All-Weather Play

Rain or shine, the farm adventure continues. Our massive all-weather barn and modern farmhouse ensure your dog stays dry, warm, and happy.

Infinite Playgrounds

Room to Roam.
Space to Play.

We’ve traded city concrete for the rolling hills of Kumeū. Located just 25 minutes from the CBD or Albany, our modern farm facility is designed for dogs who love the great outdoors.

Dogs socializing in group paddocks

Secure Social Groups

We run five curated groups—Special Needs, Teeny Tinies, Smalls, Mediums, and Large. Each has its own dedicated, fully fenced paddock to ensure safe, age-and-size-appropriate socialising.

Supervised countryside walks

Natural Enrichment

Beyond the paddocks, our pups enjoy supervised bush walks and country zoomies in our large, scenic open fields.

The Large Barn and Farm House at Pupclub

The Large Barn & Farm House

Our farm house and large, purpose-built barn are the heart of the farm during winter, providing a massive, dry space for indoor games, stable socialising, and cozy post-play naps.

Finding Your Pup’s Perfect Pack

Curated Social Groups for a Safer, Happier Adventure

At Pupclub, we don’t believe in a "one size fits all" approach to farm life. To ensure every member of our farm family is safe, confident, and having the time of their lives, we carefully curate our social groups based on size, life stage, and personality.

When your pup joins our members-only country club, our mature team of experts places them in a specific "pack" where they can socialise harmoniously with like-minded friends.

Size-Based Groups: Safe & Balanced Play

The Teeny Tinies group Under 5kg

The Teeny Tinies

Reserved for our smallest treasures like Chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers. These little adventurers have their own dedicated, secure paddock where they can zoom and play without the worry of larger paws.

The Smalls group 5kg – 12kg

The Smalls

A vibrant group for the "little-but-mighty" set, including Cavoodles, Miniature Schnauzers, Pugs, Cocker Spaniels, and Bichons. High energy and big personalities in a safe, small-scale environment.

The Mediums group 12kg – 22kg

The Mediums

The active heart of the farm! This group includes Spaniels, Wheaten Terriers, Standard Schnauzers, Blue Heelers, Staffies, Border Collies, and Spoodles. Perfect for those who love a good game of chase.

The Bigs group Gentle Giants

The Bigs

Our "Gentle Giants" group for larger breeds like Labradoodles, Labradors, Retrievers, Retradoodles, German Shepherds, and Bernese Mountain Dogs. Plenty of space for big strides and big fun.

Life Stages: Growing & Greying Together

🌱

Puppies & Adolescents

A nurturing environment for our younger members. We cater to Babies (3–6 months), Infants (6–12 months), and Adolescents (1–3 years). Here, the focus is on positive socialisation, learning farm manners, and burning off that boundless young energy.

👑

Senior Citizens

For our distinguished members aged 8 to 18 years. These distinguished pups enjoy a gentler pace of life, with plenty of sun-drenched naps, leisurely sniffs, and the comfort of our farmhouse or barn when they need a quiet moment.

Personality Profiles: Tailored to Their Temperament

We look beyond the breed to understand the soul of your dog. Our permanent team monitors every interaction to ensure pups are grouped by their "vibe":

🎉

The Socialites

The life of the party! These pups love making new friends and are always in the middle of a happy huddle.

⚡

The Athletes

For the high-octane dogs who live for the "zoomies" and need 15 acres to truly stretch their legs.

🌿

The Explorers

The scent-trackers who prefer supervised bush walks and investigating every corner of the farm.

🌸

The Shyer Types

Our "Wallflowers" who receive extra gentle care and encouragement. We provide a calm, low-pressure environment to help them build confidence at their own pace.

Customised Commute

The Safest Commute
to the Countryside.

Forget the morning rush. Our Pupbuses provide a premium door-to-door service, ensuring your dog arrives at the farm relaxed and ready for adventure. Because we have set seats for our regulars, we maintain smaller, safer numbers and a consistent social group.

Join the Club: Membership & Pricing

A Consistent Pack for a Safer Adventure.

At Pupclub, we believe that the best social experiences come from consistency and trust. To maintain our high safety standards and foster genuine friendships among our "farm family," we operate as a members-only country club. We do not accept "casual" or one-off bookings; instead, we require all pups to be registered for a minimum of one day per week on average.

This ensures your dog belongs to a stable, familiar social group where they feel secure, confident, and ready for adventure.
