Planning a trip to Paihia with your dog? Several hotels in the Bay of Islands welcome pets, though policies vary. Budget-friendly options start around NZD 100 per night, while mid-range motels cost NZD 150-250. Most pet-friendly stays are in central Paihia or Haruru, within walking distance of beaches and the wharf. Look for properties offering free parking, kitchenettes, and outdoor spaces-essential for travelling with animals. Always confirm pet size limits and any extra fees before booking.
Top-rated options include Bay of Islands Holiday Apartments, which warmly accepts well-behaved dogs and features a private balcony with BBQ, free WiFi, and a hot tub set among native trees. Bay of Islands Holiday Park allows pets in camp sites and basic cabins, and offers a seasonal outdoor pool, playground, and river swimming. For budget-conscious travellers, Cook's Lookout Motel has ocean-view rooms with kitchenettes and two pools, while Alfa Boutique Motel sits just 100 metres from Paihia Beach with apartment-style units and a hot tub. Both may accommodate pets on request-check directly with the property.
