BIG DOGS Homestay

The cabin is rustic, small but cosy with views to die for. We run a homestay for BIG dogs - all screened lovely fur babes whose owners are travelling like you. You need to be comfortable with dogs around - in fact you are welcome to bring your own! The river is a short walk away. There is 4.8 hectares for you to explore or drive to many vineyards/hiking tracks close by, and only 20km from Wanaka.

We had a fantastic stay! If you’re a dog lover, you’ll have an absolute blast here. All the dogs staying over were super well-behaved and got on great with our own. The cabin was cozy, comfortable, and had a great kitchen with everything we needed.I’m not usually one to write reviews, but this place is seriously underrated. Highly recommend!

I was travelling with my Cocker spaniel who was initially a bit nervous of all the other big dogs but was very quickly in amongst it all and loving the attention
