Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Tararua District

Amy had milk for me in the fridge when i arrived and cereals, which was a lovely touch. The place is quaint, had everything i needed, and Amy had great local info at hand, which was appreciated. Was perfect for a gateway and was exactly what i needed.

one of my all time favourite holiday stays in the north island, loved sharing it with friends this time. Simple in the best possible old school kiwi bach sense, but with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Wonderfully remote to get away from it all, beautiful scenery and fantastic outdoor space to relax in any weather.

Amazing house. Would absolutely suit a large group perfectly. Two minute walk to town. Letitcia was an absolutely amazing host, right from the beginning. Best communication ever and so responsive.

myself and grandchildren loved Cecile's place..homely and has everything our lil family needed even the extras of brekky stuff, spreads, bread, milk ..truly appreciated when showing up with X4 young children ..We had a dip in pool abit cool at this time of year but refreshing ..

A great large, spacious house that is accommodating in a super convenient, central area. Could not recommend enough

Lovely home and lovely owners. Very reaponsive and flexible. Will use again of needed.

We absolutely loved the location, farm setting and peaceful and quiet relaxing atmosphere. The area has great little day excursions, an added Anzac Day bonus for us in Pongaroa. Perfect couple of days.

Good location. Beautiful house both garden and interior decorations. Recommend to stay if you have a big family traveling together.

We had to make an emergency trip back to NZ after the sudden passing of a beloved family member. Sarah’s home was perfect for our big group, close to amenities and not far from whanau and friends. The house was very homely, clean and inviting. We loved the spa, it helped us all unwind after our long stressful days. Sarah was very responsive when I messaged in relation to questions whilst we visited. We would definitely book again!

To Tim & Sarah Thanks heaps for the awesome time we had at your home , enjoy the outdoor games ....our Softball Whanau were very jealous and impressed with photos we showcased about our stay and would love to book for next softball Tournament and how we found your beautiful retreat, on Airbnb plus how close it was to Colquhoun Park.... Highly recommended lovely place to stay

Very nice space to stay in. Comfortable for our group and good fenced yard areas.

Excellent apartment, convenient, good communication and location.

Great place for families to go too. Beautiful home & lovely surroundings. Would recommend for everyone.

Great stay in Tokomaru! Communication with Marie was super easy, and the home was modern, clean, and well-equipped. The quiet, dog-friendly stay was a bonus, and it’s less than 30 minutes to the beach. Would definitely recommend!

This was a lovely peaceful retreat with our dog in beautiful surroundings. We are very grateful.

A wonderfully cozy cottage! What a great find! The cottage is comfortable, spacious and clean. I felt right at home. Dean and Annie were very friendly hosts, who took the time to chat with me and introduce me to their family and pets. I can highly recommend staying here :)

An absolute gem! Dwayne's home is beautiful, the views are amazing and it's incredibly private and quiet. The house is well maintained and has everything you need, we were there for 2 weeks and it was great! Dwayne was quick to respond to messages in the lead up to our booking, answered all our questions, and even met us at the house to give us a guided tour and detailed handover to ensure we were all set. He also checked in during our stay to make sure everything was going well. The house is spacious and would be great for large groups, beds are comfortable, bathrooms are modern and clean (and theres lots of them!) Honestly couldn't have asked for a better property or host!

Such a beautiful home for our family of 5. This house had absolutely everything we needed so we decided to stay home and enjoy it. we will totally be back 😊

Wonderful stay, Julie was a wonderful host. Home lived up to everything as listed

We stayed here with 12 friends for my husband’s 30th, and it was absolutely perfect. He loves native bush and birds, so this place was a dream. The house feels like a fairytale—spacious, warm, and beautifully designed. The kitchen is well-equipped and flows easily to the patio, where we barbecued and dined outdoors. There’s a handy kitchen window for passing food outside, and both indoor and outdoor tables made it easy to adapt to the weather. The property sits on 7 acres of native bush with walking tracks, birds like piwakawakas following us, and a magical glow worm walk at night. There's an outdoor fire area with couches, ambient lighting, and a speaker system that connects throughout the house and outside. It’s perfect for reconnecting with friends and nature. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and so grateful. Huge thanks to the hosts for the clear communication and thoughtful touches. If you're thinking of booking—do it. You won’t regret it.
