How many dogs can I bring?
We have limited pet-friendly chalets. The number of dogs permitted depends on their size and behaviour. Please call us on 09 407 3200 to discuss your specific situation before booking so we can confirm we can accommodate your needs.
"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, and the orchard walking areas were ideal for morning and evening walks. Finding quality dog-friendly accommodation in Kerikeri that actually welcomes pets — not just tolerates them — isn't easy. Kerigold Chalets exceeded our expectations."
