About this property

'The Train House' - one of Woollongong's finest homes, a taste of Kyoto in NSW.

Welcome to 'The Train House', a slice of Kyoto in the heart of Mount Pleasant.

Thoughtfully designed and beautifully appointed, this home is a world-class retreat where comfort, tranquillity, and effortless luxury come together. Ideal for families, weddings, couples, or groups seeking a memorable getaway, The Train House is the kind of place where the home truly becomes the destination.

From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by the calming presence of a Japanese-style garden at the front of the property. A gentle waterfall, curated Japanese Maple trees, and a generous outdoor dining setting for eight create a peaceful atmosphere perfect for morning coffee, shared meals, or simply taking in the serenity. There is a firepit as well by the waterfall, perfect for Winter nights.

Step inside and you’ll find open-plan living spaces bathed in natural light and beautiful original beams. The heart of the home is the high-end kitchen, complete with two spacious island benchtops, Miele appliances, and a fully equipped butler’s pantry; ideal for those who love to cook or entertain or for a dinner party fit for a king! Whether you're preparing a quiet breakfast or hosting a special celebration, the space is designed to make it memorable.

Beyond the kitchen, the home offers three inviting living rooms, each crafted for entertainment. Whether you’re curling up by the fire in the main lounge, unwinding with a book, or gathering for a family game night.

For entertainment, The Train House offers exceptional options for every mood. Enjoy a private cinema room for movie nights, a dedicated games room with a pool table, or retreat to the distinctive whisky room at the front of the house, complete with its own bar (unstocked) and club-style ambience perfect for quiet conversations and evening relaxation.

One of the home’s standout features is the full hair salon, thoughtfully included for wedding preparations, special events, or guests simply wanting to enjoy a professional-grade space for getting ready. It’s especially popular with bridal parties and families preparing for important occasions.

When it’s time to unwind, step outside and refresh in the private pool, ideal for slow afternoons with loved ones, sunny days with the kids, or peaceful solo swims. As the sun sets, enjoy a glass of wine by the indoor fireplace, or dine outdoors as the waterfall fills the garden with its soothing sound.

Every part of The Train House has been curated to provide a sense of calm, beauty, and effortless luxury. Whether you're here for a celebration, a quiet escape, or simply to treat yourself to something special, our home offers a getaway you’ll remember — and one you may never want to leave.
