The Molong Motor Inn

The Molong Motor Inn is a straightforward motel on the edge of Molong's main street, with dogs and cats welcome on request. It is a practical overnight base if you are travelling the Mitchell Highway corridor between Wellington and Orange with a dog, rather than a destination stay in its own right.

Dogs at the The Molong Motor Inn

Dogs and cats are allowed on request, so make sure your booking is flagged as including a pet before you arrive. Booking platforms list a pet charge of AUD 40 per room per stay, and service animals are exempt from fees. Published size limits are not spelled out, so check with the property directly if you travel with a larger dog. The fee figure varies between sources, with some platforms showing a lower charge, so confirm the exact amount when you book rather than expecting a set number at the desk.

Rooms are motel-style and range from older, dated layouts through to refurbished options, with family rooms available. Guests regularly mention comfortable beds in the refurbished rooms. The main street shops and cafes are an easy walk.

Max: A flag-the-pet-first motel is exactly what a highway day needs. Confirm the room, confirm the fee, sleep, keep driving.

Close by with the dogs

Molong's town parks are on-lead, so a dedicated off-lead run means driving about half an hour towards Orange to Bloomfield Reserve Dog Park, a big open parkland with creeks and a dam for dogs that swim. In town, Sippin Nutrition is a quick coffee stop, and 15 minutes down the road at Borenore, Hillside Harvest is a farm cafe where leashed dogs are welcome around the outdoor areas.

More options are on the New South Wales pet friendly stays guide and the Molong destination page.
