Allora House Kalgoorlie

Allora House is a heritage-listed guesthouse at 72 Dugan Street in Kalgoorlie, and one of the Goldfields' better-reviewed stays. It takes pets by prior arrangement, but with a firm catch that shapes the whole booking: dogs are outside pets only, kept to outdoor areas rather than the heritage interior.

Dogs at Allora House

Anything canine has to be sorted with the hosts before you book. Listings describe pets as outside only, which means your dog stays in outdoor or designated areas while you sleep inside the heritage rooms. No size limit or pet fee is published, so put both questions to the hosts directly, especially with a large dog, and ask exactly which outdoor area the dog would use, whether it has shelter, and what happens in Kalgoorlie's summer heat or a cold Goldfields night. Booking platforms show a blanket no-pets notice, so the arrangement exists only through direct contact with the hosts. This setup suits a calm, settled dog rather than one that barks when left.

Max: outside pets only, by arrangement, in a heritage house. If your dog sleeps in a kennel happily, this works; if it sleeps on your bed, book elsewhere.

The place itself

Guests rate Allora House highly for its hosts, comfortable beds and quiet, cosy rooms in a gorgeous period house, with shared bathrooms in parts of the property and air-conditioning throughout. It reads as a character guesthouse rather than a motel, and the heritage fabric is exactly why the pet rules are drawn tightly around the indoors.

Getting there and nearby

Dugan Street puts you a short drive from the Hannan Street strip, where Oil and Spice Cafe and Restaurant covers coffee and meals and Paddys Eat and Drink is the local eating institution. Green space for a proper walk is easy to find around town.
