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.

The hosts were very approachable, kind people. The container a different experience, but comfortable and private. Unfortunately there is no stove top or oven, but a microwave and an electrical pan.

Certainly a different experience to stay in a converted shipping container. There was everything I needed for an enjoyable 3 night stay. Jan and Bill were very obliging and I appreciated the eggs for breakfast plus the other items. The bed was really comfy, shower good once the water heats up. Lovely deck with a beautiful view of the countryside and farm animals. The wifi worked but intermittent at times which forced me to rest. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Rural Getaway
Very kind and accommodating hosts. Had all the kitchen and bathroom amenities we needed. Loved the rural setting with our bovine neighbors and lovely birdsong throughout the day. Had a wonderful stay and the town of Tokoroa has everything we needed for groceries, gas, etc.

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.
