Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Waikato River

Amazing, breathtaking view. Best place for me and bridesmaids before went to my wedding at Don Rowland. The only downfall is that the dam was closed at the time, it would have been a 5 minute drive but had to go right around via motorway (20 min) but the house itself was well worth it! Had everything we needed and more!!! I would consider going again just for a normal weekend. The hosts were accommodating in every way, we had access to kayaks, best coffee machine, comfy couches and beds, clean showers, a nice bbq, beautiful flowers, awesome neighbours, parking for about 3 cars and extra blankets and towels. 10/10 from us!

We had a very enjoyable stay at Jane's place. Set in a very peaceful location. A short walk to the shopping centre and a short drive to the Mount. Easy check-in. Instructions were detailed and easy to follow. A very comfortable home. Would recommend.

A wonderful place to stay and relax. Thank you for being dog friendly. We had an excellent stay.

Second stay here, heater was on when i arrived so house was beautifully warm. Lovely and peaceful and well set up so homely and comfortable.

This space is everything presented and more. Karin & Ollie provide a wonderful abode tucked away, with plenty of clear concise instructions. The cottage is cozy, charming and so peaceful. We were so satisfied with the space we were sad to leave! Highly highly recommend!!

Had a lovely stay here. House was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable, nice sheets and towels. Great to be able to bring our dog with us, fully fenced garden was perfect. Lots of board games, books and things to keep us busy on the rainy days. Tanya was lovely and met us at the door, we were given a tour and all the info we needed, including a quick rundown on the local restaurants and shops. Location was very good, close to everything but far enough away to be quiet. We appreciated being able to put the car in the garage as well. Would definitely recommend staying here 😊

We had a lovely stay at Sharon’s. Everything was tidy and well kept - if we’re ever planning to stay in the area again we will definitely book here again!

We had a great stay at Alyssa's. The place was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and the house was nice and warm. It was also great to be able to have our fur baby with us.

Great property, great host, and wonderful stay! The property is spacious, well appointed, very clean and fresh, and a retreat away from home! We really enjoyed our stay with 3 adults and 6 kids at the property. We had plenty of space, enjoyed the fireplace with the wood provided, and even the chickens. As we have chickens at home that just added to the appeal. This location worked really well for hitting the glowworms and Hobbiton!

What a beautiful home for a family getaway! It surpassed our expectations, and they were high. Sarah and Darren have thought of absolutely everything and it is all top quality and so comfortable. One of my aunties marvelled that her bed was so good, she woke up without the usual aches and pains. Located just up the road from the redwood forest and tree walk, and only a few minutes from town, yet private and quiet, it was a perfect escape. Now we want to stay again during summer to make the absolute most of the fabulous pool and outdoor areas. Highly recommend!

Quirky fun layout. Very practical & roomy enough for 9 guests. The kids loved that the pool was available even though it was Easter weekend. Roszarri was very helpful and welcoming.

My partner and I had a wonderful weekend stay. The place was incredibly quiet and private, perfect for a relaxing getaway. We really appreciated the lovely personal touches that made our holiday feel extra special. Everything was clearly prepared with care. Check-in and check-out were seamless, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’d absolutely stay here again.

Atiamurphy is one of the best AirBNB places we have stayed at. Service provided, Host Communication and the Location, is perfect, for me at least. kids will have a blast, parents will get their peace, and travellers will scratch that itch whilst here! Thank you to Barry for your support throughout our stay

Catherine's place exceeded all expectations. The space itself was incredibly roomy, making it perfect for relaxing, spending time with others, or just enjoying some quiet downtime. There were plenty of things to do, which kept everyone entertained throughout the stay—whether it was exploring the surroundings or enjoying the pool, reading books and playing the piano. What really stood out, though, was Catherine's hospitality. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, leaving a handwritten note and some thoughtful snacks for us to enjoy upon arrival. It's those personal touches that really make a difference and show how much she cares about her guests’ experience. Everything about the stay was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. I honestly can’t think of a single downside. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Catherine’s place to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-hosted getaway.

Wonderful stay in Tahawai, would absolutely stay again! The views were stunning and Yana was a great host.

Great place! Perfect layout and so great for a family stay with the pools, tennis court and chickens!

Peaceful and serene spot, beautiful view. Clean and tidy property, clear communication with easy to follow instructions. Description was very accurate. Would highly recommend and would book to stay here for future trips :)

The Gazebo is what it's looks: a beautiful and cozy place to spend calm days! The outdoor shower with the stars views is incredible and the water was always very warm, same as at the bath tube with the sunset view. There are a few activities to do around the house and we were happily surprised with the volleyball net! Would return to spend more days exploring the hike and river at the area.

simply fantastic . Three of us enjoyed the quiet and the view and the cleanliness. all outstanding. will visit again

Cute little farm stay. Cottage as described had everything we needed and was a bonus I could bring my dogs. Thank you!

The hobbit hole was magic! Exactly what I needed. The more time you spent there the more you realised how much time and thought had been poured into it. Sheryn was so warm and friendly, going out of her way to pick me some fresh fruit! Would love to return at some point! Would highly recommend to anyone who needs some time out.

Really enjoyed our time here! The host was great and proactive with communication. Check-in was a breeze, no stress at all. The place is in such a good location, close to all the tourist spots and really easy to get around. Perfect if you just want a smooth, comfy stay while exploring the area. Would definitely come back!

We had such a great time at this beautiful home in Bowentown! The house had everything we needed, and was super close to the beach. Would most definitely recommend staying here!

Very friendly and hospitable hosts who made us very welcome. The animals were a big bonus for our children. Thanks for having us.
