Ovolo Hotel - Woolloomooloo

This funky boutique hotel with indoor pool is set in the wharf area of Woolloomooloo and is very close to the Royal Botanic Gardens. The hotel describes their look as ‘heritage meets modern luxury’ and that sure shows looking at the different accommodation offers on their website.

Not only is the hotel dog friendly but on their Offers Page you will find that they have a special ‘V.I.Pooch Holiday Accommodation Package’ for your dog as well as for you a ‘Holiday Accommodation Package’. There are too many inclusions to list here, but they are definitely 5-star if you want to check out the offers link: https://ovolohotels.com/ovolo/woolloomooloo/offers/

Dog friendly accommodation with pool was the brief. I don’t think we were prepared for the style, luxury and lovely indoor pool that this property offers; yet so close to the Harbour, Gardens and CBD.

If pet friendly accommodation Jervis Bay is what you are after, then a short drive South to Lake Conjola may also be attractive to you.

Extra fees are charged, as to be expected with this luxury property. However, the service and extras for your dog and for the human guests are really special and add to the experience.
