"The pet-friendly chalet was perfect for us and our Schnauzer. The secure grounds and balustrated deck meant we could relax knowing our dog was safe. The orchard walking areas were perfect for morning and evening walks. Finding quality dog-friendly accommodation near Kaikohe that actually welcomes pets isn't easy — Kerigold exceeded our expectations."
