Tamworth Lodge Motel

Tamworth Lodge Motel is a budget motel in South Tamworth that welcomes dogs overnight, generally in designated ground-floor rooms, on the main southern approach into town. It is a simple, dog-permitted stopover rather than a polished stay, and friendly owners are the recurring theme in guest feedback.

Dogs at the Tamworth Lodge Motel

Dogs of any size are allowed, with a pet fee reported around AU$20 per pet, though some guests report paying more. Pets go in designated rooms, usually on the ground floor, and cats may be allowed on request.

Fees and terms shift, so treat those figures as a guide rather than a guarantee and ring the motel directly to confirm the current charge before you book. Pet rooms are limited and are not always bookable through the online channels.

The vibe

Expect the basics done reasonably: family rooms, comfy beds, air conditioning and a welcoming reception. This is value-first accommodation, and the dog policy is a big part of what makes it a sensible Tamworth leg.

Pepsi: call ahead, book the ground-floor pet room by name, and get the fee on the record. The online listings do not agree with each other.

Getting there and parking

The motel sits on Goonoo Goonoo Road in South Tamworth's motel strip, with parking at the door and the town centre a few minutes away by car. The highway in from the south puts it conveniently first for arrivals.

While you're out there

For leg-stretching, George Street Dog Park across town is the dedicated dog option. Dinner is close at The Corner Shack or the eateries in the centre.

If the pet rooms are full, Tamworth City Motel is the other dog-accommodating option on the same road. More beds are on the New South Wales stays guide and the South Tamworth destination page.
