Dog friendly accommodation in Torquay & the Surf Coast
4 dog friendly places to stay, 3 let your dog stay inside
Torquay is the gateway to the Great Ocean Road and an easy dog weekend from Melbourne. The pick of the stays go out of their way for dogs: one holiday park even has a cabin built for them. As always on the coast, the caravan park sites and the cabins have different dog rules, so check before you book.
3 of the 4 dog friendly stays we've checked in Torquay & the Surf Coast let your dog sleep inside the room or cabin, and 1 takes dogs on camp sites only.
Dogs are welcome inside the cottages at Bells Beach Cottages. There is a $30 per stay fee, a maximum of two pets per cottage, and pets must not be left unsupervised or allowed in bedrooms or on couches.
Dogs year round on powered and unpowered sites plus selected cabins, headlined by the Puppy Penthouse, a cabin kitted out specifically for dogs. Fishermans Beach is a short walk.
Six ground floor rooms set up for guests with a dog, each with its own fenced terrace. One dog under 20kg per room, and bring your dog's own bed.
The Grove sites section takes dogs seasonally, right behind the main beach. Cabins don't take dogs, and peak season is dog free, so it's a shoulder season camping trip.
