Country Home Motor Inn

Country Home Motor Inn is a pet-friendly motel in Shepparton that takes dogs overnight on request, which makes it a practical base if you're travelling through the Goulburn Valley with the dog.

The pet policy. Pets are allowed on request and subject to availability, with a fee around AUD 35 per pet per day that can vary by length of stay. Pets stay in designated rooms. No specific weight or size limit is published, so call ahead on (03) 5821 7711 to confirm a pet room and the current fee before you book.

The place. A standard motel with a swimming pool and a helpful host. Reviewers rate the comfortable, clean rooms, electric blankets, and fresh towels, while noting some rooms feel dated.

Who it suits. Dog owners after a straightforward, affordable overnight stop rather than a feature stay. Good for an en-route night or a short visit.

Before you book. Confirm pet availability, the per-night fee, and which rooms take dogs at the time of booking, and ask about leaving a dog unattended in the room, as motels often restrict this.
