Pet-friendly vacation 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!

Great place - very comfortable - lots of extra touches when we arrived - very welcoming to us and our dog. Lovely to walk into a lounge with the fire going on a cold evening.

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.

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 :)

An excellent Airbnb experience every time I booked here. Even had the fire roaring for when I arrived late evening.

Hidden gem in a beautiful spot - our only regret was not staying longer! It's close to Porirua/Paraparaumu, but involves a slightly steep winding gravel drive so feels like a world away. The surrounding native bush is stunning, and we loved all the cosy little touches (blankets, pre-prepared fireplace, coffee and milk etc). Lots of outdoor space, would be amazing for a longer family getaway in nature. Really appreciated the proactive comms from James & Emma too.

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!!

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 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!

We had a great stay at Nicole's cottage -- lovely and peaceful, and a great place to chill out. Natasha really enjoyed feeding the sheep, and the dogs were always keen for pats! Greytown is only a short drive away, and very easy to access.

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.

David was very friendly and addressed all the things that I had asked about, his wife, Christine was also very helpful, especially with supply of fresh eggs and vegetables, and Molly the dog has to get a mention, she also was very friendly. I can't say too much about the location because I'm an xpat kiwi visiting friends and family, however if you like shops with lots of nik nakky things then Greytown is the ideal place to explore.

We loved the tranquility and peace, and it was a great location near the beach. It's well set up and we loved the secure fences for our two Jack Russells. All in all, a very good choice for a leisurely weekend away from Wellington. It ticked the boxes.

This was a perfect for a weekend away. It is close to the beach and full of all day sun. The house was very clean and presented with lovely linen and touches. Rachel was so easy to deal with and very helpful. Thank you so much! We definitely recommend and look forward to returning.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and hope to be back Very peaceful and quiet Thank you so very much

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

Fantastic hosts and great house. perfect location to explore local park, beach, forest and fairy gardens. house was lovely and modern - clean, warm and had everything we needed. bonus we could bring our dogs. highly recommend

This is an awesome Airbnb. The pictures on the add do not do it justice. Lovely rural, peaceful setting. The house is super cosy but feels big at the same time. It has everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and everything is modern throughout. The outdoor space is great and it was an extra bonus to be allowed take our dogs. They loved running around the sage fenced garden.

Lovely tiny home nestled away in Kelson. Extremely peaceful and private. The greenhouse was an awesome piece, and for us a nice spot to play board games even during winter although you need to be dressed warmly. We were able to feed the alpacas which was quite a novelty! Priscilla was a great host. All communication was prompt and friendly, couldn't ask for more from a host. It's also only a 10 minutes drive from central Lower Hutt, so it's an easy drive out if you need supplies or want to head out for lunch or dinner.

we absolutely love Brendas space, we stay here everything we visit Otaki!! Feels like home and Brenda is amazing to deal with. Nga mihi nunui ki a ia mo tona manaakitanga ki a matou.
