Tramway Motel

The Tramway Motel is a small, cottage-style motel at 110 Broad Street in Sarina, a short walk from the town centre, and it takes dogs overnight, which makes it one of the practical beds for travellers pushing up or down the Bruce Highway with a pet.

Dogs at the Tramway Motel

Dogs are welcome and a pet fee applies, charged per pet with a cap of two. Pets are accommodated in specific rooms, generally ground-floor units, so ask for one when you book rather than arriving and hoping.

Bring your own bedding: dogs stay off the beds, furniture and carpets. Size limits and the number of pets per room are not published, so confirm the current terms directly with the motel before you arrive.

The vibe

Expect the basics done well: reviewers point at spotlessly clean rooms, good showers, comfortable beds and helpful owners, with a pool and BBQ facilities on site. It is a straightforward, well-run motel rather than a resort, which is exactly what an overnight leg wants.

Pepsi: ring ahead and lock a ground-floor pet room. The grassed spots outside the units make the evening leg stretch easy.

Getting there and parking

The motel sits on Broad Street in the Sarina town grid, just off the highway, with off-street parking at the door. Cafes, the pub and the supermarket are all within a short walk.

While you're out there

For an off-lead run, Apex Park Off-Leash Dog Park is the town option, with Sarina Beach Off Leash Dog Area a short drive east. Dinner is easy at Roots Collective Cafe or the Tandara Hotel.

If you are towing instead, Sarina Palms Caravan Village is the caravan alternative in town. More beds are on the Queensland stays guide and the Sarina destination page.
