Pet Friendly Hotels & Resorts in South Shore from NZ$483

"Our stay was overall pleasant, but fell slightly short of expectations. We had booked an “ocean view” room anticipating a direct view of the ocean, however our room overlooked the pool and hot tub area instead. It was only upon arrival that we learned that “front ocean view” rooms are the ones that truly guarantee an ocean-facing perspective, which felt somewhat misleading at the time of booking. The bed was comfortable enough, though not particularly memorable, and while we didn’t have the opportunity to try the on-site dining, the beach itself was nice, though fairly standard. All in all, a decent stay, but I would recommend paying close attention to room categories to avoid any disappointment."

"We stayed in a King room with an ocean view. Room was clean and comfortable. Had a problem at check in that they attempted to downgrade us to a queen room and was not going to honor the deal I booked on Hotels.com until I provided documentation of the deal and insisted on the King room I had booked. Staff had to go back to the manager several times before issue was resolved. Received the room and deal I had booked on Hotels.com. Stay was enjoyable. Dinner at RumFire was great! Make sure to make reservations ahead of time. "
