Somerby! CBD,Pets,Parking,Garden..

Somerby is a self-contained three-bedroom house on Hume Street in South Albury that takes dogs throughout the property, private fenced backyard included. For owners who want the dog beside them rather than shut in one room, the whole-house format and the garden make it one of the more comfortable dog setups in Albury.

Dogs at Somerby

Listings put the dog weight limit at 25 kg, and pets are welcome across the property, including the private garden, so there is grass to stretch legs on without leaving the block. Food and water bowls are provided, and the garden is fenced. Extra-person charges or a pet fee may apply depending on the booking platform and rate, and a refundable damage deposit of up to AUD 1,000 can be required at check-in, so read the rate terms and confirm the pet surcharge before you pay. With only a handful of reviews so far, the listing is still settling in, so a direct message to the host is worth the two minutes.

Max: check whether the $1000 damage deposit is held or just pre-authorised, and ask the host how the pet fee is charged on your rate.

The vibe

It is a character house rather than an apartment: three bedrooms, a full kitchen and a living area, with the fenced grassy backyard doing the heavy lifting for dog owners. Free off-street parking at the house covers the car. The five-star reviews it has picked up so far are early numbers on a small sample, but they centre on the space and the garden.

Getting there and parking

The house sits at 445 Hume Street in South Albury, a level walk or two-minute drive from the Albury CBD, so Dean Street's shops and the train station are close without crossing the city. Parking is on-site and private, which means unloading the dog straight into the yard.

While you're out there

The Murray River runs along the bottom of South Albury, and Oddies Creek Leash Free Area is the designated off-leash run next to the river, wired into the shared path network. For coffee, Meraki Kitchen and Ebden & Olive Cafe are both in the suburb. If the house is booked, Hume Inn Motel Albury is the nearby motel option.

More beds on the border are in the NSW stays guide, and the South Albury destination page rounds up the suburb.
