Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

We had a lovely stay with our dogs at Hawk House. The cottage is clean, tidy and located on a beautiful quiet section - exactly what we needed for a weekend getaway!

A beautiful view from every room and a heated pool was great in winter! I had a birthday party here and all my guests enjoyed their stay.

This beautiful Airbnb is a home away from home. It is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing, wonderful stay. The photos do the home justice, and everything is as it appears to be. The outdoor space is delightful and the smallest of details have been carefully thought out. The space is a mix of Kiwi charm and Balinese culture. An absolute plus for us that we could bring our furbaby along, this is something I wish more Airbnb's did, so thank you Lynley, Dave and Wickett. The bathroom and bedroom were immaculately clean, and the shower is equally as good as ours as home (which is often hard to match). We have no doubt we'll be back at some point. Sincere thanks. :)

Firkins Retreat was a home away from home. This place was just a dream to stay at. The view was incredible. It felt very secluded and private with bush land and plants all around. The little touches really made it for myself and my partner, including kitchen amenities we don't have whilst travelling around, the hot spa, washing machine etc. We feel that everything was thought of for travellers, and more. The bed was our best sleep whilst travelling for sure. Brad was amazing with communication, very quick and clear and the place had instructions everywhere which was so helpful. This place was incredibly comfortable and warm and we would come back for sure.

Beautiful stay at Shelley’s for us and our doggo’s, very clean and tidy, comfortable warm and cozy. The info folder for guests was very helpful with local places to visit and places to eat and info about the property Shelley’s had everything that we needed for our stay. My daughter really enjoyed chilling out on the deck in the sun and our boys enjoyed the big section to run around in. A big thank you to an amazing host Shelley

Myself and two friends found Lyndsay and Maurice's place a tranquil, peaceful place to have a break and get away for a catch up. It was great to be away from the hustle and bustle of Auckland. They are the perfect hosts and we felt right at home. The three of us found the beds extra comfortable. Hilton and Luna had a great time as well. It was so therapeutic looking out at the beautiful view of the water every day. We would definitely like to stay again. Thanks again Lyndsay and Maurice.

This stay was amazing, easy to get to, great location and the house is beautiful. The instructions are no fuss. The home truly feels like a slice of paradise. The house is warm and has everything you need for a cosy weekend away.

Beautiful home, perfectly set up with everything you might need. Very cosy, lovely furnishings, linen & little details. The fire was a treat & kept entire place warm for my elderly mum. Melanie is a great host, very helpful, thoughtful & went the extra mile to make our stay a perfect one. highly recommend.

Jeremy’s place is a private, quiet hidden gem not far at all from bustling Auckland city. Suitable for a romantic getaway, the bathroom and spa are key factors in this… You must see it for yourself! The views of the rolling meadows during the day is great and even better at sunrise or sunset. Jeremy and Rae are fantastic hosts, very informative about the surrounding area and just super chill. Thank you so much J + R! You made my partner and I’s getaway that much more special.

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.

Friendly hospitable host. I enjoyed the brief stay. Thank for being so accommodating

Loved our stay here. Godfrey and Crystal were both welcoming and very friendly. The cottage was delightful and extremely well appointed. We felt very comfortable. It is in a lovely peaceful setting. Our dog enjoyed his stay there too. We look forward to visiting again.

Always a pleasure to stay at Juliet's place. A wonderful, peaceful hideaway so close to town.

Fantastic place. So peaceful, set in beautiful grounds with all day sun. Easy walking distance to town, best of both worlds. A great spot to explore the Hawke’s Bay region from. The Pavilion was lovely and warm and had a great modern vibe. Nick and Judy were very helpful and welcoming. Would happily stay here again and would highly recommend it.

Wonderful cottage, lovely host, excellent location and setting. Felt right at home and loved the covered outdoor area with view of animals etc. And fantastic that our fur babies could be with us in a fully fenced property. Overall, great bnb, we're grateful for opportunity to stay, and have no hesitation recommending to others.

Hattie was great to work with and very kind. The house pets were also very cute and sweet. The view from the property is amazing as well! Great little place for a weekend getaway and the nearby towns were great for exploring. Hattie kept us informed of everything was available for anything we needed.

Charming cottage lovingly restored. Very comfortable. Lovely location. Will definitely try and return.

Was a great stay, the place felt very homely and was such a lovely space. Also very accommodating for my little dog.

Poppy and her family were super helpful and warm welcoming. Love the environment and their cute dogs. Will definitely come back! Such a perfect spot for a weekend getaway!

Nici’s place is absolutely stunning and a must stay! From her very responsive communication to stress-free check in when running behind schedule, it was such a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle. We arrived at about 8pm with the lights on and the spa was hot and ready to rock and roll. My partner is a chef and was very excited to cook up a feast on the Blackstone BBQ for every meal. Sitting under the stars and fairy lights in the spa each night was so dreamy and was such a great way to unwind. Just when you think it can’t get any better, you get to snuggle up to the most luxurious sheets ever- you must share where you got these from as I had a look online to order some and had no luck! Waking up to a morning spa was a treat and we went exploring in Kāwhai and found ourselves coming back earlier to relax on the farm and plan a second night of cooking on the fire pit and Blackstone, couldn’t get enough of it. Great private spot and will definitely be back, thanks for having us!

Beautiful and peaceful spot. We loved everything about it. The outside bath tubs were great in a clear night. The cosy main room with a fireplace, very romantic. The outdoor fire was really fun. It had anything you could possibly need. I will definitely come back. Thanks Kate and Brian.

Beautiful location and accomodation. The description/pictures were very accurate, and check-in instructions clear. The cabin was set up beautifully and even though we arrived with cold weather, it was very cozy and warm inside. Lots of ammenities to make a pleasant stay, and the highlight for us was absolutely the spa and night sky. Everything we needed was provided, and the birdsong/kiwi calls/bushland surrounding was stunning. Highly recommend for a getaway!

what an experience. the views were breathtaking. wish we had nicer weather but that's how she goes! 1000 percent would go back

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights as a getaway and it was absolutely perfect! It is so peaceful and such a unique and personal place! We loved absolutely everything about it! The outdoor bath has been my absolute favourite place in the late evening! For us it was just the perfect getaway! Carol has been SO kind and even made us a beautiful cake when we left!
