Matamata-Piako District pet-friendly rentals

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.

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.

It was so relacing The paddocks around us was refreshingI would definitely book agsin when staying up there

Great location, cute cottage with everything you need. Owners were lovely, lots of extra touches with thoughtfully stocked breakfast supplies. Quiet and relaxing. Had a blast with my dog Vox, exploring the great walks 2mins away. Thanks for a lovely weekend (and lots of pats for Vox).

The property was excellent for us and our show dogs. They loved the place and enjoyed their own sleeping quarters in the dog trailer with air conditioning. Also enjoyed the quite farm & huge sandy area for the dogs to exercise. Would stay here again.

Lovely place, so cosy and comfortable - everything has been thought of! Would definitely stay again.

Love it!!
