Echuca

Echuca is one of the most beautiful places in Victoria and together with its twin town of Moama in New South Wales on the opposite side of the Murray River, they form a bustling country city with a varied number of pet friendly accommodation venues for your comfort and enjoyment.

Echuca has a population of 13,000 residents, making it a city in its own right, but together with Moama, the population reaches 21,000 and forms a fantastic riverside location with just about everything you could wish for.

Echuca is the closest Murray River settlement to Melboure being only 220 kilometres or 2.5 hours drive and for this reason Echuca was known as the largest inland port in Australia back in the 19th century. There are still a number of paddlesteamers and riverboats in active existence in the port precinct of Echuca and they are a huge attraction to the many visitors who make Echuca their holiday town.

Three major rivers meet in the Echuca area and these are the Goulburn River, Campaspe River and the mighty Murray River and the famous and very popular Southern 80 Waterski race, the largest waterski race in the world, is held there every February. Other events of note in Echuca every year are the Riverboats Music Festival, also held in February, the Echuca Moama Wedding Expo every May, the Winter Blues Festival in July and the Echuca Steam, Horse and Vintage Rally on the Queens Birthday weekend in June.

Pet friendly accommodation in the Echuca area consists of pet friendly caravan parks, pet friendly houseboats, pet friendly houses, pet friendly cottages, pet friendly motels and hotels, pet friendly bed and breakfasts, pet friendly resorts and pet friendly backpackers and lodges. Other than these pet friendly accommodation venues there are pet related services in pet friendly dining, pet food and supplies shops, pet and animal transport, pet insurance agents, boarding kennels and catteries, aquarium shops, pet minding and dog walking services, dog grooming and washing businesses, vets, farriers, horse riding opportunities and places where pet parties can be held.

Echuca is a truly lovely city and the pet friendly accommodation owners are waiting for your visit so organise yourself a break at this wonderful place. You will be thrilled with your Echuca experience.
