BittyMooPeeb Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Have a look on the Dogs NSW site for accomodation near to Erskine Park. I dont think there is anything close to the showgrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenWei Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) I'm considering renting out my spare room for the Royal, but I am not close to Olympic Park, we are in Kurrajong. I'd prefer people only to stay one or two nights, and to only have a couple of dogs at most. I can't really accommodate more than 1 person/couple at a time, but I do have room for 3 or 4 tents. Dogs would need to be able to sleep in their crate inside, or in a trailer. Would this be a viable option for people or would people find it a bit weird?

merijigs Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I've heard good things about Nepean Shores Resort. About 40 min.s drive to the Showground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havasneeze Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Any ideas on the best place to stay for the Sydney Royal???I will be coming up with 1 dog... There is a Formula 1 Motel at Homebush, very close to the showgrounds. I'm guessing that the dog will stay in the car or in a trailer??? Don't know if it's pet friendly but it says it's gay friendly http://www.wotif.com/hotel/View?hotel=W582...mp;viewType=all I always try and book my accommodation through wotif, I seem to get good rates through them. Might be worth contacting them and see what they have to say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
periannath Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 There is a Novotel and it's slighter cheaper sister hotel the Ibis?right on the grounds.The Novotel is very expensive for the room quality you get or rather don't get.Lots of horse people use these hotels.You pay through the nose for the location.There is secure parking area under the hotel and one across the road if you are comfortable with leaving your dog in the car. I was unable to get the car under the hotel one year and had to use the other car park.I wasn't happy about it and spent the night in the car with the dogs and it wasn't a lot of fun.There was traffic and noise 'til the wee small hours and none of us slept well.The better half said the bed in the hotel was fine.LOL The upside is you are 5 mins walk from the dog pavilion and with one dog should easily manage all your gear in one go.

LoveMyDals Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Stayz.com.au have pet friendly accommodation in Parramatta, Penrith and inner west suburbs of Sydney. All of these places are very handy for Sydney Olympic Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bokezu Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 We're staying at Vineyard Van Village at Vineyard, its about 30 mins drive from Homebush. My friend stays there all the time and says its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
periannath Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Don't forget to allow extra travel time for the traffic if you are showing on days other than weekends and public holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
