Kiama Inn Hotel

The Kiama Inn Hotel, known locally as Tory's, is a pub with accommodation in central Kiama. It markets itself as dog-friendly, with a dog-friendly beer garden and pet accommodation available on application, so a dog can join you for both a meal and a stay if you arrange it ahead.

The pet policy. Pet-friendly rooms are offered on application rather than as a standard booking, so they are not guaranteed and must be requested and confirmed in advance. Fees, weight limits and breed rules are not publicly listed and need to be confirmed directly with the hotel at booking. The beer garden is dog-friendly, which makes the pub side easy even if you are not staying. Because pub-stay policies shift, confirm the current terms when you book.

The place. A traditional pub with a kitchen, cold beer and a family-friendly feel, with accommodation upstairs. Reviews note friendly, welcoming staff, alongside the usual pub caveats around busy-period wait times.

Location and nearby. Central Kiama, within easy walking distance of the town centre, the harbour and the coastal walk. Check council signage for on-lead and off-lead beach times nearby.

Who it suits. Travellers who want a no-frills pub stay in the middle of town and value being able to take the dog into the beer garden.

Before you book. Apply for a pet room early and get the fee, size limit and any conditions confirmed in writing, since availability is limited and granted case by case.
