Motel Northview

Motel Northview is a family-owned motel in Mackay with a reputation for being genuinely accommodating to dogs, including larger ones and multiple dogs in a room.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcome, with large dogs permitted and a maximum of three dogs per room. An additional charge applies, reported as around $20 to $30 per pet per night depending on the listing. Standard motel rules apply, so keep dogs off the furniture and clean up after them.

The place. A tidy, family-run motel with clean, comfortable rooms and quiet surrounds, well reviewed for hospitality.

Who it suits. A strong pick for owners travelling with more than one dog, or a bigger dog, who need somewhere straightforward rather than a resort. Families running a household of dogs get more room here than at weight-capped motels.

Before you book. Confirm the current per-pet nightly fee, since the reported figures vary, and mention how many dogs you're bringing. Bring your own bedding and bowls.
