plant shutdowns, travellers waiting on the Curtis Island ferry, and road-trippers who want the city conveniences without the price tag. Guests single out the comfy beds, the pool for the summer heat and the quiet of the rooms despite the central position.

Per the motel's own accommodation page, a designated pet friendly room is offered, configured with a queen bed plus a single bed. Guest feedback confirms pets including cats have been accommodated, and aggregator listings note pets allowed on request with charges that may apply, reported at around twenty dollars per stay.

Two practical notes from guests who travel here with dogs: ask for a room off the Goondoon Street frontage, since early-morning industrial traffic starts the day noisily on the road side. Pack your own pet basics, bowls included, because the pet setup is bring-your-own, and the shared kitchen and BBQ area is handy for feeding schedules while the dog waits in the room.

Worth knowing

Goondoon Street puts you within walking distance of Gladstone's eateries and the marina precinct. For the dog, the challenge is that central Gladstone is roads and industry, so plan the walks: the marina foreshore paths on leash, and a short drive south for the real green space. If your itinerary is ferry-and-Curtis-Island focused, the location is hard to beat for the price bracket.

Close by with the dogs

South of the city, Calliope Caravan Park is the pet-friendly alternative base up the Calliope River, with Bunting Park alongside for the morning walk. Further south again, the dog beach at Tannum Sands is the region's proper dog swim. Find more dog friendly stays across Queensland.
