Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Pukehina

Great location, conveniently located on a quiet area within walking distance to redwood forest and very short drive to city centre. The house had everything we needed for our stay. Fiona is a great host. Excellent communication throughout with great recommendations on activities. Will certainly stay here again in the future..

Such a magical spot right on the beach. A real kiwi bach vibe. Loved our stay in Pukehina. Vicki was a great host.

Another great stay which is perfect for our fishing trips, always warm and cosy and enough room for our large group.

We enjoyed our stay at Lesa's beautiful house. Lesa was an awesome host and the house was even better than we imagined, everything we needed was provided (even some fresh bread and milk). There are 3 double bedrooms (one with ensuite), the lounge can be separated from the living area and also opens onto a nice sunny deck. the back yard opens onto a reserve/walkway which is awesome for walking/exercising the dog and also means you can walk to the beach and local shops/restaurants. The surrounding area is nice and quiet. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place in Papamoa.

This was one of the cleanest properties we’ve ever stayed at. The house was thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the attention to detail was fantastic. The outdoor shower was a great bonus, and the waffle station was such a fun and unique touch – my friend had a blast making waffles for breakfast! The outdoor area is lovely and well set up, with a BBQ that we didn’t get the chance to use on this short trip, but we’re already planning to come back. The high fences made it feel really secure, especially great for those travelling with dogs. Gerard was fantastic – super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. In terms of cleanliness, location, and amenities, this was the best place we’ve ever stayed. Can’t wait to return!

Fantastic spot. Super close to the beach and within walking distance to great eateries. Robyn was extremely proactive in communicating with us and super friendly and helpful. Would 100% stay here again.

Close to water, big and spacious. Well equipped for air BNB. our youngest loved the bunk bed room and the space invaders. We loved the games room. Only one usable pool cue though. Rotorua is cold this time of year so was grateful for a fireplace.

Amazing property with beautiful views, peaceful neighbourhood away from the busy life. Carolyn is an amazing host — kind, friendly, very helpful with whatever you need and quick to respond, always checking in. I unfortunately had an incident during my stay and Carolyn was very understanding and helpful, I can't thank her enough for not only her hospitality, but just being an overall great person.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The place was beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We especially loved the pool—it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The hosts were fantastic—friendly, responsive, and made sure everything was just right. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

great place to stay. the owner had great communication and understanding of our requests

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.

This is my happiest experience. The host is very nice, considerate, kind, and the service is good. The room is clean and hygienic. The host cleans the room every day. Her dog is also very cute. Anyway, we are very satisfied. We will choose this place again next time.

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

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.

Danielle’s home was immaculate, peaceful and way bigger than the photos make the house look! There was plenty of space to lounge around and the swimming pool and well kept grounds were an added bonus.

We were a group of 9 adults and stayed for 2 nights. The place has excellent living areas for a big group. The location is amazing being a very short walk to the beach and about 10mins walk to shops and cafes. I would highly recommend this place.

I had the greatest stay with Stay A While’s accommodation.! The place matches the photos, clear and easy instructions to follow, supper clean and tidy, brand new furniture, nice location, really close to the beach, and etc. Karen was extremely polite and caring with us. I highly recommend and definitely coming back next time. Thanks so much Karen S2, I had such a great time.

This is the second time we have stayed at the lake house in Lake Tarawera, We couldn't recommend it enough! Such an awesome spot if you have a boat or jetskis , If not they have kayaks you are welcome to use. Playground is about a 3-5 minute walk for the kids, Tennis Court is right at your door step. All the neighbors are very friendly and make you feel right at home. If your thinking about booking don't think about it just book it you will have an amazing time!

It was our first time doing something like this with our young family of 5 and we had an amazing time. The setup was perfect for a family getaway. It was comfortable, clean, and surrounded by nature. Stephanie was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The kids had a blast, and so did we. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and unique family experience surrounded by nature

We couldn’t have picked a more perfect spot for our mini-moon! From the moment we arrived, we were in love—gorgeous flower gardens, dreamy hydrangeas, and the most charming vintage decor that was so our vibe. Every little detail was thoughtful and welcoming. Our small dog, Hazel, was just as happy as we were, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and exploring the garden. It felt like a cosy, romantic escape while still having all the comforts of home. We truly didn’t want to leave! Love, love, love—would stay again in a heartbeat! 💕✨🐾

Comfortable spot with everything you need available at the house. Close to the beach, cafes, pubs and shopping centres, so can avoid getting in the car all the time. Thanks Val ☺️

Hilary and Rob are fantastic hosts. Hilary is super friendly and accommodating. I simply inquired if there is a microwave at the place to heat up takeaway food (no big deal if there isn’t one), she went out of her way -and bought a brand new one before we checked in. We were amazed by her kindness and effort, we really appreciated it. The place is very peaceful with stunning view, highly recommended! Thank you Hilary and Rob for a fantastic stay 😊 Cheers, Ben and Rita

We had a great 2 night stay at Lindy's. It was the first time taking our 2 year old spaniel away with us. Very centrally located and plenty of things to see and do. Would stay again. Thank you. 😃

Really great stay for a night, peaceful place and everything you need inside. We recommend!
