rel=\"noopener\">Great Ocean Road<\/a> is one of Australia\u2019s great road trips (it\u2019s in the name), so why not bring along your furry friend? To ensure your pup can stay comfortable and hydrated no matter how much of the Great Ocean Road you tackle, don&#8217;t forget to travel with the Land Rover Discovery&#8217;s foldable pet carrier and spill-resistant water bowl \u2013 an optional accessory all four-legged companions will appreciate. For a stop close to Melbourne, check in to The Sands Torquay to stay in dog-friendly rooms. Your pooch will love doing a biiiiig stretch in the private outdoor area, chowing down on the welcome treat and playing with your welcome gift, a bouncy ball. Take your best friend for an on-lead walk, then head to the off-leash Whites Beach just a short walk away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>To see Olympia&#8217;s road trip in action, check out the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kiBnYmA8p-4&amp;t=30s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full episode<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taking your dog (or other pet) on the discovery trip of a lifetime is a breeze thanks to these paws-itively amazing escapes where pets are not only accepted, they are celebrated. \u00a0 Pet-friendly travel has been a hot topic in recent years, with more travellers than ever foregoing the pet sitter in favour of a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":40683,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,197,18,196],"tags":[33,13],"location":[],"customertype":[],"class_list":["post-39519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-australia","category-new-south-wales","category-queensland","category-victoria","tag-accommodation","tag-outdoor-adventure"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-08-25T162809.246.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"lux_id":39519,"lux_link":"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/pet-friendly-hotels-australia\/","lux_title":"Barks and Recreation: These Are Australia\u2019s Top Pet-Friendly Escapes\u00a0","lux_excerpt":"Taking your dog (or other pet) on the discovery trip of a lifetime is a breeze thanks to these paws-itively amazing escapes where pets are not only accepted, they are celebrated. \u00a0 Pet-friendly travel has been a hot topic in recent years, with more travellers than ever foregoing the pet sitter in favour of a [\u2026]","lux_excerpt_trimmed":"Taking your dog (or other pet) on the discovery trip of a lifetime is a breeze thanks to these paws-itively amazing escapes where pets are not only accepted, they are","lux_image_url":"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-08-25T162809.246.png","lux_image_url_medium":"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-08-25T162809.246-350x233.png","lux_image_url_large":"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-08-25T162809.246-1024x683.png","lux_image_url_square":"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Untitled-design-2025-08-25T162809.246-500x500.png","lux_categories":[{"label":"Australia","link":"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/destinations\/australia\/"},{"label":"New South Wales","link":"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/destinations\/australia\/new-south-wales\/"},{"label":"Queensland","link":"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/destinations\/australia\/queensland\/"},{"label":"Victoria","link":"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/destinations\/australia\/victoria\/"}],"lux_tags":[{"label":"Accommodation","link":"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/tag\/accommodation\/"},{"label":"Outdoor &amp;
