Tiny House Train-eco Stay
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 electric heater 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 an extra charge and not included in the price. If you are not able to pay through this platform then the cost of the sofa bed is $25 per night payable on arrival.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Trentham Camp Golf Course. Free breakfast is available. The holiday home includes amenities such as a kitchen and a fireplace.

It was cool to stay in a train and somewhere new. It was fun seeing how it was converted and my train loving partner loved it. Super cosy and relaxing with delicious eggs. Thanks for being a great host!

Weekend Getaway
Thoroughly enjoyed a little weekend getaway. The train was quite cold during the winter months. However, it didn't take long to warm up with the little pot belly fireplace.
The organic range of food that was left for us to indulge in was such a lovely little touch as well. We would definitely consider returning in the warmer months.

Train stay
We enjoyed staying at the train, comfy bed, lovely hot shower, clean.
It would of been nice to meet the host at some stage of arival after all we had to be approved by photo. This teaches our children manners and how we should face people face to face

Nothing else compares.
Peaceful and quiet.. which we so much appreciated.
Had an interest in the history of how the train conversion began, to its present day. Just wow! A lot of work has been done.
Our pets loved it here with Fred & Wilma the 2 pet hosts.
Our host was very respectful & friendly.
