Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Waikanae

An absolutely lovely little getaway. The house is beautiful, warm, modern and cosy and has everything you need. The garden is private and lots of options for sitting outside and taking in the great view! We could hear tui and the beach from the garden. Great location, 3 min walk to the beautiful Otaihanga domain and river walk down to the estuary and beach or up to waikanae. Great for the dogs! Really handy to paraparumu, pubs, cafes, and shops. Lucy was a dream host - super helpful and kind. Thanks for having us, we will definitely be back!

Beautiful location and the hosts were very communicative and kept in touch the whole way.

Kia ora Johanna, The cubs from Pride Lands and I really enjoyed your place and your home. It was amazing! We are also grateful to you for getting the fire place going late afternoon when we returned from our excursion on Saturday afternoon. The house was warm and welcoming and the cubs and I appreciated your kindness. Thank you very much. Moses and Cubs from Pride Lands Childcare.

A lovely town with a coastal and nature-filled vibe — very family-friendly. The host was wonderful and extremely helpful. The house is well-organized and comfortable for a family stay, including two bicycles available for guests to use. There are cute cafés around with a laid-back, holiday atmosphere.

Very comfortable and warm place. Loved how close we were to everything. Definitely booking again.

We enjoyed our stay, surrounded by a beautiful garden and at walking distance from the beach, restaurants and bakery. Neighboring a reserve at the back was a bonus, so we had more space to play ball games. It was a great place to rest and relax, indoor or outdoor. Board games available to play when it rained. One thing to note is that the bedroom upstairs, although private, it doesn't have a door to block any noise from downstairs. It is a cute cottage with lots of space for everybody.

Kim’s place was perfect for our family! She was so helpful & accommodating for us. The place has a lovely energy and such a sweet location! Many thanks Kim, we’d love to come back one day :)

Centraly located, within walking distance to the heart of town (Grocery store, Martinborough wine merchant), roomy, quiet with lots of amenities. We had a most wonderful stay. Highly recommended.

The house was tidy, very well appointed, clean and gorgeous. The deck is huge and the proximity to the wineries and the square was perfect.

Such a great place to stay, perfect for our group. Lots of space, both as a large group but also breakout areas. Outdoors is stunning, great to wander around in the sun and fresh air, very quiet and peaceful - our dogs love it!! Well equipped throughout, kitchen had all the staples and plenty of serving ware for group meals, bedrooms were all fabulously set out, plenty of extra bedding and towels if needed. Lots of games to have fun with, plus the pool and tennis court. We had a blast, thank you for having us!!

Beautiful house in great location. Very modern, kitchen well appointed. Super comfortable beds! Walking distance to restaurants and shops. We had a wonderful weekend, thank you.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming converted barn! It’s cozy, beautifully designed, and full of character. The space was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. Loved the peaceful surroundings and thoughtful touches throughout. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique and serene place to stay!

Vicki has such an amazing place! Had no trouble at all finding it, easy check in and really friendly. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for some time away, would definitely stay here again.

Thank you, what a lovely and special family home, it made for a magical and relaxing xmas break. Beautiful deco home with bohemian vibes. A spacious garden area to play led to an ethereal private pathway to the beach which was dotted with wild flowers. Original deco elements retained in the bathrooms. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds with views. Would not hesitate to recommend. Many thanks.

We had a fabulous time celebrating our mums birthday with a weekend of relaxation at Melleny and Simon’s place. We had 3 young children who had a blast with the toys/books/pool and outdoor activities (just be mindful of a steep staircase to the third floor but this was foretold to us) Lovely peaceful location and Melleny and Simon were wonderful hosts with prompt communication and reassurance to our queries. We will be back!

Great home and location - the bath tubs were very special. Didn't realise there was a Tiny House out the back - I wasn't sure if someone was in there or not.

Great large property, with new house. Perfect property for dogs to run around and made the most of the outdoor fireplace.

Beautiful house, family friendly and has everything you need , Lisa was amazing to communicate with. Would definitely stay again when we are back in Foxton.

I really loved staying at Jo’s place. It was super cosy and very well kitted out. The place was spotless. Jo gave tonnes of local recommendations and offered an earlier check in that day. She clearly takes great pride in this property. I would definitely recommend to a friend for a beach retreat/ peaceful getaway

I booked my mum and dad (both in their early 80s, travelling up from Oamaru) into Jason's cosy studio. It was a very stormy few days in the lower North Island, and they were visiting a sick relative, but they felt safe and cosy in the studio. They loved the vibrant artwork, the beautiful walk-in shower, and the proximity to Otaki township. Their only feedback is that, while very comfortable, the bed is quite low to the ground so those with limited mobility might find it a bit tricky. For my part (based in Auckland), Jason was always easy to reach and prompt in answering questions.

A little slice of heaven!! We extended our stay twice because we loved it so much! We felt right at home, and super refreshed, we loved the decor and the layout of the home, walking distance to shops and amenities too! The host was very responsive and accomodating to all of our requests. Highly recommended! Thank you for having us ❤️

Andreas place was amazing. My Mum and her friends had a lovely time. It was peaceful and quiet, stunning location, classic kiwi bach. Lovely little details, and extras. Andrea was responsive and helpful. Thanks, we will definitely be back.

We had a lovely family weekend at Sandwalk. Beautiful location, great beach access - will definitely be back! Thanks for hosting us.

Lovely hosts. Well located. Easy to find, even easier during daytime ( we arrived in the dark). Clean and comfortable. Thank you Ngaire.
