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.

55What a great little spot so close to the city! My lab and springer x absolutely loved running around the paddock, sniffing their little hearts out and cooling down in the stream in between.
Will definitely be coming back regularly!Nina H.

55What a beautiful place to take your dogs. The area is well fenced off with plenty of room for your dogs to run around. The water holes and stream are perfect for them to cool down too. We will definitely be using this space often, highly recommend Sabrina M.

55We visited Goodwood Private Dog Park early this morning, up with the chickens (Rooster actually) from 5:30 to 6:30 am. There was plenty of places for our dog to sniff and a stream & watering hole perfect for Tess to splash around in. Loads of space to run, sticks to toss, and even an audience of curious cows in the upper paddock, watching us drink our coffee while Tess was bobbing for sticks! Thanks Rob, we’ll definitely be back.

55The dogs had a blast, watering hole was certainly the favourite part and the stick library 😂. Nice wee spot for dogs, not a huge area but safe and has everything they need to let off some steam Natalie M.
