Dog-friendly in Waterloo

It was in a very central location and was so well looked after

Drive way as a bit confusing but that’s literally it

Spacious house, lovely to have woodburner fire plus gas heating, excellent detailed notes about the property, the area, easy to contact hosts, lots of interesting furnishings and best of all - a secure space for our dog and a feeling he was really welcome. Library. Coordinated linens. Generous supplies.

A very minor extra would have been a better lamp or light for reading in bed! But I didn't have time for that luxury anyway.

Very clean, loved the bedding, big open kitchen perfect for large families

Home away from home Lovely big kitchen Great fireplace Comfortable beds

Spacious rooms, well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Had some cooler weather but the gas heater and wood burner fire kept us warm.

Was like a home away from home. Easy to have our Cavoodle travel with us, as it has a fenced off area. Great heating for a villa, plenty of space, kitchen had everything we needed. Comfortable beds and great showers. Close walk to the park for exercise.

Great Location, Lovely House, hosts easy to deal with and a lovely neighbour. Beds were comfy and the shower was awesome! Will definitely visit again.

It was a lovely spacious house with off road parking. There were multiple sources of heat and a full kitchen. Two bathrooms was amazing with multiple people.

So big with lots of room. Was very clean and came with everything you needed. We traveled from Australia so was so nice to know what you needed was available at the house. My kids enjoyed their stay and would love to come back again

Would have been nice to have some outdoor seats available as there was a nice day, to sit outside with a morning coffee but wasn't a drama just a suggestion.

The property had two off street parking spots and was spacious with a fenced outdoor area. The house had a really nice homely feel.

The shower and vanity in the ensuite were small but usable.

Was a lovely homely atmosphere. The fire was fantastic. Nice big service area in the kitchen. Comfortable bedding. Oh wow that shower..

We liked it a lot. Happy to come and stay again in the future.

Easy location to get to the motorway with plenty of food options nearby. Very quiet considering it’s on a busy road. Fenced outdoor space and everything we needed inside.

The only suggestion I could make would be to supply a better frying pan as there is a great gas cooker but but other than that everything was great.

Love how dog friendly it is. We always try to stay here on route to South Island as it is also only 20mins to ferry.

Fantastic location, very clean property and well equipped., quickly response from the hosts.

An outside washing line

Old house smell

Good space, 3 bedrooms and being able to bring our dog - location was excellent, very close to the train station. Well priced.

One of the single beds is very hard - luckily we didn't need to use it.

Great for a group. We had three couples.

Fire place was a must. Nice and warm once going. Communication re key access/parking etc excellent. Owners very accomodating with transport info etc.

We loved we could bring our fur baby massive bonus, Has really character being an old villa lots of thought put into things

The king single beds were pretty firm but depends on what you like

Good being off main road, had everything we needed

Skylight not good when becomes daylight and blind on it not in good shape. Found bed a bit uncomfortable/hard

Good size, good amenities, great location, very warm.

Open plan living

No coffee machine

Beautiful home! Plenty of space to relax. We didn't take our dogs this time but would be perfect for dogs

A very welcoming house with everything needed when away from home. Perfectly positioned for our needs, very central. Quiet position back from road. Parking for one car. Big rooms, great beds. Thank you.

Really welcoming. Clean, very comfortable. Loved our stay

We could take our dogs Everything we needed onsite Hosts responsive The neighbour was really kind and let us park in her driveway Easy to find Close to the venue we had an event at Warm and cosy home away from home

Everything was perfect

Awesome place to stay, quiet and a handy location

The lock box was easy to find. The code was correct and the keys were inside.

Nothing

This house is in a great location, is very clean with everything you could possibly need, from bedding and towels to kitchenware, board games, books and more! It has a lovely atmosphere and we would definitely book this house again.

Everything. Was an awesome home.

House was spacious, extremely clean and tidy, having 2 bathrooms was handy, main bathroom was large and had underfloor heating, large gas heat pump in hall was very effective, electric blankets were provided and as it was a chilly day were appreciated plus lots of heaters for each room. Was great we could bring our dog. Hosts promptly responded to my phone call regarding a question I had and were very friendly. Directions to locate the lockbox were very clear and we located it straight way.

Nothing as the owners obviously take a real pride in their property!

Very neat & spacious house. Loved the fireplace & big kitchen.

😃 Loved it all, but some salt & pepper in the kitchen would bave been awesome and skylight in the bedroom let's in a lot of light in the early morning, but no biggie.

Space for dogs, clean and well presented

Felt like home.

Location was ideal. Easy access to property. Beautiful home with lots of space.

Dog friendly and tidy.

Lovely comfortable home.

Plenty of room & comfort.

Lovely kitchen area - would be great for dogs

The heating - if in winter you offer firewood you have it in house , would recommend adding more instructions on how to use heater and oven . Also it would be lovely to have at least 4-6 teas bags etc if offering esp if house is for 6 - its the little touches that make a difference

It felt like a home away from home. Very comfortable, warm, spacious, plenty of room for everyone. Everything we could need in the cupboards to cook meals.

Friendly hosts who answered questions very quickly! Clean, cozy house, comfortable beds. A very enjoyable stay.

Lovely fire and comfortable. Would be great for dogs.

It was spacious and comfortable

Awesome facilities and friendly hosts

Not applicable

Good location for our needs, neat and tidy, comfortable beds and great hosts! Hosts supplied dog beds and dog treats, which I thought was such a lovely touch.

Great communication from the hosts and nice touches inside like toiletries and coffee/tea provided. The house is very spacious and welcoming and feels like a home. The location was great, and we found it relatively quiet despite being on a busy road. The off-street parking was a bonus.

Given the age and layout of the home we found it quite cold and definitely needed to have the heaters running most of the time to keep the bedrooms at a comfortable temperature. Heaters were provided though so it wasn't a problem.

Everything, it was a nice quiet place reachable to things we needed. It was a last minute stay and we were welcomed so much instructions were clear house was beautiful and the area is definitely beautiful. Would definitely recommend this place

Absolutely nothing

I loved the location of this property. This house is beautifully presented, spacious, clean and welcoming. It felt like a home away from home and we very much appreciated the huge amount of kitchen and lounge space. We brought our Griffon with us and she loved the fenced section being able to enjoy the sun all day long safely. Highly recommend 👏👏

That our stay was not long enough lol

This is a comfortable spacious nicely renovated villa, and the location was great for us as we were visiting family who live nearby. Convenient in the rainy weather to have a washer/drier. Great coffee machine!

Just some minor attention to detail with the cleaning (microwave, oven, windows) and a bit more cutlery and crockery so you don't have to run the dishwasher 1/2 full, would have been good :)

Spacious , private , sooo good!

Good location to shops, quiet location. Very comfortable beds. Loved the dog treats left by the host.

Homely, very clean, modern decor, quiet, easy access and great communication from hosts. Would 100% stay there again.

This is an entire house and amazing value!!!

The property is set back from the street . A quiet setting. No street noise. A small garden patio and a side deck. Ample room for parking right up to the door. Large Kitchen has all necessary appliances and cookware . You need to bring your own condiments and spices. Beds were comfortable. The owners were friendly and helpful and quick to respond to our phone call

Hassle free exactly what was stated clean and modern, great communication

Spacious well maintained and clean. Close to neighbours and designed to assure privacy

Dog friendly, great off street parking. Large kitchen + lounge. Found the place a great base.

Beautiful and very spacious house.

Nothing not to like!

Excellent layout. Nice big couch to relax. The beds were comfortable. The water pressure was amazing. For a home that has had dogs in it, it smelt clean, and I would have never guessed dogs had been there. The heater in the hall way is fantastic! If you're looking for somewhere during the winter, I would recommend this home. We turned it on before going out to take the chill off, and when we returned approx an hour and a half half later, the entire home was beautiful and warm. Over all we had a great stay and I would happily come back!!

Not a dislike, more of a suggestion. Need lamps in the room with the 2 single beds and the main bathroom window was rattling during the night when the wind picked up.

After a long day of travel of ferry delays and a rough sailing, we arrived to the property with all the essentials a family needed. Due to our delayed sail and rough trip through the cook strait, we had very little time to pick up our morning coffee essentials, so when we arrived, we were so happy to see the little extra touches, such as bedding, soaps, teas and coffee! As well as a little treat for our Stanley (bichon frise shih tzu). We were extremely exhausted with over 11hrs travel and waiting, so we were able to come in, settle everyone and get a good night rest. Beautiful home, very spacious, and catered to our needs. Location was great, not far for the city and to visit our loved one in Akatārawa cemetery before travelling home to Whangārei. We really appreciated a home that could cater for our Stanley who was travelling with us, so thank you very much. Not many places cater to our fur babies. He enjoyed the doggie bed too, although we had his one on board with his, he very much enjoyed the bed offered for his stay.

It took a bit of navigation seeking the dry function for the washer/ dryer, but got there in the end. I was trying to find instructions for the washer/dryer but Google helped also.

Loved the extra pieces for the dog - so cute!

The carpet could have been cleaner in a few spots - but thats not a major.

totally dog friendly, even left some treats, a bed and toys for our puppy to enjoy. Plenty of space to relax before our ferry.

Nothing..

spacious living area Excellent service

Location was great.

Beautiful Home, quiet location, was perfect for our family of 6, lots of space, very clean and comfortable. Great indoor outdoor flow. The property is situated in a convenient location, close to all local amenities.

Spacious and comfortable house!

Beautiful large house. Lovely facilities. So warm with the heater and fire. Dog allowed inside and property well fenced. Off street parking

Nothing

I liked that I could bring my dog, which is the reason I booked. Lots of special touches e.g dog bed, bowls, treats etc Very well equipped. Warm and cosy.

There wasn’t really space to toilet my dog on site. No off street parking or parking on street front. I was worried my van may get broken into. Also, a reasonable distance to carry bags etc to cottage, especially as raining on arrival and departure unfortunately.

We loved the kitchen

Crumbs on the floor by the bed and someone's eyelash on the sheets.

Beautiful house that was nice and cosy with plenty of room for everyone. The 2 bathrooms were good for the group of us that stayed. The owners left welcoming snacks and had space for a dog if needed. Very easy to access the house and in an east to reach location!
