Lovely and quiet stay

Jan and Bill's place was perfect for us as a long-term tenant. The studio was cozy and kept us warm during the winter, with peaceful views of the surrounding hills and farms to keep us occupied. The studio has everything you might need for cooking, and the bed was very comfortable as well. We highly recommend this location for both short-term and long-term stays. Jan and Bill's hospitality made us feel right at home from day one.

Pineapple Bliss in Tokoroa

Wife and I had a quiet, relaxing, enjoyable stay. Jan and Bill let us have our space, yet were warm and friendly for the brief moments we did get to chat. Enjoyed the peaceful and scenic rural setting. The space was simple, yet comfortable. Well stocked with amenities. I would stay again next time I’m traveling that way. Mahalo

Lovely, quiet location - great hosts!

We loved the location, the hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and the accommodation was ideal for our two-night stay. We appreciated the little things like having tea/coffee/fruit bursts provided. We also loved the dogs, cats and birds that the owners have!

Tokoroa hideaway

We were looking for somewhere to stay with our two dogs, a Pomeranian and a Border Collie. This was perfect for what we needed, place for the dogs to do their business and comfortable for us. We were able to travel to Karangahake Gorge to do the amazing walk there and the following day to do some walks around Rotorua.

Great spot to enjoy a rural setting but still be close to town. Everything you need in the container and the fenced area outside for the dog was great. The hosts were very friendly and the place was nice and private.

Peaceful

I booked this place as it was perfectly between my two destinations that was too long to drive for. I stayed one night but wish I could have stayed longer! Super easy to find. The cabin had everything you need. Perfect spot to take dogs to. Loved all the little touches such as variety of hot drinks, biscuits, milk in the fridge, lovely toiletries, parrot theme. The bed was super comfy and the whole place was spotless. Loved waking up to birdsong and watching the cows and ducks stroll past while sitting outside with my morning coffee. My dog had an awesome time too. I didn’t want to leave ! Thanks Jan & Bill!
