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 need to be added as an extra charge of twenty five dollars per night for two single guests and sixty dollars for a third guest. Please let me know if you would like to book the sofa bed via the messaging system of this platform. Our property offers a unique off-grid experience in a peaceful natural setting. To ensure it's the right fit for you, please note:
Access is via a steep, winding hill road that some guests may find challenging if they are uncomfortable driving narrow or hilly roads. The accommodation features a composting toilet rather than a conventional flush toilet. While it is clean, well maintained, and easy to use, it is different from what many guests may be accustomed to. This property is best suited to guests who enjoy rustic, eco-friendly accommodation and are comfortable with the realities of staying in a natural, off-grid environment.
If you have any questions about the access or facilities, please feel free to ask before booking. We want every guest to have an enjoyable stay and to be confident that our property meets their expectations.

About the host
Hosted by Carolann
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.
Why they chose this property
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.
What makes this property unique
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.
