112 OLIVE APARTMENTS

112 Olive Apartments is a small, modern apartment stay a few streets back from the Mildura riverfront, and it takes dogs without the usual friction. Pets of any size are welcome, cats too, food and water bowls are set out in the room, and the fee is a modest one per pet per stay rather than a nightly surcharge. For travellers crossing the Mallee with a dog in the back seat, that combination of secure self contained lodging and easy policy is exactly what you want at the end of a long drive.

Dogs at 112 Olive Apartments

Pets stay in designated rooms, so mention your dog when you book rather than assuming any apartment will do. Each pet attracts a low fee for the stay, with service animals exempt, and hosts ask that you flag the pet at booking so a suitable room is held. Bowls are provided on arrival, which is one less thing to pack. The apartments themselves are modern and self contained, with a full kitchen, air conditioning and comfortable beds, so a week-long stay works as well as an overnight stop.

The outdoor setup is the real draw for dog owners. Each apartment opens onto its own private courtyard with a secure yard, giving your dog a safe place to stretch out off lead while you cook or sit outside with a coffee. Entry is keyless via a keypad, so late arrivals from the highway are no problem, and there is secure parking on site.

The vibe

Guests consistently rate the apartments highly for cleanliness and comfort, and reviews regularly mention the pet friendly setup alongside the quiet location. You are within walking distance of Mildura's central shopping strip, the riverfront and the wharf precinct, so morning and evening walks along the Murray are built into the stay.

Getting there and parking

The apartments sit on Olive Avenue in central Mildura, a short walk from Langtree Avenue's dining strip and the river. Coming in on the Calder Highway or from the Sturt Highway side, follow signs to the city centre and you are a few minutes away. Off street parking is included, which matters if you are towing or driving a loaded 4WD.

Make a day of it

When your dog needs a proper run, the Rio Vista fenced dog park is a short drive away, and the Murray riverfront track suits an easy leash walk any time of day. For breakfast or brunch, Bobby + Me and Shippys Cafe both welcome dogs in their outdoor areas, and after a day out you can settle in at Enjoywine Chargrill & Bar with the dog at your feet. If your crew is bigger or you prefer a park-style base, the NRMA Mildura Riverside Holiday Park sits right on the river with its own dog facilities.

Confirm a pet friendly room for your dates before booking, as designated rooms are limited. More dog friendly stays are listed on our Victoria stays guide and the Mildura destination page.
