Punthill Parramatta

Punthill Parramatta is a serviced-apartment hotel on George Street in the Parramatta CBD that accepts dogs in select apartments, which makes it a practical base for anyone needing a self-contained stay with a dog in Sydney's second CBD. Rooms run from studios to multi-bedroom apartments, all fully furnished with kitchens and in-room laundry, which is genuinely useful for washing dog bedding and storing supplies.

Dogs at Punthill

Dogs are allowed in nominated pet-friendly apartments on approval, not across every room. You must contact the property directly to confirm and to get their pet policy and agreement, and a non-refundable cleaning fee applies; a figure of around AU$250 per stay has circulated in guest reports, but treat that as indicative only and confirm the current amount at booking. Restricted or prohibited breeds are not accepted, and guests are asked not to leave dogs unattended in rooms for long stretches.

The place

It is a modern apartment hotel with a lobby bar and cafe, free Wi-Fi and 24-hour reception. Studios suit a solo traveller with one dog; the multi-bedroom layouts work for families. Guest feedback points to the light rail access, balconies and the walkability of the neighbourhood for dinner options.

Getting there and parking

The position is central Parramatta, a short walk from the transport interchange with the light rail running close by. Secure on-site parking is available but limited, so book a car space with your room rather than assuming one.

Close by with the dogs

Parramatta Park is a short walk for wide open on-lead walking, and the People's Loop Trail makes an easy morning circuit. For coffee and brunch, homage specialty coffee and Social Hideout are both nearby. Browse more dog friendly stays in NSW or the Parramatta destination guide.

Max: Ring ahead and get the pet-friendly apartment confirmed in writing before you pay. Approval is not implied by the listing, and the cleaning fee is non-refundable, so a cancelled pet booking still costs you.
