Please see Airbnb for plenty of 5 star reviews. Thank you for renting the train as this really helps me. The train runs on solar power, all your water is spring water and is a great example of up cycling and recycling. The tiny house train is located on a 10 acre/4.2 hectare organic blueberry farm and was restored in 2018 and turned into a tiny house in May 2019. There is a cozy log burner plus heat pumps and the TV is a smart TV and has Netflix supplied . Wifi is Starlink with laptop friendly kitchen table. Self checkin after 2pm. No light pollution and beautiful star filled skies for miles. Please note that the sofa bed is optional and it will need to be added as an extra charge of twenty five dollars per night. Please let me know if you would like to book the sofa bed via the messaging system of this platform.
Lovely stay as we enjoy the peace and quiet. Carollan was very friendly and helpful especially dealing with the compost toilet issue. Downside, I am small and the toilet was too high for me. The log fire was a bonus as it does get cold at night. The bed was very comfy. 9/10.
Loved it, Just me and my 8 year old boy and 2 border collies. Something a bit different, but really well done. Would definitely stay again. Wood fire worked really well
We enjoyed staying at the train, comfy bed, lovely hot shower, clean.
It would of been nice to meet the host at some stage of arival after all we had to be approved by photo. This teaches our children manners and how we should face people face to face
Peaceful and quiet.. which we so much appreciated.
Had an interest in the history of how the train conversion began, to its present day. Just wow! A lot of work has been done.
Our pets loved it here with Fred & Wilma the 2 pet hosts.
Our host was very respectful & friendly.
Gorgeous little carriage in a beautiful setting. All fixtures and fittings very high quality, so closer to a luxury stay than the size would suggest. Fred and Wilma made sure we were well settled in and provided great company for our pooch. Home made jams and honey just added to the treat.Carolann is a great host, there when needed.. Thank you, would love to return for another stay.
It was cool to stay in a train and somewhere new. It was fun seeing how it was converted and my train loving partner loved it. Super cosy and relaxing with delicious eggs. Thanks for being a great host!
Thoroughly enjoyed a little weekend getaway. The train was quite cold during the winter months. However, it didn't take long to warm up with the little pot belly fireplace.
The organic range of food that was left for us to indulge in was such a lovely little touch as well. We would definitely consider returning in the warmer months.
Hi I am from the Wellington area and had always wanted to turn the train into a b and b after many years and finally managed to do it in 2018. It has been a total delight to host as everyone just loves it. I have been on the property since 1995 and still love it. Being set back from the road ensures privacy. You will sometimes see lots of people wandering around in bee suits as I teach beekeeping, organic horticulture and permaculture courses. You retain your privacy though.
No light pollution here at night and only the sounds of night birds and beautiful moon and stars to look at. Whitemans Valley is a rural area mainly populated by lifestyle blocks but only an 8 minutes drive to Silverstrean Village which has a lot of takeaway places, supermarket, pub, great bakery and several restaurants. Brewtown craft brewery and farmers market is only an 18 min drive and Wellington CBD 35 min drive.
The train has a personality of it's own and everyone who stays here just loves it as I do too. You'll see what I mean when you get here. The log burnining fire just adds to the coziness of it while keeping the modern comforts of a smart TV, airfryer, microwave etc. Blueberry Fields Forever is a very popular organically certified PYO blueberry farm with a mix of horticulture, beekeeping and permaculture courses being held here as well as the Tiny House Train-Eco Stay.
