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.

Kahu Heights

KirthanaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

The house was fantastic. It’s the first one in the Mango village. Beautiful sunsets visible from the balcony. Gregory was away, but Robyn lives right across and is delightful! The totally stocked kitchen was a pleasant surprise. The home is very spacious and aesthetically done up. My one year old had the most fun sitting up by the fireplace when the nights got cold. All amenities such as the bathroom, barbecue, washer and dryer are top notch. The bathroom even had a floor heater! We chose the location since we wanted to spend time in Hamilton, Rotorua, Waitomo and Taupo. Absolutely enjoyed our time here. Although I wish we had a few spare days to extend our visit. Highly recommend!

Another great stay! Booked last minute and Karl & Ness were super accommodating as always. The place was spotless, cozy, and had everything I needed. The spa was a real treat, especially on a chilly winter night — makes it feel like a real home away from home. Always appreciate the easy communication and warm welcome. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Highly recommend!

Mango Huts

MichaelRating, 5 stars3 months ago

The “modular” setup with a master on one side and a 2 bedroom on the other worked really well for us as 2 couples traveling together. Would also work well for a multi-generational family, or even parents with school age kids. Center kitchen was well equipped, everything was clean, and beds were comfortable.

A floating platform is anchored on a tranquil lake, featuring a slide and a diving board. The surface reflects fluffy clouds and a blue sky, while green trees line the shore in the background.
