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
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an electric kettle.

The house was easy to find as it was so distinctive, hard to miss with the pinkness of it. The art work on the walls was lovley as well as the story around the house. The beds were comfy and the house was warm. Thanks for a lovely nights sleep

The pink house was an ideal place to stay for me and my family whilst we attended a wedding close to Tokoroa. The property is ideal for families. The kitchen is well equipped and the property is spacious. In an ideal world there would be a separate toilet and one of the bedrooms had a bunk rather than free standing bed but everyone seemed to find the accommodation to be very comfortable

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!
