Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Karori

Fantastic place to stay after a 5-hour drive. Host was very considerate and warmhearted. Everything was just what we need. Highly recommend it unless you don’t like a place felt like home.

The house was comfortable and inviting. Felt like a lived-in home and felt like we could totally make ourselves at home there. There was everything we needed throughout. Would very much recommend.

A beautiful house in a lovely location with views over the hills and trees. Such uplifting scenery to wake up to. The house is on the outskirts of Wellington in Thorndon which has its own great bars shops and restaurants. Easy walking distance to central Wellington. Close to the stunning Botanical gardens and the cable car. Fantastically equipped house with special treats like ground coffee, milk and a bottle of wine. We had a very happy and memorable stay here.

Lovely quiet location but close enough to enjoy the CBD. It’s a new build which is great for cold days (yay double glazing!), and we were happy to be able to bring our four legged friend along!

highly recommend to every body GREAT SPOT,TIDY CLEAN,PERFECT FOR ANYBODY

We stayed for a week and absolutely loved our time here. It really felt like a home away from home. There was everything we needed and Kate was quick to respond to any questions. Loved all of the birdlife and the walks to cable car and botanical gardens. We will definitely stay again next time we visit Wellington.

beautiful house, with garden and being very private with the front fence, entry by gate... we were in Naenae for a funeral, really appreciated to have the space to reflect and prepare ourselves for our last days with our sister/aunty/Nana.. Thankyou so Barbara for letting stay at St James..

Great location, great host, great accommodation. Exactly as described, well stocked with condiments, crockery, cleaning products (for you and the house). Simple, clear instructions. Once inside, surprisingly quiet. But do expect some road noise (look at the location). Ohtel pantry next door means barista coffee and breakfast literally steps away if you want. so close to everything and great views.

We had a lovely 4 night stay. The hosts have exquisite taste, the furniture and styling is unique, and makes this property feel like a home, and not some generic airbnb. The outdoor area is obviously a highlight, the pool got a lot of use, the kids absolutely loved it. Also the sauna was a real treat too. The indoor/outdoor flow was great, and created a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. The playground was just across the road, and the beach a 5 min walk. Thanks for having us, we will definitely be keen to return.

Such a great place to stay, perfect for our group. Lots of space, both as a large group but also breakout areas. Outdoors is stunning, great to wander around in the sun and fresh air, very quiet and peaceful - our dogs love it!! Well equipped throughout, kitchen had all the staples and plenty of serving ware for group meals, bedrooms were all fabulously set out, plenty of extra bedding and towels if needed. Lots of games to have fun with, plus the pool and tennis court. We had a blast, thank you for having us!!

Thank you, what a lovely and special family home, it made for a magical and relaxing xmas break. Beautiful deco home with bohemian vibes. A spacious garden area to play led to an ethereal private pathway to the beach which was dotted with wild flowers. Original deco elements retained in the bathrooms. Spacious rooms, comfortable beds with views. Would not hesitate to recommend. Many thanks.

Melleny's place is a great house for great family holidays and friends gatherings. Melleny is very friendly and gave use very useful instructions and advise about the house. The house is great with lots of space inside and outside, a well maintained swimming pool and a nice garage with tennis table, darts and fussball. We spent the new year there with friends and had a great time! The house is not far from Martinborough, Greytown, Feathertown, and lots of nature spots to explore. It was great to go see the sea lion colony down at Cape Pallister (1h drive). We hope to come back for future summer holidays!

A wonderful place, with stunning views and real peacefulness while being close to vineyards, restaurants and (important with a two year old) playgrounds. The hosts could not have been more helpful - thank you.

Right from the start we had good communications and a friendly welcome. Beautiful position and views and quiet and tranquil. Was a restful and peaceful 4 days. We were welcomed by Donna as we drove up to the house and she walked us to our rooms and explained everything to us showing us around the flat. There was fresh milk in the fridge along with chocolates and fruit from the garden. Dean was friendly and helpful, and we had several long conversations over the weekend about the property and the Kapiti Coast in general. The purpose of our stay was to relax but also visit the area with a view to moving to the Kapiti area, all our expectations were fulfilled, friendly people, lovely beaches and scenery and great weather. Thank you, Donna and Dean,

Have stayed here before when we have excess family staying. Rachael is really accommodating and responds quickly. We feel at home here and it super clean😀

Great house in a beautiful location. Excellent amenities, beautiful design, perfect for travelling with pups. A few notes: - The # of steps up to the unit might be underestimated by a factor of ~5. Not recommended unless you're reasonably fit. - The bedroom doors don't latch. There are hook-style locks provided....on the outside of the door. Not a huge deal, just means you need to shove something under the door if you want to keep the dogs from nosing their way in. - The water from the tap gets _really_ hot. This is great for some things (shaving) and less great for others (shower, dishwashing) Overall an excellent spot!

My 15 months old Minerva and I throughly enjoyed our stay at Emily’s place for various reasons. We went down for one night trip for a mission with Miri to do some paperwork for my girl, and I tried to plan everything around the schedule / our routine which meant asking Emily for a favour to have a later check out so Minerva can have her nap. Emily gracefully offered us to stay as long as we could & accommodated our needs kindly and didn’t ask for an extra charge. So it’s a perfect spot for a small family to enjoy it - the location is central, easy to get everywhere without a car, just in front of the place there is a playground, Asian spa for relaxing next door, new world is 1 min walk away. There are heaps of cooking amenities so I was able to cook for my baby and I with ease and pleasure. The bed was comfortable and the bath tub was an extra bonus for sore tired mama muscles! Very grateful to find this cool cosy spot with nice art, features and beautiful generous host as Emily.

Our stay at Anindita's property was fabulous. Anindita and her partner Neil were wonderful hosts. The property was clean, fully equipped and we had the most restful sleeps. The location was wonderful with public transport into the CBD of Wellington literally outside the front door. There were takeaways, supermarkets and other stores within walking distance. We had our gorgeous (well behaved dog with us) and he had a wonderful time. There was a fabulous doggy park literally a four minute walk from the property - perfect.

Guy was friendly and communicative and went above and beyond for our elderly parents who were visiting. The accommodations were lovely and clean. Highly recommend.

Excellent location and very comfortable stay. Parking is very tight suited for smaller vehicles. Location is quiet and easy access to everything.

Wonderful character home. Beautiful views, just across the road from the beach. Listing was accurate and host was lovely and helpful.

We feel incredibly privileged to have stayed in this beautifully renovated piece of New Zealand history. The home has everything we needed for a lovely relaxed week, and was walkable to all of the Wellington sites and restaurants, as well as supermarkets.
