Burnie Airport Motel

Burnie Airport Motel is a straightforward motel at 1 Goldie Street, Wynyard, right beside the airport (Burnie's airport sits in Wynyard), with the Inglis River mouth and foreshore walks close at hand. It takes dogs in a limited number of designated pet rooms, which makes it a practical overnight for travellers flying in or out of the state's northwest with a small dog.

Dogs at the motel

The motel runs a designated pet space, the Paws Suite, and allows a maximum of two pets per room, though pet-friendly rooms are limited in number so book the right room type well ahead. Pets must be house-trained, clean and flea-free, and quiet enough not to disturb other guests. Independent directories list a fee of roughly AU$15 per pet per night and a weight cap around 15kg, so confirm both with the motel directly, as the fine print sits with reception rather than any public policy page. Cats are typically not permitted, and valid credit card details are held at check-in against any extra cleaning or damage.

Pepsi: small dog, one or two rooms set up for pets. Phone ahead and lock it in rather than chancing it on arrival.

The stay and the walk

It is a functional overnight rather than a destination stay, valued for the airport-side location, river views and good coffee, and it suits early flights or late arrivals. Central Wynyard on Goldie Street is a short drive for dog-friendly outdoor dining, with the Inglis River foreshore nearby for a leg-stretch. For supplies or a cafe stop, Lemon Tree Providore is in town, and The Vault is the local dinner option.

More options are on the Tasmania pet friendly stays guide and the Wynyard destination page.
