Waipa District pet-friendly rentals

We met the most wonderful and friendly lady (the owner of the property), very welcoming and has done the property up beautifully. Lovely place, would love to stay again

The Shed was roomy and comfortable with great entertainment (pool table, games, tv, books, feeding the animals), good breakfast provided, a lovely park next door and so close to town (lots of dining options) and also handy to Hobbiton, golf, hot pools. Maria was an amazing host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and was so helpful with our dogs - we really enjoyed our stay.

Eight of us spent a weekend at this property and it was just perfect. The host was exceptionally welcoming and the villa was stunning. We made good use of the spa, enjoyed the fire place and explored the local area. We are keen to come back in summer to enjoy the bar area. Would highly recommend.

“Perfect spot for a small birthday celebration! The space was cozy and had a great vibe. Everything was clean and welcoming — made my special weekend even better!Great host!!

The property was lovely, very private and clean with lots of unexpected bonuses such as a television with Netflix, food in the fridge, games, books, and shampoo and conditioner to use. The host was exceptionally friendly, polite, and helpful, giving us recommendations for local sightseeing. I would recommend this property to anyone traveling to the Waikato region!!

This is the 2nd year we have stayed at Chalet in the Shire and it is still every bit as wonderful as our first time was. One the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on, clean and comfortable, a huge fenced grass paddock for the pooch to frolic in, plus breakfast items consisting of eggs, toast, jam, muesli, milk and fruit juice are stocked in the chalet upon arrival. The ice tray was full and a jug of cold water in the fridge ready to drink. It's this extra care that will keep us going back for years to come still. Thanks again Sarah.

We weren't quite sure what to expect, as we are not normally into the glamping style of accommodation. But we loved every bit of what this place had to offer. Peaceful, no TV, surrounded by nature, over looking lake, fishing rod, kayaks, BBQ, selection of fresh produce on arrival, no neighbours anywhere close, what more could you want for serious downtime. Being a bus it has 'bus' sized amenities so you have to be prepared for that. Having said that it had a full sized very comfortable bed. Also has bunks available. Being located in the middle of nature be prepared to have a few bugs, birds, rabbits etc running around, but that all adds to the charm. Loads of flat area for the kids to run around on or even the family dog (remember it is a working farm). We will be back next time we need more unwind time.

Was a great place to stay if you want to visit some locations around Hamilton. We walked to the shops and was much better than dealing with carparking, and we visited Hamilton Zoo. Feels quite private and the back yard is fully fenced. The house was well equipped, except we couldn't find the dvd player (and I misssed having my air fryer but I could take my own next time). Hope we can come back again sometime! Thank you for the stay.
