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

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!

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.

Great place to stay
The Pink House is a great place to stay in Tokoroa. Very clean, great facilities and comfortable beds. Loved the wood fire and heat pump on a cold night. Would definitely stay again when visiting Tokoroa.
