StayCentral

StayCentral runs serviced apartments across central Melbourne, and dogs are allowed in selected properties on a strictly-by-arrangement basis. This is an apartment stay rather than a hotel, so pet acceptance depends on the specific building you book.

The pet policy. Pets must be declared at the time of booking, with an extra charge reported at around AU$150 per stay. Dog-friendly options are at specific properties, such as Little Collins and Oasis on Mackenzie in the CBD, rather than across the whole portfolio. Size limits are not publicly listed, so confirm your dog is accepted at the property you want.

The place. These are self-contained apartments, which gives you a kitchen and laundry and more room than a hotel suite, useful for a longer stay with a dog.

Location and nearby. The pet-friendly properties sit in the CBD, walkable to city green space and the riverside for on-leash walks, with trams across the centre.

Before you book. Declare the dog up front, confirm the specific apartment accepts pets for your dates, and check the per-stay charge and any conditions. Do not assume a StayCentral booking is pet-friendly by default, since only some properties are.
