A great spot to bring your dogs! Lots of dog friendly beaches and places to eat. The place itself has a great backyard for dogs to roam and explore and their dog Luna is a lovely playmate for morning zooms. There is even a little dog bath the hosts have made from local streams, plus a fence on your deck to contain smaller dogs. A long line or decent recall is best for smaller dogs once you let them roam, or you can close the gate to contain medium - large dogs. The house has everything you need and is private, and you get lovely sunsets and very peaceful starry evenings. Definitely visit Ruapuke beach when it’s cool with the dogs, or Wainui reserve when it’s hot for some shade and cool streams. Love the artisan bakery, raglan roast, and the gelato at the food department. Great hosts who are very responsive, friendly and helpful. Te Toto gorge lookout and the drive is a stunner, bridal vail falls are gorgeous (no dogs though). Perfect for an affordable getaway with the pups!
