More Dog Information
Our bay (Kikowhakarere) has no current dog restrictions for dogs on it – this means your dog can be on the beach at any time on or off-lead.
However, across Coromandel restrictions do apply on where you have your pets at certain times – some beaches don’t allow pets on beach during day time hours. Please familarise yourself with Thames Coromandel District dog rules here.

Here’s a quick list of what we recommend to bring with you camping:-
- Bring something to keep your pet cool and cover like a cheap gazebo or tent – usually, you will be camping in summer – so the heat is high, and the sun is strong.
- Keep the pets hydrated with a decent water bowl to keep them warm during your stay.
- Ensure you pack your companion’s collar & lead – they might be used to free-ranging at home, in the park your pet must be on a lead.
- Poop bags – be a tidy Kiwi and respect other guests by tidying up their mess!
- Dog registration tag is up to date – during peak times, our local council do enforce dog rules, ensure your registration is on the pet and up to date to save nasty fines!
- Consider pet sunscreen – slip, slop, slap.
- Don’t forget the treats for your pets – lets be honest, they are on holiday too!
