Dog-friendly cafes and pubs in Waihī Beach
4 cafes, bars and pubs around Waihī Beach with a dog policy we can point at a source for. All of them are outdoor areas: nobody around here has put an indoor policy in writing yet, so we are not going to say they have.
- Dogs inside means the operator has said dogs are welcome in the building, and we hold the wording that says it.
- Outdoor areas means the courtyard, the garden bar or the footpath tables, and not indoors.

Some places here may well take dogs inside, but no operator or guide has said so in writing where we could read it, and we will not put words in their mouth. If you know one, send us the wording and we will add it with the citation.

Surf Shack
Dogs welcome in the outdoor areaCafe · Waihi Beach
“The operator's own words: "Furry friends are more than welcome outside too!" Surf Shack is running as a pop up on The Deck at the Waihi Beach Surf Lifesaving Club, open Wednesday to Sunday 8.30am to 2pm, after its own premises were flooded in January 2026. Seating is outdoors, so outside is the whole venue. A member also reports the staff bring out dog treats.”
