Imagine waking up in your own private railway hideaway, where heritage charm meets modern luxury. Your unique retreat, a lovingly crafted railway carriage transforms into a cosy tiny-home and sits perfectly positioned along the historic Otago Central Rail Trail, offering you front-row seats to Central Otago's most spectacular adventures.
Let nature be your playground – step outside to discover walking and cycling tracks, a pristine dam perfect for summer swims and kayaking, and a gentle river calling for exploration. Or simply pause and watch the world roll by as cyclists traverse the legendary rail trail beyond your window.
Your days unfold exactly as you choose. Perhaps start with a perfect Nespresso on your private patio, lose yourself in a good book, or make friends with our charming sheep and deer (they always appreciate a gentle rattle of the feed bucket and some nuts to eat). As the day winds down, invite the evening in with Pizza, Plonk and Pétanque. Then soak in a classic clawfoot bath beneath the Milky Way's spectacular show – pure Central Otago magic.
Inside your carefully curated space, every comfort awaits. Sink into a queen-size bed dressed in luxury linens, wrap yourself in plush fluffy towels, and appreciate the thoughtful touches that transform this compact space into an unforgettable retreat. Your ensuite bathroom and kitchenette offer modern conveniences while maintaining the romantic charm of early 1900s rail travel.
Whether you're seeking a perfect base for cycling adventures, a peaceful escape into nature, or simply a unique experience 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.
Your stay includes thoughtfully curated breakfast provisions, and we're delighted to welcome your furry friends by arrangement. To ensure you get your preferred dates, we recommend booking ahead.
