IT'S NOT JUST BED & BREAKFAST

INDULGE. RELAX. RECHARGE.

 

 

A railway hideaway like no other
Imagine waking up in your own private railway retreat, where heritage charm meets modern luxury. This lovingly crafted railway carriage has been transformed into a cosy tiny home, perfectly positioned along the historic Otago Central Rail Trail, offering front-row seats to some of Central Otago’s most spectacular adventures.


Step into nature’s playground
Let nature set the pace of your stay. Step outside to discover scenic walking and cycling tracks, a pristine dam perfect for summer swims and kayaking, and a gentle river inviting exploration. Or simply pause and watch the world roll by as cyclists traverse the legendary rail trail just beyond your window.


Unwind, indulge, and soak up the magic
Your days unfold exactly as you choose. Start with a freshly brewed coffee in your private and exclusive half acre, lose yourself in a good book, or befriend the resident sheep and deer, who always appreciate the rattle of a feed bucket. As evening sets in, enjoy pizza, plonk, and pétanque, then sink into a classic clawfoot bath beneath the dazzling Milky Way - a true Central Otago experience.


Luxury comforts in a historic setting
Inside this carefully curated space, every comfort awaits. A plush queen-size bed dressed in high-quality linens, soft fluffy towels, and thoughtful touches transform this compact retreat into something truly special. The ensuite bathroom and kitchenette provide modern conveniences while preserving the romantic charm of early 1900s rail travel.


Your perfect escape awaits
Whether you’re seeking a base for cycling adventures, a peaceful retreat into nature, or a unique stay in the heart of Central Otago, you’ll find your own rhythm here. Alexandra’s treasures and the region’s celebrated wineries lie just moments away, ready to be discovered at your leisure.
