About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Pink House

This lovely small cottage originally came into my family as a retirment home for my (then) 90 year old mother, Olive. She loved the place except for its original colour and so promptly painted it Pink.

The house has many of her touches still in it, such as the cross stitch pictures framed on the walls.

Nana Olive was well known through Tokoroa for her hospitality and warm welcome she offered at the Pink House, and we are delighted to continue this tradition.

We are located a 2 minute drive, or 10 minute walk from downtown
Tokoroa. There is a small park an easy walk

Another great stay at the Pink House!
We have been staying at the Pink House regularly as we are helping a friend renovate a house. Alby is always extremely helpful, the house is spotlessly clean, very well equipped and has comfortable beds with lovely linen. We have stayed in many holiday houses and this is one of our favourites. Highly recommend.

Another awesome stay at the Pink House
Our 2nd stay at the Pink House and just as great as the first! The house has everything we need, is warm and well equipped. We love that we can come home from a day of helping renovate our friends house, have an awesome hot shower (unlimited hot water) and totally relax in peace and quiet. We have just booked for another 4 day weekend in a couple of weeks. Highly recommend. Thanks Alby, a great host!

Lovely home away from home
This was a wonderful place to stay. We had four nights here. The beds are super comfortable. It's cosy and a bit dated but it is still original and lovingly decorated by the hosts departed mum which ads so much to its charm. The kitchen is very well equipt well laid out. The excisting washing maschine and dryer have a very large capacity and are so convinient. The host lives next door and is very helpful and genuinely nice. So lovely chating to him. After a long day out and about our kids enjoyed the big TV with netflix and the comfortable lounch chairs. Everything is spotless and spacious but still cosy. It really feels like you are staying for a weekend at Nana's. It is very centraly located, an hour from Rotorua (so no smell!), about an 11/2h from Lake Taupo, Hobbiton and Waitomo each. It was a great base for our daytrips. We would stay here again and highly recommend it for families or groups as there is enough space for 5 people Thank you

Warm and Welcoming
It was lovely and homely. Access instructions easy to follow. After a tiring long drive we arrived late at night with the cottage all warmed up on our arrival. Very welcoming and relaxed. Had a great sleep in a cosy comfortable bed, just what was needed for the next part of our journey south. Had everything we needed and was so clean. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality.
