Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Hawke's Bay

This is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met. We encountered a tricky situation, and the host set off from Auckland at 1 AM to help us. This was my parents’ first trip to New Zealand, and the experience left them with a great impression and deep gratitude. I highly recommend this place—you’ll get an amazing house with convenient access to many attractions.

Our stay at Endsleigh Cottage was wonderful; it had everything we needed and was situated on gorgeous grounds with a genuine old world charm.

Thanks for having us Martin!

Rhian's place was perfect for our stay, close to the shuttle to RnV for the kids and close to the beach for me. Great house, great location and great host!!

Perfect place to stay in Hawkes Bay, easy to get to Napier, Hastings or Havelock North. Beautiful wee cottage/villa that was clean tidy and welcoming with the comfiest beds. Outdoor area was great for the dogs. Easy to find and check in was seamless with clear instructions from Jo. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Hawkes Bay. We would love to stay here again on future Hawkes Bay trips.

We were looking for a home with lots of space for a family and a dog and Karina’s house was the perfect spot as we were able to book the cabin room so that we could have space and quiet for a young baby. The space is large and flexible for a family and the garden is a beautiful place to relax. Karina was a great host: friendly and helpful when we needed anything and she even baked us a welcome cake :)

What a lovely stay! A perfect house with everything you could need, and visits from a super cuddly cat - what more could you want? Very well located to reach Havelock, Hastings and Napier, as well as beautiful beaches to the South. If you stay here, do not miss Brown Dog Espresso in Haumoana!

The house was absolutely spotless. Kitchen flowed through to dining area and lounge and outdoors. Cute house wth lovely outdoor area. Two bathrooms a bonus. Katharine provided quick response to our query. Nice quiet spot.

Julie was so friendly and communicative, she made us feel right at home. So did Archie and Stevey the dogs, who we loved! The villa was larger than I expected and was perfectly set up for us. The location is ideal, close to the waterfront, wineries and cafes, and not too far from Havelock North for more restaurants, cafes and shops. Would recommend and would definitely stay again 😊 Thank you Julie for having us

We had such a lovely time at the property, thank you. Plenty of space, both indoors and outdoors - nicely decorated and homely. Fantastic heated swimming pool! The kitchen was really well equipped - the coffee machine was excellent. Also really appreciated the aircon on a hot day. Would love to come and stay again sometime, thank you.

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

This place was amazing! It's honestly like a little slice of paradise. The location is was very secluded and away from light pollution, which was perfect for astrophotography and also taking pictures of the local birds (the fantails get so close!). The complimentary breakfast and snacks were much appreciated, we didn't need to bring much ourselves since we mostly went out in the afternoon for lunch/dinner. TV (with chromecast) was a big plus for us to wind down while we settled up for the evening. The pool was readily available for us but it was a shame we didn't have time to try it out. And the BBQ stand was perfect for us to make dinner while we enjoy the outdoors with a campfire :) The stay was super comfy and cozy, I highly recommend this place if you are in the area!

Love our stay at The Pavilion! Such a beautiful location and so warm and sunny. Very fortunate to be able to bring my pup along too. She played in the garden and we took strolls down to the stream and the short walk to feed the chickens. I will definitely be back!

Maxines place was lovely and quiet and great place for a quiet getaway with our dog. Maxine communicated really well and made sure we had everything we needed.

This ia a unique place with the conversion of a shearer's quarters. The external access to each room was authentic to its past. The location was private in being on a farm up in the hills but still close enough to the coast or towns if desired. Communication was great and Hannah was flexible to our change of numbers and arrival date. Margot greeted us warmly and then left us to ourselves - perfect.

Peaceful, very practical facilities. Nice garden and view across the river to the ranges in the distance. Fantastic.

Richard and Joanie were wonderful hosts! My partner and I were tiki touring from Wellington to Auckland, and they gave us great advice for our trip. Their place was cozy, and the homemade cheese and milk was a delightful touch. Highly recommend!

This place is located about 8-10 mins away from downtown Napier and honestly, is worth it! There’s a bunch of cute shops and restaurants within minutes that may otherwise get overlooked. Highly recommend getting a booking for Thai Chef's Restaurant, just around the corner.

Perfect cottage in a beautiful very private setting. Would thoroughly recommend and have already decided to book again when we head East again.

A clean place to stay in a good location for visiting Gisborne and nearby beaches. Was great we could bring our dogs too! Marina gave us good advice on where we could take dogs and go to eat.

Our stay was perfect. We were delighted to be able to stay at short notice for 2 nights after our booked accommodation wasn’t up to standard when we arrived in Taupo. The communication was great. The house was as described, spotless and fully equipped kitchen. Short walk down to the lake. Thank you we would stay again

Truly peaceful spot to let go and relax. Highlights were the outdoor bath under the stars, everchanging big, open skies, and an adventurous off-road walk/hike to a very private beach and back. A beautifully appointed space with everything thought of for you so you can sit back and soak up the views. Beach is a few minutes drive down the road, breathtaking on arrival and an invigorating swim. Highly recommend.

Great, peaceful location. Walking distance to restaurants, reserve (park) with playground, and a beautiful beach. Matt & his family were great hosts. We enjoyed the afternoon chats in the sunny front yard..... and the Heinekens!

We had a beautiful stay at Jan's place. Felt right at home and I was so happy I could bring my dog with me and she loved the place too. Very cosy, private and peaceful. Lovely touch of having some food and drinks provided for us. Thank you for opening your home to us Jan and we really enjoyed our stay :)
