There is truly no place more relaxing than sitting on the banks of the Murray River surrounded by River Red Gums watching river life flow around you.
This list of dog friendly cabins on the Murray River runs from west to east and will help you find pet friendly accommodation to book on or near the Murray River in Victoria as well as some over the border in NSW.
Please note, I don’t consider ‘dogs on request’ or ‘pre-approval required’ dog friendly. I have included just a one line link to those options to help you find as many places as possible when availability is limited.

Wakiti Creek Resort
Dog friendly cabin options
Please note all of the accommodation at Wakiti requires you to keep your dog off the furniture and out of carpeted bedrooms so this is not a good choice if your dog is used to sleeping in the bedroom with you. Or maybe a byo baby gate or similar to keep them out but still be able to see you could work.
Facilities
A lovely leafy haven, this holiday park is more of a destination than just somewhere to sleep as it’s over the border in NSW and about a 45 drive from Echuca. However, it has fantastic facilities and while I havnt visited myself, my parents just stayed there in 2023 and really enjoyed the leafy bush surrounds.

Facilities
Morning Glory River Resort is a little further to drive as you do need to go through Echuca Moama and travel a bit into NSW however it is a huge property with plenty of river access, walking and bike trails. Its the perfect place for a dog friendly catch up with family and friends with plenty for everyone to do.
Annoyingly, you cannot book online (you have to send an enquiry) however I have included them as they have so many dog friendly accommodations options as well as dog friendly wheelchair accessible accommodation and space to explore with dogs.
Tocumwal: The Boomerang Way Tourist parks direct website says they have a pet friendly option for the Two Bedroom Ensuite Cabin but you have to call to book it. There is no mention of this on their gday parks page.

This clean & affordable cabin is in a park located around a 10 minute drive away from the Murray River and a short drive from other parks and reserves.
It seems to be booked out quite a long way in advance so you may need to plan ahead or book midweek. Reviews suggest the park is well maintained and the staff are helpful and friendly.
This would also be a handy dog friendly place to stay on the drive between Geelong/Melbourne and Sydney and the park is located in a convenient location to the Hume Freeway Albury Wodonga bypass.
