My husband, pup and I had a lovely stay in Kaiteriteri. The apartment is a great spot with a beautiful view and only a short walk down to an area on the beach where dogs are allowed! (May be seasonal).
We had a great meal in the little village.
The main Kaiteriteri beach and area is unfortunately not dog friendly. If you drive around to Mārahau there is a great dog friendly cafe though. :)
Would definitely recommend staying here.
