The Reserve Hotel

The Reserve Hotel is a comfortable pub-stay in Sale with spacious, well-kept rooms, and it takes dogs overnight in designated rooms. That makes it a solid mid-range base for a Gippsland trip when you would rather have a proper room than a caravan site.

The pet policy. Dogs are allowed in specific pet-friendly rooms, generally up to two dogs and, going by listings, without a strict size limit. A pet fee applies, cited at roughly AU$20 to $30 per pet, though it may vary with length of stay. Dogs must be supervised and typically cannot be left alone in the room. Book direct and confirm a pet-friendly room is available, since these rooms are limited.

The place. Rooms are described as spacious and comfortable with new bathrooms, and the venue runs to pool tables, an arcade and complimentary snacks, so there is more on site than a standard motel.

Location and nearby. You are close to central Sale, within reach of the Raymond Street cafes with footpath seating, plus Lake Guthridge and the Port of Sale for walks.

Who it suits. Travellers wanting a comfortable room and a dog that settles quietly, given the no-unattended-dogs rule.

Before you book. Confirm the exact pet fee, room availability and the supervision rules directly with the hotel, and bring your own bed and bowls.
