Mount Gravatt Motel

Mount Gravatt Motel is a budget, no-frills motel on Logan Road in Upper Mount Gravatt, and one of the more straightforward pet-friendly stays on Brisbane's southside. It is the kind of place you book for a night on your way through rather than a destination stay, but it does take dogs and sits close to the M1 and Logan Road for easy access.

The pet policy

The motel's own listing shows pets as allowed, but it is on request rather than automatic, so let them know when you book. Reviewers describe dogs being placed in specific rooms set aside for guests travelling with pets. A pet fee may apply, so confirm the cost and any weight or breed conditions directly with reception on 07 3349 6626 before you arrive. Bring your own water bowl and bedding, since no listing confirms in-room pet amenities.

The place

It is a genuinely budget option in a central location, with friendly staff and quiet, tidy, well-equipped rooms mentioned repeatedly in reviews. Rooms come with kitchenettes, and there are outdoor seating and BBQ facilities on site. It is close to Westfield Garden City and the restaurants around it, which makes it a convenient base even though it is not a flashy stay.

Location & nearby

The motel is on Logan Road with free private on-site parking and no need to book a space in advance, and access is straightforward off the Logan Road service road. The surrounding streets are reasonable for a leash walk, and there are suburban parks scattered through Mount Gravatt and Upper Mount Gravatt within a short drive, including the Abbeville Street Park Fenced Dog Park. Dogs are not allowed inside Westfield Garden City, but the perimeter footpaths get some casual dog-walking traffic.

Before you book

Confirm the pet fee, any size limits and which rooms are pet-friendly directly with the motel by phone, since online listings are not fully consistent on the details. Good for a functional overnight stop with a dog rather than a long stay.
