Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Waikanae Beach

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.

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.

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.

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.

We loved our stay in this quiet, cosy house. Great location and lots of space for everyone. We will be back.

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!

Right from the start we had good communications and a friendly welcome. Beautiful position and views and quiet and tranquil. Was a restful and peaceful 4 days. We were welcomed by Donna as we drove up to the house and she walked us to our rooms and explained everything to us showing us around the flat. There was fresh milk in the fridge along with chocolates and fruit from the garden. Dean was friendly and helpful, and we had several long conversations over the weekend about the property and the Kapiti Coast in general. The purpose of our stay was to relax but also visit the area with a view to moving to the Kapiti area, all our expectations were fulfilled, friendly people, lovely beaches and scenery and great weather. Thank you, Donna and Dean,

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.

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

Thank you Sam for a fabulous stay. We really enjoyed ourselves. We would highly recommend and would love to visit again. Home was comfortable and clean. Beautiful surroundings, and our little dog Boh loved it too. We loved the little welcome touches. Thank you for being an amazing host to me and my family.

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

Lovely hosts. Well located. Easy to find, even easier during daytime ( we arrived in the dark). Clean and comfortable. Thank you Ngaire.

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.

A lovely stay with Catherine in a very well set up cottage. The highlights must be mentioned individually, this is such a lovely property: sizeable and well fenced yard, gorgeous wee deck, super comfortable and warm bed, kitchen, dining, and living room areas all wonderful, and a spacious bathroom make this such an amazing place to stay, along with the rural property and the peace and quiet that goes with it. Such a good sleep in a very warm cottage. Will keep on my list for the next time I'm back in the area!
