Pet-friendly accommodation in Ballarat

So often, we feel ourselves yearning to catch a break from the hustle and bustle to immerse ourselves in a world of luxury. To simply take a minute and relax, leaving the world and its busyness behind us. But travelling with pets can be a challenge, and it’s often difficult to find pet-friendly accommodation that welcomes our four-legged friends along for a holiday.
Enter Ballarat’s luxury Hotel Vera - one of the best pet-friendly hotels in Ballarat that not only has its own dedicated pet-friendly suite, but also has its very own resident pooch!
Here are the reasons why you should book your next luxury escape at Hotel Vera - the best pet friendly accommodation in Ballarat - and bring your furry friend along for the ride so they don’t miss out on all the fun.

1. Lonarch: the pet-friendly suite

The biggest reason why Vera is one of the best pet friendly hotels in Ballarat is because of its dedicated pet-friendly suite – The Lonarch.

This suite features some of the luxury hotel’s most unique features including oak floors, double rain showers, a marble bench, exposed brick wall and outdoor courtyard so you and your loyal comrade can catch some fresh air amongst the stunning hotel surroundings.

The suite’s brick wall is beautifully complemented by Carole Batchelor’s misty, immersive work Layers of Time 01, which the Naarm artist says explores the nature of relations that exist in flux through the sensory experience of paint and other visual signifiers.

With a special pet shower and luxe lounging pet bed, your travelling companion will reap all the benefits of staying at this luxury pet-friendly offering in Ballarat. Just note that only one pet is permitted to stay in the suite.

2. Travelling with pets: an ultra-relaxed holiday

It goes without saying that owning a pet brings all manner of calm and stress relief to one’s life, so it makes little sense to have to leave that form of stress relief home when heading on holiday.

Being a dog-friendly accommodation in Ballarat, Hotel Vera itself offers guests the finest luxury experience – providing an ethereal stay that allows one to discover their ultimate quietude . Having one’s pet by their side will further relieve stress and ensure that guests enjoy their stay to the fullest.

Our pets are our most loyal friends, the greatest holiday companions, the best confidants and the cosiest comforters. A holiday simply wouldn’t be a holiday without their presence which means that staying at one of the most pet friendly hotels in Ballarat really is a no brainer!

3. Experience Ballarat in all its pet-friendly glory

We won’t blame you if you want to spend your entire holiday hunkered down beneath the luxe Hotel Vera linens with your pet beside you. But should you want to explore Ballarat’s tourist offerings, there is a wealth of pet-friendly attractions to discover.

For outdoor adventures, make sure to check out the iconic Lake Wendouree with its six-kilometre Steve Moneghetti Track. Walk the dog, grab a coffee by one of the lakeside cafes, or sit down at Pipers by the Lake and ask about the dog-friendly menu of puppuccinos, doggy biscuits and dog-friendly ice cream. Following your lake ventures, head across the road to the Ballarat Botanical Gardens and meander through the tracks as you admire the vibrant blooms, historic statues and towering oaks. Just make sure your dog is on a lead.

Other dog-friendly outdoor sites worth checking out with your pet include the picturesque Mount Buninyong and the lush Woowookarung Regional Park.

Your outdoor explorations will surely have you feeling famished, but luckily there are numerous pet-friendly cafes and restaurants ready to serve you and your pup all the fuel you deserve. Outdoor seating is available at local faves including Johnny Alloo, L’espresso, Fika and The Turret, or if you travel a little further outside of town, cafe and nursery The Greenhouse will allow you to take your dog inside with a lead and through to the back courtyard for a wholesome all-day brekky or lunch.

Other pet-friendly eateries, including Griller’s Mark, Orchard Cafe Lucas, and LYDIARD general, all have special dog-friendly menus so everyone can experience Ballarat’s fine cuisine for themselves and realise exactly why Ballarat is the pet-friendly destination that it is.
