Think of it as the same About Thyme for Sleeps and Treats experience - just bring your own carriage!
While our railway carriage remains our signature stay, we also offer exclusive use of the garden for your self-contained campervan or caravan on selected nights.
This is a private booking - no shared spaces, no other guests - just space, quiet, and a slower pace of stay.

This is not a campground. It is exclusive use of a fenced garden space, designed for comfort, privacy, and a little indulgence.
At the heart of the stay are the outdoor baths, set within your own private courtyard under the open sky. Settle in for a soak, then ease into a quiet evening in a space that is entirely yours.
You may hear deer calling or sheep shifting nearby - the kind of sounds that belong to the setting, not the crowd.

For many, travelling by campervan or caravan is about keeping things simple and flexible.
This offering keeps that freedom - but adds a touch of comfort when you feel like it.
A private space, a hot bath under the stars, and room to spread out. Especially welcome when you’re ready to slow things down and step away from the crowds - school holidays included.
Set just outside Alexandra, you are perfectly placed to enjoy everything Central Otago has to offer.
Walk or cycle quiet tracks, head out on the Otago Central Rail Trail, explore nearby dams and rivers, or simply settle in and enjoy the space.
If you prefer to head out for the day, you can do so knowing your setup is safe and ready when you return.
For those who want a break from people - not from life.
No engines idling, no doors slamming, no shared spaces. Just dark skies, open air, and the rhythm of a rural setting.
Whether you are stopping for a night or staying a little longer, it suits travellers who value space, quiet, and the freedom to settle in without packing up again.
It works just as well as a base for exploring as it does for doing very little at all.
This offering is released selectively to fill short gaps between carriage bookings.
