Lochinvar Pet Motel
The Lochinvar Pet Motel is the perfect place to board your precious pet. We offer well priced Daycare, Overnight Boarding through to Extended Stays (over 30 days), in a home-like environment for your furry or feathered family member. Our dedicated staff pride themselves on the service they provide to make sure our pet motel is clean and safe so our guests are happy in their home away from home. To improve our facility even further we are currently undergoing major renovations and we apologise for any inconvenience caused and the appearance of our Pet Motel.
Located near Maitland on the edge of the Hunter Valley Wine Country at 206, Old North Road, Lochinvar, we are just 52 kms from Newcastle, an easy 45 minute drive.
Your pets health and well-being is of the utmost importance to us. To assist us in providing the very best of care, please ensure you have read carefully all the terms and conditions on the online Booking Page. If you have any questions or need clarification about any item, please do not hesitate to call before you make your booking.
Prior to Covid we were Nationally Accredited to meet Pet Industry Standards/Code of Ethics and had met the PIAA requirements for Business Practices, Work Health and Safety Legislation, Kennel and Cattery Practices and Procedures. Additionally we had received an award from PIAA for staff education and training. Unfortunately PIAA have elected not to continue with the Accreditation Program but none the less we still maintain the same level of service.
