Wentworth Central Motor Inn

Wentworth Central Motor Inn is a straightforward motel in the middle of town, a few hundred metres from where the Murray and Darling rivers meet. It takes dogs on request at a published rate of AUD 25 per pet per night, and pets of any size are allowed, which makes it an easy overnight stop for road-trippers crossing the border country.

Dogs at the motel

The pet policy is generous on paper but approval is on request rather than automatic. Pets of any size are welcome, cats included, at $25 per pet per night. There is no published weight or breed limit, but pet-friendly rooms are limited in number, so contact the motel directly when booking to confirm a pet room is actually available for your dates rather than assuming at check-in.

Max: ring ahead rather than booking blind. Rooms for guests with pets are limited here, and confirming early avoids a last-minute scramble after a long drive.

The setup

Rooms are spacious with modern bathrooms, and there is a clean pool plus a games room with a ping pong table for the hours between walks. The central position puts the town's cafes and the Darling River precinct within walking distance, so morning and evening walks do not need the car.

Worth knowing

Wentworth sits at the junction of the Murray and Darling rivers, with riverfront walking and the town's heritage sights close by. If you are comparing options in town, Darling Junction Motor Inn and the riverside Wanderers Crossing River Retreat are the other pet-friendly stays nearby.

Best for a simple overnight stop with the dog on the way through. Book direct, confirm the pet room before you commit, and ask about any extra conditions when you call. More options are on the NSW pet friendly stays guide and the Wentworth destination page.
