"The cottage was roomy and gorgeous. Bed was divine. Kitchenette has basic tools for make a simple meal, although the cafe/bar also offers delicious salads, pizza, and platters. The tasting included in your booking is really wonderful. We enjoyed walking around the vineyards and grounds after everyone left in the evening and seeing the sunset on the hills. We were biking, so it was a convenient starting place to the day."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a pet-friendly hotel in Wānaka cost?
You can find pet-friendly hotels in Wānaka from CA $176 with Expedia. Staying at a pet-friendly hotel offers a convenient and welcoming experience for travellers who don't want to leave their furry companions behind. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Wānaka is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
The best area to stay in Wānaka for pet-friendly hotels is generally around the town centre and along the lakefront, as this offers the most convenient access to amenities and walking areas.

The Wānaka town centre is built around the southern end of Lake Wānaka, with Ardmore Street and Helwick Street forming the main retail and dining hub. Many accommodation options here are within walking distance of the lake, local parks, and dog-friendly cafes. This central location is ideal for couples travelling with their pets, as it provides easy access to lakeside strolls and local eateries, many of which offer outdoor seating suitable for well-behaved dogs.

Further along the lakefront, heading towards Penrith Beach and the Bremner Bay area, you'll find more accommodation choices that often cater to pets. This area is a bit quieter than the immediate town centre but still offers excellent access to the lake and its walking tracks.
How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Wānaka?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones.When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
What pet-friendly activities should we do in Wānaka?
The best pet-friendly activities in Wānaka largely revolve around its extensive network of walking and cycling tracks, as well as its beautiful lakefront.

For active travellers with dogs, the lakeside tracks are an excellent choice. You can stroll along the shore of Lake Wānaka, soaking in the views of the Southern Alps. Many of these tracks, like the Millennium Walkway, are well-maintained and offer easy access to the water's edge for a refreshing dip. There are also several shorter, well-marked trails around the town that welcome dogs on leads.

Couples looking for a relaxing outing with their pet will enjoy the designated off-leash areas, such as the one near the Wānaka Recreation Centre. These provide open spaces for dogs to run and play freely. Afterwards, many of the cafes with outdoor seating in the town centre are happy to accommodate well-behaved dogs, allowing you to grab a coffee or a bite to eat together.

For those who enjoy a more challenging hike, several trails in the area permit dogs, provided they are kept on a lead to protect local wildlife. Popular options include parts of the Outlet Track, which follows the Clutha River, offering varied scenery from forest to open plains.
What amenities should I look for in a pet-friendly hotel in Wānaka?
When selecting a hotel in Wānaka for you and your pet, look for amenities like food and water bowls, pet-friendly outdoor spaces and pet beds. You may find hotels that go the extra mile with pet-friendly dining options, treats and toys. It's also worth looking to see if there are any pet-friendly parks or walking trails nearby.
