Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Whakamārama

Lynley’s holiday home is spacious and perfect for large families/groups. The home is well presented and well designed. It is a lovely place to relax and has excellent spots for everyone to come together.

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!

A very spacious home in a quiet street. Was great to be so close to the beach. Comfy beds & furniture. Would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay here! The view was incredible and it was so quiet! There was practically no light pollution so we had great star gazing. We were far enough from town that we didn’t hear cars but close enough that it was easy to get to any destination we wanted. One of our top Airbnb locations!

The unit have all the stuff we need for the trip. It was last minute to book it in and the host responded to my queries real quick. They gave us clear instructions regarding the unit. The place itself was near to waihi beach which was fabulous and my dog Tella really loved the place. It had rain too and even if we needed to stay inside we can still chill indoors with board games etc. The place was really big and it can accommodate a bigger family too. We had a great time.! 😃 Thank you TPM Holiday Team for accommodating us. ❤️😃

Had a lovely stay here. House was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable, nice sheets and towels. Great to be able to bring our dog with us, fully fenced garden was perfect. Lots of board games, books and things to keep us busy on the rainy days. Tanya was lovely and met us at the door, we were given a tour and all the info we needed, including a quick rundown on the local restaurants and shops. Location was very good, close to everything but far enough away to be quiet. We appreciated being able to put the car in the garage as well. Would definitely recommend staying here 😊

Great location near the beach and family friendly house with a backyard full of toys. Also near great coffee/lunch spots. Comfortable beds and good curtains. Outside deck and the house overall could use an upgrade as its all outdated and worn thin.

Loved this little spot. The home was a well maintained Bach with thoughtful design of furnishings and accessories. Very clean and tidy. Great linen, comfy beds. Stephanie was quick to answer any communications prior. Despite disappointing weather, meaning we couldn’t be out on the water or taking walks nearby, it was a cozy cottage to be settled in for the weekend for relaxation.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The place was beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We especially loved the pool—it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The hosts were fantastic—friendly, responsive, and made sure everything was just right. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

great place to stay. the owner had great communication and understanding of our requests

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!

Nicola went above and beyond for me and my friends for my 40th birthday. The house has so much character and so much to do. The tennis court and swimming pool were an added bonus on top of everything else. The house had everything we needed. Great place for everyone to enjoy.

Beautiful stay. Excellent host. The animals were so lovely too. See you again soon 😊

Five of us spent two nights here and it was fantastic. Lovely home, lots of space for everyone to spread out, amazing location- we walked to the beach easily, and to the shops and restaurants in The Mount. Would 100% stay here again! Also, Sienna was extremely helpful and easy to reach. Loved everything about our stay.

Danielle’s home was immaculate, peaceful and way bigger than the photos make the house look! There was plenty of space to lounge around and the swimming pool and well kept grounds were an added bonus.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Craig & Jens Place. It was easy to find and in such a beautiful location, Every thing you could think of had been catered for. Craig was so lovely and really enthusiastic about showing us around, felt very honored to meet and play with Major and Parker ( the 2 dogs) We would love to come back in the warmer months for a swim in the stream.

We had a great time with our puppy at Alison and Alan’s place. Beautiful property for our pup to run around without any worries. Room was clean and comfy with good amenities. Highly recommend staying at Pyes Pa Rural Retreat! Thanks Alison and Alan for your friendly hospitality

Hilary and Rob are fantastic hosts. Hilary is super friendly and accommodating. I simply inquired if there is a microwave at the place to heat up takeaway food (no big deal if there isn’t one), she went out of her way -and bought a brand new one before we checked in. We were amazed by her kindness and effort, we really appreciated it. The place is very peaceful with stunning view, highly recommended! Thank you Hilary and Rob for a fantastic stay 😊 Cheers, Ben and Rita

Just when we thought Airbnb hosts couldn’t get any better, we spent our King’s weekend at the Harbour Drive Hide Out. Paul & Fiona are the best yet! They made their home so welcoming to us from the moment we stepped in the door, it was unforgettable. They even prepared treats and a doggie bed for our paw-baby! Thank you so much!!! We will be back next year so please have your massage chair ready!! 🥹🥰

Great host. Great place to stay - so great I extended my stay here and have recommended for future coworkers that will visit Tauranga for work!

A fabulous little sanctuary so close to the beach. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t quite what we hoped, but that didn’t really matter as the place was so comfortable with great sofas a large Smart TV and fast Wi-Fi. The fully fenced garden made it a dream for our little fur baby, who loved zooming around the grass. The kitchen is well stocked with good quality pans and crockery and the plumbed fridge freezer with ice maker was great for G&T time! Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay & will certainly be booking again. The house was really well set up & warm on the cooler winter evenings. Everything was clean, well organized & easy to find spare blankets etc. Tania was easily contactable & friendly. We all left saying it was the best air bnb house we've stayed in by far!

A lovely little cottage at a great location. Andrew was a great host. It was dark and pouring with rain when we arrived, and Andrew had the heatpump on and door unlocked for us.
