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.

Lovely house, and it was exactly as per the listing, with no unexpected surprises. Alby was a great host too. Loved the bed in the master bedroom, which was super comfy. Also great to have full sized dining table on the covered deck at the front, meaning you could dine outside (and watch the world go by) even when it was raining.
