55A great place to take my dogs who aren’t the best sometimes with other dogs. They happily ran around and were super excited to be going out. Quiet and peaceful. The neighbour has two young labs who have a secret escape route. They came to the fence, friendly but made my boy bark a lot. The lady was very apologetic. Aside from that a great idea and I wish there were more in the area. Thank you. We will be back 😊👍Rebecca M.

55Fabulous spot. Quiet. Well fenced. My 3 dogs, including one who is very reactive had a blast. Was so nice seeing them all run freely and happily. And I didn't have to stress or look out for incoming people or dogs etc Luana G.

55Lovely little spot for our 3 doggos, plenty of drinking water for them and a couple of tennis balls too. Such a brilliant idea for nervous or restive dogs Becks S.

55Our boxer Zac had an amazing time running around of lead. He can be reactive on lead towards other dogs, so having a place where he can be off lead safely is perfect. We would highly recommend The Dog Farm. I would suggest taking a sun umbrella is summer for shade :)Jen C.

Well fenced, so felt really secure. Lots to look at and smell, and different kinds of spaces to explore.

55Just spent the last hour watching my dogs have the time of their lives. Running free, sniffing, chasing balls, access to fresh water, they were in their element,
all thanks to this great idea of a secure park for owners to use undisturbed. Great work. Will be back on the regular.Amanda S.

55What an amazing idea / spot / resource for doggo parents!! We have 2 Husky’s that we can never let off-lead anywhere due to their speed, stamina and desire to run til they drop!. They had an absolute ball running free and it was a joy to watch them have sprinting competitions and just do dog-stuff 🙂 great safe space - the water bowls, hose and ball chuckers were a nice surprise. We’ll be coming back on a weekly basis! Thank you for this incredible space 👍Liz D.

55Fully fenced area with enough space for dogs to go nuts! There's even a bench for the hoomans to sit (if needed/wanted). Bowls of water and a hose on site if you need to fill them up. Even a couple of ball & sticks to throw. Lovely & quiet, very clean & grass was a good length. Easy to book & a must visit; will def be back 👍Amanda J.

55Great spot for our 2 reactive dogs to have a run around on our way down to Hastings from Hamilton. Safe and private location with adequate fencing and water provided. Take your own toys and poo bags.
There were lots of large prickles in the ground, one of our dogs stood on one and was limping for a short while after, so just something to bare in mind if you have a sensitive dog. Our other dog didn't care and had a great time running around!
Thank you for sharing the spot with us :)

55For our first experience it was a great area for our 18 month old lab retriever to burn some energy as all enclosed. Water is available, a bench to sit on, ball thrower and ball but we took all of our own toys to entertain. The only issue we would raise is the grass was so long our pup had a couple of grass seeds that had to be removed from his paws. Rachel E.

55Not only was it a stunning drive to the location, but the area itself was stunning too! Caesar and I had a lovely, very relaxing game of fetch. There’s a bench to have a seat, water facilities and a couple ball throwers. Clean and tidy with a beautiful surrounding. Will definitely be back!Sonja G.

55Beautiful spot usually but more so at the moment as it’s all lush & green!! My twins (Husky’s) love it… they just about die with excitement as soon as I mention the “doggo farm” 😂 Always lovely & clean, quiet, with easy access to water & ball chuckers. I left a couple of brand new tennis balls there for other doggo’s to enjoy on Monday (as the existing ones were looking a bit over-loved… another great sign that this spot is magic ❤️ Thank you Kent & Family for providing this wonderful (stress-free) place for my hyper fur-kids to run free from harnesses and traffic.

55This is a great spot! Secure fencing all round (Maggie-Ann inspected every inch looking for a way out), a good mix of terrain to really exert my dog, lots of long grass and bushes for her to sniff and explore, a good size for recall training. Happy dog, happy owner! Highly recommend!Vivienne H.

FAQ about our Otane 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.
