If you are travelling with your dog Pakowhai is the perfect place for you both. Wagging dog tails are warmly welcomed here at this country park, accessible to both cities of Hastings and Napier. They even put the poochie pooper bags out.

Your fur baby can get right down to business and let loose in this wild country. Poochie woochie’s locked up urban imagination will be unleashed hunting on the grassy savannah plains, fighting through bush, swimming in the game-infested waters of nearby Ngaruroro River or the more gentile Raupere Stream. Alternately they can strut sedately down rural paths with a new-found stick teasing their doggy pals. You know this park has the official doggy stamp of approval when dog waste bag dispensers are available.
