It’s no secret that during the pandemic, pet ownership in Australia reached new highs.
And now that we can travel freely we’re keen to take our furriest family member with us on a well-deserved break.
According to the Choosi Pet Lovers Report 2022, 68 per cent of pet owners wish there were more accommodation options for bringing pets on holiday.
Hip hotels have heeded the call (bark?) with many offering stays for our pets complete with all the home comforts.
Here are some sensational pet-friendly hotel options to consider…
