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.

A little slice of heaven!! We extended our stay twice because we loved it so much! We felt right at home, and super refreshed, we loved the decor and the layout of the home, walking distance to shops and amenities too! The host was very responsive and accomodating to all of our requests. Highly recommended! Thank you for having us ❤️

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.

Gorgeous home in amazing location. Have stayed twice now with my large family of all ages

Kim’s place is the ideal weekend getaway. It is close to everything and you can hear the ocean from the yard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to stay again next year!

An excellent Airbnb experience every time I booked here. Even had the fire roaring for when I arrived late evening.

Wonderful couple of days at the beach pod! Perfect location. Walkable distance to a well equipped Four Square, two wonderful cafes/restaurants open late, and just minutes from the beach! Lovely new pod with a gorgeous big, comfortable bed and an outdoor fireplace, BBq and outdoor bath. And dog friendly!! Great stay and would definitely recommend!! 😀

We had a great weekend. A lovely home for the whole family to enjoy. Very comfortable and a fabulous location. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful one-month stay! The host was incredibly accommodating, helpful, and friendly throughout our time there. Everything we needed was provided, making our stay comfortable and hassle-free. What stood out the most was the host’s genuine interest in ensuring guests had an enjoyable experience. They went the extra mile by sourcing additional puzzles and offering other engaging activities, on top of what was already available at the accommodation. Very respectful and thoughtful—highly recommended!

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

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.

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.

It was nice to have Janet & Ian meet us on arrival. The unit is a cosy self contained and private section in the downstairs area of their home. Very comfortable bed. Having off-street parking is a bonus.

Georgia's sleepout was an excellent facility. Georgia's communications and assistance were friendly and helpful...I have no hesitation in recommending Georgia and her sleepout to potential Airbnb guests.

What a fabulous find. We loved staying at this property and could have happily stayed longer. The property is well equipped, spacious, warm and cosy. This property was perfect for a long weekend away with lots of things to do. Close to the cafes, shop and perfect if you love the beach. Thanks Ellen! We will be back.

Staying at Chris’s Airbnb was a truly wonderful experience. The home was spotless, beautifully styled, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and at ease. Every detail felt thoughtful and welcoming — it was clear a lot of care had gone into making the space feel like a home away from home. But what made the stay truly memorable was Chris himself. From the beginning, his communication was warm, clear, and prompt. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. You can really tell when someone loves being a host — and Chris absolutely does. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. If you’re considering booking — do it. You’ll be in great hands and will leave with a smile. Thank you again, Chris — I look forward to returning someday!

We spent Xmas and new year here. The house has a great outlook over Kapiti Island and there is a comfortable homey lounge with a nice indoor/outdoor flow. The Pohutakawa’s next door were in bloom. We had the grandkids over and they loved the spa pool. There is a mezzanine off one of the bedrooms with an awesome amount of Lego. So, heaven for kids to go up there and have a bit of a play. Huge selection of board games etc and Texas Holdem poker was a hit with our crew. The oven takes a bit of a fiddle and a couple of go’s to get the hang of it. The driveway can be a challenge. We were mainly here to catch up with family, but enjoyed some of the local sights , including the car museum and the Barry Hadfield Nikau forest. Carolin is responsive and overall a great time was had by all.

An amazing place to stay, recommended to all! Perfect for a family of four. The location is really close to the beach, it’s nice and peaceful and they offer a bunch of items like bodyboards and balls etc to use at the beach. We will definitely be making another booking to stay there in the future.

Eloise and Richard's place is amazing! We felt right at home with Jorge helping us to settle in (and ofc Tiger 😽) The place is clean and has a nice ambiance, we love the kitchen and the living room (that comes with a fireplace). We really enjoyed our stay, thank you so much!

We had a wonderful stay. Natalie was a very good host. As soon as we arrived Cha Cha took us down to the river for a play. Samba the cat was very confident and fun too. The place is really nice and the tree house is super cosy and warm. In a safe and peaceful location. Would stay again.

Craig was incredibly helpful- he was very proactive in contacting us and making sure that we got everything we needed for our stay- he went above and beyond and we are so thankful! Will definitely be back

Loved my stay here. It really felt like a classic Kiwi Bach The beds were really comfortable and all the linen was high quality. Scott was very friendly and kind. We will definitely be back.
