Hume Inn Motel Albury

The Hume Inn Motel is a straightforward pet-friendly motel at 406 Wodonga Place in South Albury, within walking distance of the Murray River parklands. Dogs of any size are accepted in designated pet-friendly rooms at a published fee, which makes it one of the more transparent river-town options for a stopover with the dog.

Dogs at the Hume Inn

The policy is unusually clear for a motel: dogs of any size are welcome, cats are considered on request, and the fee is AU$30 per pet per night, with a maximum of two pets per room. Pets are subject to availability of the designated pet-friendly rooms, so book the dog in advance rather than on arrival. Some pet rooms have a small enclosed courtyard so the dog can step straight outside. Rules to note: pets must be housebroken and attended at all times, an undeclared pet found in a room is charged at AU$60 per night per pet, and the pool area is off limits to pets.

The motel itself

Guests rate the comfortable beds, tidy rooms and helpful desk staff, and there is a pool for the humans. It is a conventional country motel, not a resort, which is exactly the point for travellers who want a clean, walkable overnight between Melbourne and Sydney or the Riverina runs.

Walking from the door

The position is the quiet win. A park sits across the road for quick relief stops, and the Oddies Creek leash-free area on the Murray is the proper off-lead outing, with river access for a splash and dog agility gear under shade trees. The connecting river paths toward the Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk are on-lead, so clip the lead back on when you leave the off-leash zone.

Close by

South Albury's cafe strip is minutes away, including Ebden & Olive Cafe for a morning coffee stop. If you are comparing pet-friendly beds in the same suburb, Somerby is the other South Albury stay that advertises pets.
