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!

Beautiful location and the hosts were very communicative and kept in touch the whole way.

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.

Very comfortable and warm place. Loved how close we were to everything. Definitely booking again.

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!

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.

We had a very comfortable stay. House was warm and inviting. Breakfast provisions were amazing, from home made sour dough bread and pancakes, to cereals. The house is obviously a labour of love, with lots of interesting nick nacks. Thanks Becky

Andreas place was amazing. My Mum and her friends had a lovely time. It was peaceful and quiet, stunning location, classic kiwi bach. Lovely little details, and extras. Andrea was responsive and helpful. Thanks, we will definitely be back.

Lovely stay, felt like home. Warm and welcoming. Added bonus of portable cot use and toys to entertain the kids. Has all you need to enjoy and relax. Spacious enough for my Whanau. Very responsive helpful hosts.

Barbara’s house was in a nice quiet location. It had everything that we needed for our stay and the house and section was child friendly. Thank you for your hospitality.

I proposed to my beautiful fiancé in the beautiful green house. We got to relax in the warm cozy tiny home and then woke up to 1 hungry alpaca and 1 moody one (they both were adorable) we will forever remember our stay. As it marks the beginning of our eternal love. Thank you for being an amazing Host even from afar. 🖤

Great overnight stay at Julia’s. Easy to find and check in. Julia was very accomodating and easy to communicate with. Thanks for having us!

Absolutely perfect for a night before a early ferry ride . Was super accommodating for our Dog 110% recommend
