Stay with Bernie.

Stay with Bernie is a pet-friendly holiday home in Traralgon, a residential-style rental close to the train station. It suits travellers passing through Gippsland who want a whole house with a yard for the dog rather than a motel room, with free private parking and air conditioning on the list of basics.

Dogs at Stay with Bernie

Dogs are welcomed, but public policy detail is light: fees, size or number limits, and whether a dog can be left alone on the property are not spelled out in the listings. Treat all of it as confirm-on-booking. Message the host before you lock in dates to check pets are approved for your stay, what the fee is, how many dogs are allowed, and the house rules. As with most holiday homes, expect to clean up after your dog and keep it under control inside. Bring your own bedding and bowls.

Worth knowing

The house sits near Traralgon train station, a short distance from the town centre, so mornings and evenings can be done on foot: dog-friendly cafe footpaths in town, and a proper off-leash run a short drive away. The setup is practical rather than resort-style, which is the trade for having a whole house and yard.

Getting there and parking

The property is close to Traralgon station on the Gippsland line, about two hours east of Melbourne by train or car. Free private parking is on site, so arriving with a car and a crated dog is straightforward.

Close by with the dogs

The Traralgon Dog Park is the obvious exercise stop, and Gloria Jean's Traralgon covers coffee in town. If the house is booked out, the BIG4 Traralgon Park Lane Holiday Park is a pet-friendly alternative with cabins and sites.
