55We had a great time, lots of areas to explore and she very much enjoyed all the long grass. Great bit of water for swimming. There's mowed paths around the start that make it easy to find your way in. The far paddock doesn't have much in the way of paths. There were sheep in the neighbouring paddocks but easy to avoid given the size of the property. One very tired girl and our new favourite spot. ken m.

55Lovely farm area, nicely mowed tracks for us to follow and lots of space to explore. The water hole looks deep, my boy was too scared to jump in. Kelly P.

55This is the sniff spot I’ve been to so far. The dogs absolutely loved bounding through the long grass and cooling off in the swimming hole. We’ll be back. Thanks, Shelley! Olivia H.

55This is my all time favourite Sniffspot. So much to explore and so much for the dogs to enjoy. The mowed path makes for a flat simple stroll (would bring a balance/walking stick though if you’re not super stable on your feet because it is a farm). If you’re a bit more adventurous a walk up the hill and to the back paddocks leads to the most stunning views, and only 22 min drive from CBD. 10/10Amy K.

55Magic spot. Dogs had an absolute blast. Mowed paths to direct you in the right direction but I think the long grass is what makes it - so much to explore. They were bouncing like kangaroos having so much fun. Both went swimming. Very happy dogs :)Debbie W.

FAQ About Taupaki Dog Parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 6% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Taupaki area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 51 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 64 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
