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

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.
