Pet-friendly Travel
Wanting to plan your next trip with your adorable pooch? Your fur baby will most likely be happy vacaying on the couch with you all curled up but if you need a well-deserved break and don’t want to leave your best friend at home then check out some our recommendations - from city breaks to rural escapes, Kenny and Co have done the homework for you.
LUXURY
THE LANGHAM, MILLERS POINT, SYDNEY
If you are looking for the ultimate in luxury for you and your best friend, look no further. The Langham Sydney offers the Pampered Pets Staycation package. Four-legged friends get a dedicated pet room service menu, they receive plush beds, signature Langham bowls, gourmet pet treats and a gift bag upon check in. Looking to celebrate a four-legged birthday; the Langham offers a party planning package to design your best friends’ birthday! In addition, the Langham is perfectly situated to stroll through some iconic and beautiful streets in Sydney, so the history and cuisine of the area is at your doorstep for you and your pooch to explore.
PIER ONE, WALSH BAY, SYDNEY
Another perfect spot for pooch strolls is at Pier One in Walsh Bay. Ideally located with access to wonderful dog-friendly restaurants along the Pier, or a short walk around Mrs Macquarie’s Chair to Circular Quay. The hotel offers a Pups on the Pier package which includes in room amenities for your buddy, dog mini bar, dog-friendly in room dining and a team of pet-friendly staff to make your stay memorable.
ZAGAME’S HOUSE, CARLTON, MELBOURNE
Zagame’s believe you should not leave your furry friend behind and home is where the paw is. On arrival, your pooch gets a “Treat Yo Fur-baby” goody bag and if your best friend gets a little hungry, they can order from the exclusive in-room pet menu (including gluten-free options). Furry friend bored? They can turn on the “Furry Movie of the Month”. Right around the corner from iconic Melbourne spots like the Queen Victoria Markets, Chinatown and the Melbourne Museum it is a great spot for strolling with your best friend. What we really love is that Zagame’s partners with The Lost Dogs’ Home charity.
RURAL
YONDAH BEACH HOUSE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Planning to take your pal for some sea air? Yondah Beach House in South Australia as a 150-acre property that they welcome your best friend to. They believe that pets are part of the family and enjoy sharing their beautiful property with you and your best friend.
