About this property

Burra Railway Station BnB

This is a great accommodation for romantics of all sorts, be that lovers or rail buffs. Both are catered for here. The historic Burra Railway Station (built in 1883) served the heritage copper mining town for well over 100 years. The whole building has been faithfully restored to its former glory. When you stay at Burra Railway Station BnB you are contributing to the legacy of this historical station as all profits go directly to the Friends of Burra Railway Station Association to ensure this piece of Australian history can be continued for years to come.

Your accommodation provides surprising luxury in an historic setting. Sleep in what was once the Porter’s Room in a comfortable queen size bed with beautiful linen and electric blanket.
You have a en-suite bathroom plus kitchen where provisions are left for you to self prepare Continental breakfasts.

The large lounge room has a log fire and lots of books on railways and history. Curl up and forget the world in this very private and peaceful retreat.

The Porter's Room is a spacious self contained suite at one end of the historic Burra Railway Station. It has a Queen bedroom with ensuite shower bathroom, a well equipped kitchen where generous provisions are left for you to self prepare your Continental breakfasts. There is a small dining area. The spacious lounge has a log fire for Winter comfort. The Porters Room is air conditioned all year round.

There is a utility room with laundry facilities and where the BBQ is kept. Please take the BBQ outside if you would like to use it.

You will have access to the entire place.

Burra Railway Station is operated by volunteers. There is no on-site reception staff. A SMS will be sent on the morning of check in with the key access code.

A little piece of history

A beautiful restoration of the old Porters’ Rooms at the historic Burra Railway Station made for a comfortable stay and a great base to explore the region. The weather in the mid-north was cold and wet, but the accomodation was cosy and had everything we needed.

Beautifully restored and very comfortable

My husband and I had a great 2 nights stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of staying in an old railway station in accommodation that was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We liked being on the edge of Burra and walking in to the town centre past the mines and back along Burra Creek. It was such fun sitting outside on the patio looking out at the platform and hills beyond.
