Belvoir Village Motel

Belvoir Village Motel is a pet-friendly motel and apartment property in West Wodonga, on the Victorian side of the Albury-Wodonga border. It mixes standard motel rooms with larger apartment-style units that add a kitchenette, courtyard and private carport, which is what makes it workable for a stay with a dog.

Dogs at the Belvoir Village Motel

Dogs of any size are accepted, with an additional fee of AU$25 per pet per night. Pets are generally required to be booked into a specific pet-friendly room, typically one of the apartment or cabin-style units rather than a standard motel room. Some of those apartments have two bedrooms, useful for a longer stay with a dog in tow. Call the property directly on +61 2 6024 5344 to confirm a pet-friendly room is available before booking, because a standard online booking does not guarantee one.

Max: always confirm the pet-friendly room type when you book. Motels like this often only allow dogs in specific units, not the whole property.

The vibe

Guest reviews highlight huge bedrooms, courtyards, comfy beds and the private carports, with mini bars in the larger units. For a dog owner the courtyard matters most: it gives you private outdoor space for toilet breaks and a lead-free sniff around, which a standard highway motel rarely offers. It suits a practical border-town base rather than a resort stay.

Getting there and parking

West Wodonga sits just off the Hume Highway, roughly three hours from Melbourne and about five from Sydney, so it is a classic overnight stop for travellers doing the Sydney-Melbourne run with a dog. Each unit has a private carport, so unloading crates and bowls happens out of the weather.

Close by with the dogs

The Belvoir Park Dog Park on Reuss Road is minutes away and is one of the region's best: fully fenced, with dual agility runs, a separate timid-dog enclosure, shade and drinking water. Daintree Cafe is a local cafe in the same part of town, and if you want to compare apartment stays across the border, Albury Wodonga Apartments is on PawScapes too.
