The Storekeeper’s House - Self Catering Hosted Accommodation

The Storekeeper's House is a self-catering hosted accommodation in Tatura, a small town in Victoria's Goulburn Valley region. With a five-star rating across 46 reviews, it stands out for dog owners because it permits small to medium, house-trained dogs overnight upon application, making it a rare pet-welcome option in an area with limited dog-friendly stays.

The pet policy. Small to medium, house-trained dogs are allowed upon application, with a maximum of two pets per stay. You will need to advise the breed, age, and size of your dog when applying. Additional fees apply, though the exact amount is not listed publicly, so confirm the fee directly with the host before booking. Pets are not permitted on furniture or beds and are restricted from carpeted areas, which includes the bedrooms. The yard is not fully fenced at the front, so you will need to supervise your dog outside. Owners must clean up all pet waste, and parasite prevention is encouraged.

The place. This is a renovated home with a homely atmosphere, styled with vintage decor and quirky vintage pieces throughout. Guest reviews highlight an elegant interior that blends period character with modern comfort. Features mentioned by previous guests include a fireplace, a large backyard, and comfortable bedding. The property operates on a self-catering basis, giving you flexibility to manage your own meals and routine.

Location and nearby. Tatura sits in the Goulburn Valley region of Victoria, a productive agricultural area known for its dairy, fruit, and irrigation history. The town itself is small and quiet, suited to travellers passing through the region or those seeking a relaxed rural base. Specific dog-friendly venues in the immediate area are not currently listed in the PawScapes directory, so if you plan to explore locally, you will need to research day-trip options independently.

Who it suits. Travellers with well-trained, small to medium dogs who want a character-filled, self-catering base in regional Victoria. The carpeted-area restrictions and unfenced front yard mean it is better suited to dogs that are settled indoors and reliable off-leash or under close supervision outside.

Before you book. Submit your application early and include full details of your dog's breed, age, and size. Confirm the additional pet fee directly with the host before finalising your reservation. Keep your dog off all furniture and beds, and be prepared to restrict them to non-carpeted areas inside. If your dog is a fence-tester or prone to wandering, bring a long line for yard time, as the front boundary is not fully enclosed.
