Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Whakatane District

Totally recommend! Family friendly felt very at home and comfortable in a beautiful location! Management was very responsive and accommodating and No doubt will book again in the future!

We loved the location of the bach - easy walk to the beach. Had everything we needed and more for our stay. Well equipped kitchen to prepare meals. Would definitely stay again. Made for a great family focused holiday.

Lovely welcoming bach close to the lake. The photos don't do the house justice. It was very comfortable and well-decorated, plenty of space for a family of four, and nice to have a fire for colder nights. Kitchen had everything needed, including a barista-level coffee maker and baking supplies. Lovely sheltered deck for sitting in the sun. Lake Rotomā main beach is a few minutes drive away, it is clear and clean, great for swimming even in April. Our dog enjoyed his stay. Good to have a fenced back yard/deck. The road that runs alongside the lake was busier than we were expecting with cars and lorries. This didn't bother us and we slept well. The village store and cafe a couple of minutes' drive. Nice walks either end of the lake and Waitangi Soda Springs is 5 minutes away by car - well worth a visit for a hot soak, friendly welcome, simple but great vibes. Lake access from across the road for paddleboards. It was perfect for what we were after, a lovely relaxed holiday.

Was ideally located for us for a family event at Ohope Beach. Amazing Ohope beach is just across the road, and the Wharf and Store/Cafe are easily walkable. The house has a really relaxed beach vibe with a fantastic deck to enjoy. Place was clean and tidy - really clean and fresh linen and well stocked kitchen. Weather was sensational - after a couple of nights really felt like we’d had a holiday. Thanks…

We had a wonderful stay. Great place with plenty of room for family. Loved the sheltered outdoor area for a bbq and hanging out in the shade. Thanks for the stay. Would come again.

excellent location beautiful ocean views close to shops really relaxing atmosphere communication with host was perfect would love to stay there again.

It was a great place—clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and well-located. The host was friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!

Spacious home inside and outside and the dogs absolutely loved the enclosed space at the back. Felt at home.

Beautiful place. Nice big home and space for many. Loved that I could take my dog too. The home came fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. More towels would have been good because the weather wasn’t great for us to wash and dry but that aside I highly recommend this place

Had the best time! Perfect little place to get away to!

Ray was an excellent host, fast with replying and flexible. Had a great stay and will be definitely book next time I'm in Kawerau.

Great location for a holiday, right across the road from the beach.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful location - thank you AirBnB, Bachcare and house owners for allowing us to stay.

Janet is a wonderful communicator. She was extremely helpful throughout and we really appreciated all the help she provided. In terms of value for money, this was somewhat disappointing. While we were aware of the rules and preconditions of our stay before our holiday, having to cater for our own linens, towels, rubbish and recycling, etc. reduces our star rating and our value for money considerations.

Susan was an awesome host and we would stay there again in a 💓 beat. She was extremely helpful and responsive, the house was amazing and well set up for a pleasant stay, had everything we wanted including the spa and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

had a wonderful stay. Spacious kitchen and living room. plenty of outdoor space too. perfect for our family get away with extra mattresses for additional sleeping needs with younger kids. very peaceful neighborhood with playground a short walk away. 👍🏻

From my Mrs: My partner and I LOVED our stay. I was in awe of everything, we had a bath underneath the stars, had a nice hot meal in the little kitchen at the top — waking up to the nice golden light in the morning and being able to see Whakaari UGH perfection. The beach is a 7 minute walk away and it’s so cool! The horses there are beautiful. Just everything here was so good and relaxing, felt really sad to leave but definitely keeping this place as one of our go-to’s for some time away from home. Thank you, Sarah! Your cabin + everything was amazing ❤️ - Naia & Lez

Such a beautiful peaceful place surrounded by nature, Lauren was responsive when needing to contact her, the spa was beautiful especially under the stars. it was exactly what me and partner needed, perfect for a romantic getaway and to unwind. Bonus was leaving engaged 💍, we will definitely be back. Thank you again Lauren.

Liz and the whanau at sharks bay stay were so lovely, We arrived to a beautiful whare, clear easy instructions to get in & wow when you get inside. Absolutely stunning home and you can feel the warmth and love in the home. Liz was awesome, easy to contact and had everything we needed without me packing the kitchen sink, we made sure to utilise the beautiful backyard, spa and kids play area. The pushbikes and games and colouring ins kept everyone busy too. Beautiful area if you just want to relax and beach it with your whanau. This was a whanau trip for us so this whare was honestly perfect for us or your little family or big family. We look forward to our next trip down ! Cant thank Liz and whanau enough 🫶🏽 Great little week away from the North.
