If you would like to proceed with booking or checking availability
Mt Remarkable Hotel Motel is the classic country pub in the middle of Melrose, right at the base of Mount Remarkable and a natural stop for hikers and dirt bikers working the Southern Flinders Ranges. Dogs are welcome on the verandah for a meal, and pet-friendly motel rooms exist but are limited, so book with a call, not just online.
The pet policy. The hotel offers specific pet-friendly rooms for overnight stays, but numbers are limited and not all rooms take dogs. Call ahead (08 8666 2119) or flag it in the booking's special requests before you commit, especially in peak hiking and biking season. Pet fees vary and can include a deposit or a non-refundable charge, and while breed or size limits aren't published, expect a cap on how many dogs one room can take. Confirm the details at booking.
Dog access. Outside of the room itself, dogs are welcome on the verandah for alfresco dining, on leash and under control. It's a relaxed, rustic pub environment, but water bowls aren't guaranteed, so bring your own.
Getting there. The hotel sits on Stuart Street, the main thoroughfare through Melrose, with free street parking right out front.
Nearby with the dogs. Melrose's walking trails start almost from the front door, and several cafes in town have dog-friendly outdoor seating. Jacka Brothers Brewery nearby also allows dogs in its outdoor area if the pub's full.

When to go. Book rooms well ahead if you're travelling with a dog, this is a small, popular pub and pet rooms go first. A meal on the verandah is a safe bet any time, even if the room isn't confirmed.
