The Ascot Motel

The Ascot Motel is a pet-friendly motel in Wahroonga on Sydney's upper north shore, a practical base if you are travelling with a dog and want straightforward motel accommodation rather than a resort. Dogs of any size are accepted, but only in designated pet-friendly rooms, and those rooms are booked by phone, not online.

The pet policy. Dogs of any size are allowed, and cats may also be permitted on request. Pets must be in the designated pet-friendly rooms. An additional pet fee applies; the amount is not published online, so confirm it when you book. Cats and specifics should be raised directly with the motel.

Before you book. The pet-friendly rooms cannot be booked online. Call the motel on +61 2 9487 3355 to request one and to confirm the pet fee and any rules for your dates. Do not book a standard room online and assume a dog can join.

The place. Reviews describe it as a tidy, comfortable motel with good showers and comfy beds, though some rooms read as dated and renovations have been noted. Adjoining rooms are available, which can suit families.

Location and nearby. Wahroonga Village and its dog-friendly cafes are close, and Wahroonga Park and the local off-leash dog parks give you easy walking options during a stay.
