Dog-friendly properties

Tekapo is a fantastic destination for dogs, with plenty of walks and outdoor cafe dining within walking distance from your holiday home.  The extensive, dog-friendly Tekapo Regional Park is right on your doorstep, and even includes a fully fenced dog park! 

Many of our properties are happy to host well-behaved, house trained dogs.  Most allow access to the entire property so they may be inside with you; others permit use of just the garage and outside grounds.  Check us out on the fantastic Dog Friendly New Zealand website!

To find available options, use the ‘SEARCH’ bar above, choosing the dog options from the ‘Advanced’ list:
>> Dogs welcome = permitted inside & out 
>> Dogs negotiable = permitted outside and in the garage only

We just ask dog owners to follow a few simple requests while staying;

• Bring your own pet bedding as dogs are not permitted on beds or furniture
• One dog only unless by agreement.
• Unless the property is fenced keep your dog leashed while outside
• Do not leave your dog inside the house unattended
• Ensure you pick up after your dog and dispose of it in the correct bin
• Dogs need to be booked in prior to arrival, and there is a one-off $20 dog fee.  

Please contact us to discuss the best option for you and your 4 legged friend.  Further details can be found on our FAQs page.
