Kia Ora, pet-loving pals!

We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome you and your furry friends at our Host’d beautiful escapes. To make sure everyone has a purr-fectly delightful stay, here are a few pawsome guidelines:

Pet Paws-itivity: Please ensure your pet is well-behaved and friendly. We want all our guests, both two-legged and four-legged, to have a fantastic time!

Furniture Furr-ee: We love your pets, but our furniture prefers to stay fur-free. Please keep all pets off the furniture. Feel free to bring their favorite bed or blanket so they can feel at home.

Clean Paws Patrol: After a romp on the beach or a stroll in the garden, please give those paws a quick wipe. This helps keep our space cozy and clean for everyone.

Leash & Love: While exploring the property and playing on the beach your pet is fine off leash. However, please keep your pets on a leash when venturing through the township so they stay close by your side and don’t wander off.

Potty Protocol: Please pick up after your pet. Let's keep our outdoor spaces fresh and clean!

Quiet Time Tails: Just like our human guests, pets need to observe quiet hours too. Help us maintain a peaceful retreat by keeping noise to a minimum, especially during the evening and early morning hours.

Snuggle Spots: While the furniture is off-limits, feel free to create a cozy nook for your pet. Whether it's a favorite toy or a special blanket, make sure they have their own little corner to snuggle up.

Emergency Wags: If there’s a pet-related emergency, please contact our local vet, West Coast Vets - Hokitika Clinic +64 3 755 8361. They’re just a woof away!

We hope you and your pets have a tail-wagging good time! Thank you for helping us keep our space welcoming for all guests.
