Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Omihi

For our travels in NZ, this accommodation option popped up and it was something that truly captured our imagination. The uniqueness, the location, the experience. We are so happy that we added the Waipara Wine area and this place to our itinerary! What an experience! We truly loved it - from arrival to departure. Through the very helpful arrival instructions, we found Russell's Cabin with ease. Privately located next to a winery, and within easy reach of Christchurch. It was stunningly situated high in the valley, overlooking an exceptional view and the stunning planting around the property. We loved each of the four little houses, comprising a living room, two bedrooms and a toilet/sink room. The outdoor shower and bathtub were exceptional and so liberating! Our sleep was very comfortable, and with the large cabin windows - it was like sleeping with a massive and changing oil painting at the end of the bed. The kitchen is basic and outside - but my husband loved it nonetheless and ensured a delicious dinner and breakfast. For breakfast, sumptuous bread, butter and homemade apricot jam were provided, which we supplemented by scrambled eggs and bacon that we had brought with us. It was so relaxing to enjoy these meals outside, ditto with the outdoor chairs for a pre-dinner drink or two. As the sun set, and the stars came out - the privacy combined with the nature made the whole evening so special. In all, such wonderful memories were created and we would highly recommend Russell's Cabin to all!

Loved being able to walk to a couple of vineyards nearby. And after a lazy lunch to relax back at the cottage, with a view on to the vines.

Beautifully decorated, spacious and full of character.

Beautifully presented & spacious with gorgeous peaceful views. Huge bathroom with excellent disabled shower access & wonderful free standing bath that did fit two people! Everything was comfortable and worked together seamlessly, with great communication from the hosts to back it up. Thank you.

Poached fruit and freshly homemade bread served with homemade jams. What's not to like? My room in the historic house was spacious and comfortable with beautiful views over the extensive garden. Jane and Stewart were delightful, caring hosts.

I had my first caravan experience, and it was absolutely fantastic! The caravan was perfectly equipped with everything I needed, including a TV, ceiling window, three comfortable beds, a fridge, and even a table outside for a relaxing time. The shared kitchen was incredibly spacious and spotless, making it easy and enjoyable to prepare meals. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, always ready to assist with anything needed. Overall, I had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great caravan experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice and private with easy access to the beach.
