Thanks Robyn and Chris for a lovely stay! The train carriage was very well maintained, and the new bathroom addition was a nice surprise. We had a lovely time playing card games and listening to the radio each evening. Highly recommend booking if you are visiting Perthville or surrounds :)

Great Holiday for our young family

Our kids loved staying here, they loved playing with the dogs, watching the chickens, and sleeping in a TRAIN! Despite it being freezing outside, the carriage was cosy, and surprisingly child-friendly with not too many things to hideaway from little hands.

Train Carriage in Bathurst

We had the best time during our stay! The photos don’t do it justice. My family including 3 kids aged between 8-12 enjoyed our time so much we didn’t want to leave to see the sights each day. Would definitely love to come back again and we highly recommend.

Amazing

We had an excellent stay in the beautiful converted sleeper carriage. I like the fact that the original fittings are almost all still in place; it really felt like the train was about to pull out from the station.

Sleeping in a train carriage

We had a great time staying here whilst we were visiting family.We weren't cold at all even though we stayed in the middle of winter as there was heating all throughout the carriage and extra blankets if needed. Everything was converted/ upgraded to a high quality and we were very happy to stay.

Just right

5 stars all round! Our short stay was above the quality we had hoped, hosts were lovely and have us all the space and privacy the beautiful countryside could afford, and sleep was dreamy and undisturbed. Felt right at home although far away :)

Something out of the ordinary

Eldest child loves trains so decided to indulge him in a stay here. Host was amazing, train exactly as presented. Delightful and peaceful but not far from town. Would highly recommend when you want some quirky accomodation to relax and recharge at.

The most wonderful place

This lovely place exceeded our expectations. The sleeper carriage is amazing and beautifully set up for visitors. It was such fun and so comfortable. Robyn is the best of hosts and has such attention to detail. From sitting out under the canopy enjoying the view to sleeping in beautiful linen sheets. The character of the train has been preserved without compromising on comfort. Cannot recommend more enthusiastically.

A magical stay in a converted train carriage

We had the most wonderful weekend staying in Robyn's & Chris converted train carriage.From the moment we arrived, the charm and character of the carriage made it feel so special - like a hidden gem tucked away in the most beautiful surroundings. Robyn added so many thoughtful touches throughout, from a lovely welcome sign to the old suitcases used to style the property.The kids were absolutely thrilled. Sleeping in a train was a big novelty and they loved exploring and pretending to be on an actual train trip.They also fell in love with the two beautiful dogs, Max & Roy. We left with big smiles and beautiful memories and cant recommend this property enough. Its perfect for everyone looking for a unique, heartwarming getaway!We will be back for sure.

An absolute gem

We loved the train carriage with its gorgeous mix of old train charm and modern furnishings. Lush linen sheets and covers, vibrant Ausralian print cushions and pops of colour by way of sunny yellow toaster and kettle.The hosts were amazing, great communication, friendly chats, super relaxed and accomodating including fresh baked anzac biscuits that were irresistable down to the last crumb. We barbequed on the deck, gazed at the milky way so clear away from the city lights, ate at the locals pub down the road wtih cold drinks and generoud pub food.We loved the chooks and the resident dogs Max and Roy who love everyone and greet you at the gate.Must do country experience.
