Dog-Friendly Accommodation: What to Look for When Booking
Planning a trip to Ipswich and bringing your four-legged companion along? Whether you’re a family on a holiday, a couple enjoying a romantic getaway, or a solo traveller exploring Queensland’s heartland, finding the right dog-friendly accommodation is essential for a stress-free and enjoyable stay. At Central Motel Ipswich, we understand that pets are part of the family, and we’ve tailored our stays to suit all kinds of travellers—paws included!
Here’s what to consider when booking dog-friendly accommodation, and how Central Motel Ipswich ticks all the boxes.
🏡 1. A Welcoming Pet Policy
Not all “pet-friendly” listings are truly pet-welcoming. Some have hidden fees, strict size limits, or don’t allow pets inside the room. When researching accommodation:
- Check for clear pet policies on the motel’s website. Most you have to check your pets in at reception on arrival.
- Confirm whether pets can stay inside the room with you or if they’re restricted to outdoor areas.
- Ask about pet fees (one-off or nightly).
- Ensure the property understands dogs and has experience hosting them.
✅ At Central Motel Ipswich, we welcome friendly, well-behaved dogs of all shapes and sizes in select rooms. Pets stay with you inside—no backyard kennels here!
🌳 2. Nearby Green Spaces and Walking Areas
Having a park nearby is a huge plus for dogs (and their humans!). You’ll want to stay somewhere that makes it easy to walk your dog, give them exercise, and enjoy the outdoors together.
✅ Central Motel Ipswich is located close to:
- Queens Park, with leafy walks and picnic areas
- Limestone Park, a local favourite with off-leash zones
- Dog-friendly cafés and walking trails, perfect for stretching those legs

🛌 3. Comfortable, Clean and Spacious Rooms
Just like you, your dog needs space to relax. Choose a motel that offers clean, tiled or laminate floors (better for accidents), easy access to outdoor areas, and room for your dog’s bed or crate.
✅ Our pet-friendly rooms at Central Motel Ipswich are:
- Ground-floor for easy access
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Spacious enough for your dog’s bedding or crate
- Equipped with outdoor sitting areas nearby
🐾 4. A Safe and Secure Environment
Safety matters—especially when travelling with curious pups! Look for:
- Secure room access (no open corridors leading to roads)
- Safe places to tie your dog up briefly, if needed
- Fenced or quiet areas to toilet your dog
✅ Central Motel Ipswich offers a safe, low-traffic layout with easy access to walking areas. Our friendly team is also happy to point out the nearest pet essentials.
👨👩👧👦 5. Tailored for Families, Couples, and Solo Travellers
No two travellers are the same—especially when pets are involved. That’s why flexible accommodation is key.
- Families often need multiple beds and easy access to parks and dining.
- Couples might prefer a private, quiet room with nearby restaurants.
- Solo travellers often appreciate convenience, affordability, and a warm, safe welcome.
✅ Central Motel Ipswich offers all this and more. We have a variety of room sizes, modern amenities, and a peaceful location, just a short stroll from Ipswich’s cafés, shopping, and attractions.
🐶 6. Local Knowledge and Friendly Hosts
Travelling with a dog often means needing advice on local dog parks, pet-friendly cafés, or even the nearest vet (just in case). That’s where a helpful, locally-minded host makes all the difference.
✅ At Central Motel Ipswich, we’re locals—and we love pets. Need a recommendation? Just ask! We’ll point you to the best dog-friendly spots around town.
