Punthill Knox

Punthill Knox is a serviced apartment property at 337 Stud Road in Wantirna South, directly opposite Knox City Shopping Centre. It is built for longer stays - full kitchens, apartment living, set-hour reception - and pets are allowed under Punthill's group-wide pet travel terms, provided you confirm the details for this property before you book.

Dogs at Punthill Knox

Punthill's published Pet Travel Terms cover pets across the group, including Knox, subject to a non-refundable cleaning fee of up to $250 for up to two pets. Pets must not be left unattended in the room unless crated, must not be a nuisance to other guests, and are not permitted in common areas. Certified assistance animals are welcome regardless of the pet policy. Some third-party booking sites list Knox as pet-free, so call the property direct on (03) 9801 7771 and get a pet-friendly apartment and the fee confirmed in writing for your dates - policies vary by property even within the same group.

The vibe

Rooms are practical, carpeted apartments with kitchen facilities, some with a balcony, and reviewers describe them as quiet with accommodating staff. Reception runs set hours rather than 24-hour staffing, which matters if you are arriving late with a dog in tow. It suits owners on an extended stay - relocations, work stints, hospital visits - who want a kitchen and space rather than a hotel room.

Getting there and parking

The property sits on Stud Road near the Monash Freeway, with Knox City Shopping Centre across the road for supplies and cafes through the surrounding Wantirna South strip. On-site parking is available, so unloading a dog and luggage is straightforward.

Close by with the dogs

For a proper leg-stretch, Wantirna Reserve Fenced Dog Park is the local secure off-leash option, and the Dandenong Creek Loop gives you a longer leashed walk. Spade 9 Cafe & Bar is the neighbourhood cafe option nearby.
