City Park Motel & Apartments

City Park Motel and Apartments is a central Wagga Wagga motel that runs designated pet-friendly rooms, one of the few places in town where the policy is written down plainly rather than arranged case by case. For travellers passing through the Riverina with a small-to-medium dog, it is the dependable CBD option.

Dogs at the motel

The published policy allows up to two dogs under 15kg each in designated pet rooms, at $40 per pet per night. Only dogs are accepted, and they must be fully vaccinated, with puppies not accepted. Pets cannot be left unattended in the room or in a vehicle on the property at any time, so plan your day around the dog or use the local dog parks and pet-friendly cafes. Pet rooms cannot be booked online: call the motel on 02 6921 4301 to secure one and confirm the current fee for your dates.

The place

Reviewers consistently note the comfortable beds, quiet and spacious rooms, and friendly staff, with the general tone being a well-run country motel rather than a resort. In-room extras like microwaves make short stays easy, and the central position means you are not trekking across town after a long drive. The rating sits around 3.7, which reflects a straightforward, practical property that gets the fundamentals right.

Getting there and out with the dog

The motel sits in the Wagga Wagga CBD, so cafes and shops are walkable and parking is on site. For proper exercise, the Narrung Street fenced dog park gives a secure off-lead run, and Chaston Pet Hub is the town's purpose-built dog space. Wagga Beach and the Murrumbidgee riverwalk are a short drive for a longer on-leash outing.

Close by with the dogs

For breakfast with the dog, The Early Bird and Little Lunch on Forsyth are the nearby dog-friendly cafes. If the pet rooms are taken, other Wagga options are on the Wagga Wagga destination page and in the NSW stays index.
