About this property

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

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

A home away from home. Everything you need. Comfortable beds, tv, fireplace and heatpump/aircon, right down to a box full of toys and dress up for the children. Friendly and helpful hosts.

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.
