Albury Classic Motor Inn

The Albury Classic Motor Inn is a low-slung motel on Wagga Road in Lavington that takes dogs in designated pet-friendly rooms, which makes it one of the more dependable beds for a Hume Highway stopover with the dog aboard. Parking is at the door and the format is straightforward: unload, walk the dog, settle in.

Dogs at the Albury Classic Motor Inn

Dogs of any size are welcome, with a limit of two pets per room, in the designated pet-friendly rooms only. Expect a pet fee of around AU$20 per pet per night, though it is worth confirming the current charge when you book because third-party listings can lag. House rules ask that dogs are well behaved, quiet overnight and cleaned up after, which is standard motel practice rather than a special hurdle.

Worth knowing

Some pet-friendly rooms sit upstairs, so if your dog is older, big, or unhappy with external stairs, ask about ground-floor availability at booking rather than at check-in. Rooms run to comfortable beds, kitchenettes and reverse-cycle air conditioning; reviewers regularly note friendly management and clean linen, with some rooms feeling more dated than others and bathrooms having been modernised in places. There is an outdoor pool, guest laundry and free Wi-Fi.

Getting there and parking

The motel is at 404 Wagga Road, Lavington, on Albury's northern side, an easy turn-off from the Hume and a short drive from central Albury and the Murray River. Free parking sits right outside the rooms, so late arrivals with a tired dog have nothing to negotiate.

While you're out there

For a proper run the next morning, Logan Road Park in North Albury is a fenced dog park a few minutes away. Coffee options with dogs include Green Zebra and House of Ivy in central Albury, both an easy drive from the motel.
