About this property

Galloway Getaway: Rural serenity, adventure & local charm await. Pet Friendly!

Surrounded by walking and cycling tracks, a dam for swimming and kayaking, a meandering river and so many other natural wonders to explore right on the doorstep, you are never far from something to do. Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. Ride the rail trail or just watch the riders pedal past, it's entirely up to you.

Be as active or as chilled as you wish, there are no pressures or expectations here. Enjoy a Nespresso, grab a book, rattle the feed bucket for the sheep and deer; how about some pizza, plonk and pétanque?

I've endeavoured to capture the essence of the early 1900s, aligning with the era when the Otago Central Branch Railway was first completed. Our location in Galloway places us right alongside a portion of the extraordinary 152-kilometer-long rail trail. This makes our spot perfect for a few leisurely days before or after your cycling adventure on any of the local trails.

And if cycling isn't your cup of tea, there's something for everyone to savour here. The charm of Alexandra and its surrounding areas offer a multitude of experiences that cater to diverse interests and preferences. Not everyone comes to Central to ride a bike, right?

Whatever the reason for your stay, we welcome you to enjoy the vibe of a bygone era in this unique, purpose-built railway carriage, designed to cater for your every comfort. Cosy and comfortable with huge fluffy towels and luxury linens, this compact space offers a queen size bed with an electric blanket, ensuite bathroom with non-smelling composing toilet, kitchenette with microwave, breadmaker, nutra ninja and more!

Kia ora, I'm Helly
I have a deep appreciation for nature and a passion for photography. Our stunning countryside serves as a constant source of inspiration, there's always something captivating to snap! I also love to cook and have a reputation for ‘over-doing it’ – no one leaves my place hungry!



I work from home as a book publisher and my other half Rob, works pretty hard and long hours too in his own business.



So, whether you're a fellow photography enthusiast, an animal lover, or simply seeking a peaceful getaway, we're thrilled to extend a warm welcome to you. We're excited to share stories, create lasting memories, and offer you an exceptional experience during your stay.
