Are you travelling with your beloved cat or dog? Awatea is a pet friendly accommodation, so we welcome any pets (we've even had pet pigs stay!).

The resident dogs are highly social and love meeting our guests and their visiting dogs and animals. Our lifestyle block is also teaming with animals for you to pet and hand feed.

Dog friend accommodation in Kaikoura
"Lovely lifestyle property that our dog was welcome at. He had a blast running around outside with the owners dogs. Rooms were comfortable and spacious, with local toiletries in reusable bottles rather than single use! Staff was very helpful and friendly and 10/10 breakfast. Will definitely stay again."
