Hobart Colonial Apartment

Hobart Colonial Apartment is a self-contained apartment on Melville Street, right in the Hobart CBD, and it is generally listed as dog-friendly across booking platforms. The catch is that the published pet detail is thin, so this is a place to confirm terms directly with the host rather than assume them.

Dogs at the apartment

Pets are generally permitted, and as a whole-apartment booking your dog stays in the unit with you rather than being shut out to a kennel arrangement. What is not published is the fine print: size or breed limits, any pet fee, and conditions for your specific dates all need to be confirmed at booking. Get the agreement in writing, and bring your own dog bed, bowls and waste bags, since pet amenities are not provided.

The vibe

This is apartment-style self-catering, so you get your own kitchen and space instead of hotel service, which suits travellers using Hobart as a working base with the dog in tow. Set expectations before you book: guest feedback is mixed, with some mentioning cleanliness and noise, so read recent reviews and go in with your eyes open.

Getting there and parking

The apartment is at 2/171 Melville Street, walking distance from the CBD, the waterfront and the mall. Street parking around Melville Street is metered, so check whether the property offers a dedicated spot before arriving with a dog and luggage in the boot.

While you're out there

The Queens Domain is a short drive for open green space, and the Hobart Rivulet Park path is an easy on-lead walk from the city end. Brewwich is a cafe option close to the CBD. If you would rather a cottage-style stay, Milkmans Cottage is another Hobart option. Compare more pet friendly stays in Tasmania or browse Hobart.
