55My first visit to The Sniffari Paddock and Oti had a great time de-stressing and zooming madly there. Highly recommend it as a problem free way to have some quality time with your dog. We will be back xxJenny S.

55The host was there to meet us. She showed me around and then left us to explore. The varied terrain, lots of different vegetation types and even a small pond made our visit exciting! Django had a great time and didn’t want to leave.Amanda K.

55Friendly host on arrival. Lovely spot for dogs to run around freely and plenty of smells to sniff! Only the top paddock was available with this visit due to a fallen tree and that was plenty for my dog to burn off her energy for the morning. Thanks for providing the area :)Bessie C.

55My two dogs got very excited by the friendly horse neighbour and the big fluffy sheep in the other paddock. This made it difficult for them to fully decompress - however, after they managed to desensitise themselves enough and they thoroughly enjoyed getting stuck into some serious sniffing. We will definitely be back!Charlotte H.

55Annie is an excellent communicator, and the Sniffari Paddock is everything your dog could want for - lots of well fenced space which has been thoughtfully planted and is very well looked after. We loved it.Penny D.

55Had a great time at the Sniffari Paddock!! The dogs loved it and had a fantastic time running, swimming and exploring. 😍
Great venue, safe place for your dog/s to explore. I liked the variety of the different paddocks. I now know why it is hard to get a time slot for this place and why it is so popular. Will definitely be back (and would highly recommend it, but wouldn't want more people knowing about this little gem in Horokiwi)
The host was lovely, great communication, you can tell they take great pride in the sniffari to make a great place for dogs and their owners.
Thank you.Anke C.

55Our dogs loved this! Fully fenced, lots of room to run around, plenty of space to play and they loved the pond to cool down in - we were lucky to get a beautifully sunny day. Great hosts welcomed and showed us round on arrival. Sophie B.
