Pets in Hamilton

“Susan went for her first stay with Matt and the other cats. It was a lovely clean facility with plenty of room and sleep pods for cats to find their own space. Highly recommend and it’s good to know there is a place available for when you want to go away.”

“Stunning hotel, that sits beside the lake for those that like going for walks or runs in nature, this is for you. They do have a gym and spa on-site though for those that don't want to leave the hotel. I have stayed here 3 times over the year and each room I have gotten, have always been very clean and have been stocked with everything I could of needed. The staff here from reception to the restaurant as well as the housekeepers are so Incredibly lovely. I highly recommend this place!”

“First time there yesterday - what an awesome facility! Dogs had a blast! Was wonderful for mildly reactive dog to have her own space & time to just have fun. Puppy was great with trying the agility equipment. And our senior gent did his usual wander around enjoying the smells. We will definitely be back.”

“Lovely stay! Classy accommodation! Amazing hosts! And the best part is the horse rides. Overall a beautiful property and will definitely revisit someday.”

“Very good. Very nice. I like it”

“Just ate at the cafe. Wood fired pizza was excellent, enjoyed a Greek Salad. A nice place to spend the evening, and have a drink after a day of hiking. A beautiful waterfall at the bottom of the drive. Would definitely pop round again!”

“Was my first time on a overnight hike. Went with the family and really enjoyed it. Took 3.5hrs to walk up from by krangahake gorge(ohinewai fal). Amazing views, river walks and many waterfalls to see. Even got to see glow worms at night. Didn't stay in hut as was fully booked but stayed in tents which made it more amazing.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We family of 4 people went to buy vehicle from Taupō to Hamilton and we decided to break for lunch. We read such fabulous 5-star reviews that we thought we would try the Welcome Indian Takeaway Restaurant — and it did not fail us at all! The food was just amazing. For having traveled so far, each of the meals that we had ordered was just full of real flavor — in all seriousness, it was some of the finest Indian food we'd ever had in our whole lives. Nicely prepared, beautifully spiced, totally unforgettable and price is so reasonable which anyone can effort compare to others restaurants. The food was equally impressive. The staff were welcoming, polite. Special mention to Bikash for excellent hospitality service — he made us feel so welcome and proved his excellent hospitality service. If you are in Hamilton or even just passing through, this is an absolute must-visit destination. You will understand why so many people give it 5 out of 5 stars after you have experienced it yourself. We will return, again and again! Krishna Sharma”

“The apartment was an unexpected pleasure to stay in. I thoroughly enjoyed everything and the service was an A+. I enjoyed eating over the road and could not resist trying the highly recommended fish from the nearby wharf. To our surprise, as we did not realize the sea in front of the Silos was so tidal, when we turned the lights out we could people spearfishing under headlamps just in front. Amazing.”

“Pretty much perfect. Coffee is spectacular. Food is brilliant. Service and atmosphere is welcoming and clean.”

“This is a great nature walk for people of all ages and great for dog owners except those who don't adhere to the rules by letting there dogs of the leash which I saw today while walking my dog it only takes one incident of an attack of any kind and legislation will bank dogs from entering the park there are plenty of signs informing dog owners that dogs must be on a leash at all times while in the park and for those few who ignore this simple rule jeopardize the park for the rest of us dog owners who use the place to exercise our pets thanks lady you know who you are”

“Kind and caring, great communications and wonderful staff. They ensured amazing care was on hand for our dog”

“Sue is the best groomer in town. My dog struts out of there after his grooming with head held high as he knows he looks great, so funny to see. The Vet gives her the thumbs up too. Pic is Leo taken a week after grooming.”

“Our beloved dog passed away late at night. Dan came out after hours and I found out he didn’t charge for it. Thankyou very much we appreciate it”

“We stayed for two nights at the beautiful Awa Retreat, what a lovely place to stay, the hosts Cathy and Murray are so friendly it is like meeting old friends, the apartment is clean and tidy and has all the comforts of home, the breakfasts are beautiful and the wild bird life just outside the property is just delightful. The location right beside the Mighty Waikato River is perfect, a stroll along the walkway was very relaxing and we enjoyed seeing the native trees flourishing in this pretty spot. We are happy to recommend Awa Retreat and will stay again next time we come to Hamilton. Thank you Cathy and Murray for opening your lovely home to us. Cheers Joanne and Peter”

“My old dog loves his raw essentials food. Given him a second lease on life”

“Sadly, I recently had my cat Gizmo, put to sleep. Matt and his team were so respectful and caring, talking to him quietly and calmly the whole time. Thank you sincerely - Gizmos mum xxx”

“Very lovely and caring staff who supported us when we had to make the tough decision to put our dog to sleep. We appreciated their flexibility, kindness and time.”

“Had to say goodbye to our best boy. Broke my soul. Raglan Anexa were really there for us. Supportive and caring. Anexa Ngaruawahia is our normal vet but our cat required an urgent appointment which sadly ended with an unexpected euthanasia :-(”

“It’s not often that a place you stay at ticks all the boxes, theres always something wrong or a bit weird, but not here. The Breakfast provided (with home made elements and local produce from growers markets) was excellent, the beds and pillows were great and super comfy (this is something I often find disappointing at hotels) , and the bathrooms were just like a 5 star luxury hotel. John and Kay + their friendly dogs were the perfect hosts, and in a way it was like staying with friends. They provided a cot and high chair for our 9 month old baby, plus made the main area safe for him to roam around in (and tolerated his yelling throughout the night) The surrounding bushland and the serenity emanating from it cannot be accurately described, just book a few nights here and experience it for yourself!”

“Fantastic motel! The rooms had everything we needed and more and were very clean, tidy and modern. The owners were friendly and helpful with recommendations on places to visit and where to eat out. Would visit again for sure.”

“Always make room for me if one of my dogs are off color and listen to what I am telling them”

“Fantastic location in Morrinsville, 5 minutes walk from some good restaurants including a delicious Thai meal. The room was so spacious, beautifully clean, comfortable, quiet.”

“Thank you to the wonderful team at Vetora who helped us see Molly through her final days as comfortably as possible. We also appreciate the time you all took send us a very thoughtful card with your personal sympathies and well wishes. Special thanks to Hayley who kept us going every step of the way, and all the nurses who kept Molly topped up with hugs and cuddles during her vists.”

“I had such a great stay here last week! Travelling for work is never fun but having such a clean and comfortable room made being away a bit more enjoyable. Owners were lovely and friendly. The location is so close to everything. Would stay again!”

“What a pleasant surprise on a road trip home! Delicious coffee, super friendly staff, and the kids’ fluffies were a huge win the whipped cream and sprinkles! Lovely community vibes.”

“Great to deal with. Very friendly staff.”

“Good motel that is reasonably priced. Didn't use the pool and spa but kids were enjoying it. It was also pet friendly which was nice to see. Friendly dogs about with some owners.”

“Lovely, clean room with everything you need for a night away from home”
