Mildura Motor Inn

Mildura Motor Inn is a family-run motel at 376 Deakin Avenue, central to Mildura's shopping and dining, that takes dogs in one specific room type. It is a comfortable, well-reviewed base for a Murray River stopover, with spacious quiet rooms, a pool and laundry facilities.

Dogs at the Mildura Motor Inn

Pets stay in the designated Queen Room Pet Friendly only; the Standard, Twin, Family and King rooms are all no-pets. You must select that room type when booking, and management asks that you book directly rather than through a third-party site so the right room is actually allocated. Pet fees and size limits are not published, so ring ahead and confirm both. Dogs and cats are the accepted guests.

Max: book the Queen Room Pet Friendly by name and book it direct. Pick the wrong room type on a portal and you arrive with a dog and a policy that says no.

The vibe

Reviews run consistently warm: comfortable beds, generous rooms, a quiet night's sleep despite the Deakin Avenue address, and owners who make arriving easy. Free on-site parking at the door, free Wi-Fi and a pool round out a straightforward country motel done well.

Getting there and parking

The inn sits on Deakin Avenue, Mildura's main strip, an easy turn-off from the Calder Highway or the Sturt Highway from the east. Parking is free and on-site, steps from the room, which matters when the car has a dog in it. The shopping centre and dining strip are a flat walk.

While you're out there

The Mildura fenced dog park at Rio Vista Park on Hugh King Drive is a short drive for a proper off-lead run beside the Murray, and Bobby + Me is a dog-welcoming coffee stop in town the next morning.
