Jamieson

Jamieson is a small town in the High Country region of Victoria with pet friendly accommodation options for those travelling with their pet.

Located where the Goulburn River and Jamieson River join, 200 kilometres from Melbourne. The name Jamieson is derived from George Jamieson, a shepherd in the area in the 1850s. The population is now around 400 people.

Very shortly after 1862 Jamieson had a Catholic chapel, an Anglican church, a school, a court house and police station, two banks, two insurance offices, five hotels and several stores had opened.

By the 1990s, Jamieson had become a popular tourist destination, boosted by Lake Eildon which is situated adjacent to Jamieson.

Jamieson today is a popular destination for four wheel drivers, fishermen, and amateur gold diggers. Jamieson is also close to the Mount Buller snowfields.

Jamieson now has two hotels, and pet friendly accommodation in the form of pet friendly caravan parks, pet friendly cottages, and several pet friendly bed and breakfasts.

Pet services in and around Jamieson include vets, horse riding opportunities, pet breeders, farriers, horse dentists, pet transport operators, and pet food outlets.

Jamieson is a very friendly country town and the locals invite you to come and experience the beauty and lifestyle for yourself, so pack up the family and dog in the car and head to Jamieson for your next 'relaxation time' in one of the pet friendly accommodation options.
