Wyndham Hotel Surfers Paradise

Club Wyndham Surfers Paradise (at 3018 Surfers Paradise Boulevard, formerly listed as Wyndham Hotel) takes dogs through its Dogs on Holidays program, but only in a single designated apartment, so this one needs booking well ahead.

The pet policy. Just one designated apartment at the resort is set up for dog-friendly stays, with a 12kg weight limit. A fee of AU$30 per night applies, with a minimum of AU$90 for one or two-night stays. Dogs must be up to date with flea and worm treatment, and prior arrangements are required, so book early and confirm directly.

The place. It is an apartment-style resort with ocean and hinterland views, a pool, a barbecue area and tram access nearby. Apartments suit longer stays, with self-catering and separate living space.

Location and nearby. The G:link tram is within reach for getting around central Surfers Paradise and along the coast without driving. The main beach and esplanade walks are nearby, so check council signage for on-leash rules and times.

Before you book. Because only one apartment qualifies, confirm availability for your dates as early as possible. Check the 12kg limit, the per-night and minimum fees, the flea and worm requirement and whether dogs can be left unattended in the apartment.

A good fit for travellers with a smaller dog who want an apartment base and can secure the single pet-friendly unit ahead of time.
