What makes Toowoomba a unique city is its persistence in maintaining a countryside appeal despite the thriving local culture. Lots of jacaranda trees line the streets, giving a nice facelift to the neighborhoods. The best time to visit is September, when one of the most-awaited events in the city, the Carnival of Flowers, is held. If you like coffee and experimenting with different flavors, Toowoomba rivals the café and dining scene of big cities such as Melbourne. It’s a laid-back destination that doesn’t run out of exciting things to do, even for families and their furry pals. If you’re planning to take the whole gang on a holiday, here are some pet- & dog-friendly accommodations in Toowoomba, Australia.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and pet-friendly rules and regulations. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on March 21, 2024.

Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Toowoomba, Australia

1. Cottage close to the central business district (from USD 257)

For a group of eight with dogs, this cottage in East Toowoomba is an impressive place to stay. For one, it’s right next to the pet-friendly Queen’s Park where an off-leash green space for dogs is located. Secondly, guests only have to pay 3.4 USD (5 AUD) for the pet fee, and up to two dogs weighing less than 55.1 lbs (25 kg) are welcome.

Toowoomba’s central business district is just a quick walk away, so there sure are plenty of fun activities and places to explore nearby. These include The Empire Theatre and the Cobb+Co Museum. The outdoors is just as fun as the interior space. The reception area with leather couches and a fireplace is the perfect spot to rest after a day out, and the bathroom with a clawfoot tub is ideal for nighttime relaxation.
