Pineapple Bliss in Tokoroa
Wife and I had a quiet, relaxing, enjoyable stay. Jan and Bill let us have our space, yet were warm and friendly for the brief moments we did get to chat. Enjoyed the peaceful and scenic rural setting. The space was simple, yet comfortable. Well stocked with amenities. I would stay again next time I’m traveling that way. Mahalo

Lovely, quiet location - great hosts!
We loved the location, the hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and the accommodation was ideal for our two-night stay. We appreciated the little things like having tea/coffee/fruit bursts provided. We also loved the dogs, cats and birds that the owners have!

Tokoroa hideaway
We were looking for somewhere to stay with our two dogs, a Pomeranian and a Border Collie. This was perfect for what we needed, place for the dogs to do their business and comfortable for us. We were able to travel to Karangahake Gorge to do the amazing walk there and the following day to do some walks around Rotorua.

Great rural spot close to town
Great spot to enjoy a rural setting but still be close to town. Everything you need in the container and the fenced area outside for the dog was great. The hosts were very friendly and the place was nice and private.

I booked this place as it was perfectly between my two destinations that was too long to drive for. I stayed one night but wish I could have stayed longer! Super easy to find. The cabin had everything you need. Perfect spot to take dogs to. Loved all the little touches such as variety of hot drinks, biscuits, milk in the fridge, lovely toiletries, parrot theme. The bed was super comfy and the whole place was spotless. Loved waking up to birdsong and watching the cows and ducks stroll past while sitting outside with my morning coffee. My dog had an awesome time too. I didn’t want to leave ! Thanks Jan & Bill!

Superbly presented self contained one bedroom with ensuite. Unique design in renovated metal container. Great peaceful setting in rural location only 7 minutes from Tokoroa centre. Hosts accommodate any additional needs. If you want the serenity, weather and picturesque early morning or night sky take a moment to consider this gem.

Absolutely peaceful, and the view was amazing. We love the country so the smell we were okay with
The Studio was so cute we really enjoyed our time out in the country relaxing from our busy days and nights we had over the 3 days we stayed. Jan and Bill are amazing hosts. Our 2 furr babies loved relaxing on the deck in the sun as well. Recommend this place if you just want to chill and of course don't mind the country smells.
