Alto Richmond – Your Favourite Pet Friendly Accommodation
Alto Richmond is a fully serviced three-bedroom townhouse where short-term visitors stay in Melbourne during their holiday vacations. It is ideal for visitors who are seeking a pet friendly accommodation – we have had many pampered dogs and cats join their owners!
As owners, having our own pet when we lived here makes us more open to guests bringing along pets of all kinds. We welcome visitors with dogs or cats in our pet friendly accommodation. There is a small rear courtyard where your furry friends can run around, and an upstairs balcony where our own dogs liked to sit in the sun. We’re pretty sure yours will too.
Our sleeping accommodation is flexible for couples or families. As the kitchen is fully equipped, and with a supermarket handy around the corner, you can cook for yourself very easily, and catering for your pet is also very easy.
Lounge around in your PJs on comfortable and silky smooth linens changed regularly as part of our weekly serviced accommodation. Alto Richmond is not just a pet friendly accommodation; we also offer the best amenities for you and your loved ones to enjoy while you’re on vacation. Internet is free and there are DVDs and CDs for your entertainment.
Our accommodation is in a fabulous location right at the heart of the Richmond‘s cafe, bar and restaurant precinct. You can park your car in the street for an unlimited time using our parking permit. Our central location makes it handy to drive to any part of Melbourne. The tram at the corner can take you to the Melbourne city centre in minutes.

10 Handy Tips To Remember When Taking Your Pet On Holiday:
- 1. The airlines will often have arrangements to make it easy to fly your pet with you. Plan ahead and allow for extra time when booking your ticket.
- 2. If travelling by car don’t leave your pet in direct sunlight even for a short time. A pet can’t sweat like humans do. Pets use their tongue and panting to cool down but can quickly dehydrate. Provide plenty of water during the journey.
- 3. You can sit and have a coffee with your pet beside you outside many of the cafes in Swan Street. Their staff members are so polite; they will usually ask if you would like a water bowl for your friend.
- 4. The Coles supermarket across the road is well stocked with pet food – saving you the hassle of bringing big and bulky supplies.
- 5. There is a tiny park handy at the top of Waverley Street about 200m from your pet friendly accommodation, quite handy for your pet to go on a friendly walk and sniff.
- 6. There is a large park in Mary Street a few minutes away that is dog friendly. (Melway map ref 2H, B11) There is plenty of room for you and your pet to play, run around or throw a ball around. Your pet is sure to love this park because other pet owners come here regularly. There is a big dogs group and a small dogs group with well trained dogs that are all sociable and friendly.
- 7. Take your dog for a walk while getting to know Melbourne. Visit the MCG, located at Yarra Park Melway map ref 2G, E7; the park is big and grassy.
- 8. For a long 6km walk, you can plan a circuit from your pet friendly accommodation at Alto along Swan St to the MCG, across the footbridge to the Tennis Centre, then across the bridge to Alexandra Av and back up Punt Road to Swan Street and home to your accommodation. Plenty of pet friendly spots along the way.
- 9. Keep your dog on a leash in public areas.
- 10. Don’t forget to take some plastic bags with you and clean up poo on the way.
