Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Waikato River

Cozy and comfortable. Everything you need for an extended stay. Quick communication. Far enough away for privacy but still close to town center

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!

Lovely spot, cosy spacious place to stay

It’s really nice time for us. Nice clean house well organised..we had a great time..

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!!

Fantastic location - nice and private and very quiet. House is well set up, and has everything you need for a great weekend away. Really comfy beds.

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!

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.

Yana has been amazing, our team stayed for two weeks at her lovely accommodation, she was very easy going and pleasant to deal with, we will be back in the area soon and are hoping we can stay again. The team were very pleased with the accommodation too, the spa bath was a lovely addition after a hard day's work, they also enjoyed watching the stars and listening to the birds - it was a perfect escape from the busy day on the road. We highly recommend Yana's hideaway to anyone!

We absolutely loved our stay. Nathan was incredibly welcoming and allowed us to use his place for our small wedding ceremony. It was the most amazing day and we really enjoyed our entire stay. Thanks again Nathan!! We will always remember this beautiful space that we held our special day at. ☺️

Let me just say, if i am ever in Tauranga again (from Florida), I know a fantastic B&B. Laura is a warm and welcoming host and her accommodation is clean, stylish, and comfortable. She is a detail person and it shows. We loved the neighborhood. Mount Maunganui was an easy drive and a great hike. The hot water pool at the base was relaxing. Laura cooked for us one night after a full day of activity. Delicious. Our stay at Laura's was a highlight of our NZ holiday.

What a beautiful slice of country life! We could have stayed for much longer - lovely home surrounded by hills and farmland, loved being close to farm animals and having long walks at our doorstep going out 2.5 hours. A little perk we couldn't get enough of was the farm fresh milk waiting for us in the fridge - and lots of other little touches here and there that made us feel right at home! Would love to be back one day 😍

We stayed here for a month as were moving to the local area - we couldn't have picked a better Air B and B!! Ruth and Regan were the most amazing hosts. The location is idyllic, close enough to everything you need a short but calm and beautiful surroundings. It is well equipped, clean and spacious. Ruth and Regan checked in regularly with us to make sure all was okay and to answer any questions we had about the place or the local area, and are super friendly and gracious hosts. They were also very accommodating with allowing us to stay with 2 pets that had travelled from the UK with us. Having morning coffee outside whilst listening to the zoo animals nearby is such a treat! We will recommend to any friends and family that visit us. A perfect place to stay when exploring Hamilton and the Waikato region!

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

Such a wonderful stay! The place was absolutely lovely—so warm, cozy, and the perfect little escape from the hustle and bustle of city. It was exactly what we needed to relax, unwind, and recharge. Every detail made us feel so welcome and cared for. We’re already looking forward to coming back again sometime soon. Warmest thanks once again for being such a gracious host! Cheers 💛

I came to waihi for work and needed a place to stay for a couple of days. Jonathan is very friendly and understanding about our needs and just able to communicate well with us. Internet connection is very fast because the Airbnb is using starlink. Small comfy place to stay at. Great to just unwind and relax. Thanks for allowing us to stay at the Airbnb Jonathan!

Seamless experience staying at Tom’s hideaway at Whale Bay. Communication was excellent and even catered for a slightly earlier check in which was super handy. The accommodation was easy to access but also nice and secluded. The outdoor spa was a real treat as the sun went down too. The wifi and tv worked great and the cooking facilities were all that we needed to cook dinner and breaky when we decided to. Would recommend to anyone looking for a secluded get away for two! Added bonus that we were able to bring our dog away with us too. Thanks Tom!

Caron’s Airbnb in Matamata was absolutely adorable — cozy, beautifully styled, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need. It truly felt like a home away from home. The location was great too — nice and quiet, yet just a quick 3-minute drive to everything in town. Caron is such a joy — warm, welcoming, and clearly puts so much care into making sure her guests feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend!

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!
