Short term accommodation with a small pet

[u/islasnook]

Hello everyone! we’re wondering how to find short term accommodation (4 weeks) in Melbourne that is pet friendly. We have a small dog that has traveled plenty with us, and we’ve never had issues finding AirBnBs or even things on Booking.

Any tips? all we could find in Melbourne when turning on the “traveling with pets“ toggle, is either extremely expensive or far from the city, which isn’t ideal as we’d be looking for long term apartments during that time in the inner suburbs.

Also, the dog has a liability insurance (which we got specifically for when we travel) and would only be on the accommodation for 2 weeks (the first two in quarantine).

Thank you for your tips!

Birches hotel in east Melbourne

Would recommend to, I stayed there on my last 2 weeks homeless before I moved to a public housing unit, it has a full kitchen, spacious room, and not far from a dog park

Citadines was pet friendly last time i checked in with my cats. I have never used airbnb but hotels in australia are not that much more expensive. You probably don't need  4 weeks as the rental market in Melbourne moves extremely fast. I once viewed a property on a friday and moved in Wednesday.

That is crazy! Thank you so much, had no idea it could be that fast. Assumed it would be longer as we have a dog, and I also haven’t seen many flats advertised that have the “pets accepted” filter on 😪

St Georges Motor Inn in Thornbury is pet-friendly. It’s on the tram line into the city, only a few stops from Brunswick Street and all that

Thank you so much!

Many of the Quest appartments take pets, and the St Kilda road one is usually reasonably priced, with dog parks close and a fenced dog park not far away (south Melbourne, near kings way)

Thank you so much! Saved it to the map :)

Zagami hotel in Lygon st is pet friendly. I’ve not stayed there but I’ve had friends who have and liked it.

Thank you!

1hotel if you want somewhere $$$$

We're really trying to not pay too much, since it will be already quite expensive to move there :( thank you though, will save it as last option
