What visitors mention
Pet policy
Yes. Yongala Lodge by The Strand allows dogs to stay overnight, but guests must specifically book designated dog-friendly rooms. Here are the key details of the pet policy: - Rooms: Dogs are only permitted in specific rooms designated as dog-friendly. You must check availability with the lodge prior to booking. - Fees: An extra charge of AUD 30 per night, per dog applies. - Size Limits: While there is no widely published size limit, you must get approval from the property and ensure a designated room is available for your dates. To check availability and secure one of these pet-friendly rooms,
Yongala Lodge by The Strand is a historic-building stay in North Ward, walking distance to the Strand beachfront and its cafes. It takes dogs overnight, but only in specific designated rooms, so the booking step matters more here than usual.
The pet policy. Dogs are allowed only in rooms designated dog-friendly, and you need to confirm one is available for your dates before booking. The fee is AUD 30 per night, per dog. There is no widely published weight limit, but the property approves pets case by case, so flag your dog when you enquire. Confirm the current policy at booking, as room allocations and fees can change.
The place. Units sit in a heritage building with a laundry and a kids water park on site. Reviews call the rooms comfortable if a little dated, and the value is in the location rather than luxury fit-out.
Location and nearby. The main draw is the position: a short walk to The Strand promenade for seaside dog walks, and close to North Ward cafes, several of which take dogs in their outdoor areas.
Before you book. Ring ahead to lock in a dog-friendly room, confirm the per-dog fee, and check whether your dog can be left in the room unattended, which most stays restrict.
