Tannum on the Beach Motel

Tannum on the Beach Motel is a dog-friendly beachside motel in Tannum Sands, a short step from the sand with sea views, balconies and a pool. Guest reviews describe it as dog friendly with staff who are welcoming about pets.

The pet policy. The motel allows dogs to stay overnight, but the specifics are not spelled out on the main booking platforms. Size limits and any pet fee are not publicly listed, so call the motel directly to confirm before you book, especially if you are bringing a larger dog or more than one.

The place. Rooms come with balconies and sea views, and there are BBQ facilities and a pool on site. Reviewers consistently note how clean it is and how helpful the hosts are.

Location and nearby. The beach and its proximity are the draw. Second Beach, north of the main patrolled beach, has off-leash sand for a run, and Blend Cafe and Junction Cafe on Hampton Drive both take dogs at their outdoor tables.

Before you book. Ring ahead to confirm the pet arrangement, any fee and which rooms take dogs, since none of that is published. Good for a beach-focused stay if you sort the pet details by phone first.
