“A unique experience. Impressive cabin! Very hospitable. Not as much privacy as we usually enjoy.”
+Dave met us on arrival, let us in and ran through everything we needed, including a detailed timetable of when the trains run along the back of the property, (behind the cottages), and a really interesting photobook of the construction of the carriage. This is a very impressive cabin, with attention to detail and warm hospitality, including homemade cookies! Everything is modern and clean, just as pictured, kitchen is well equipped, and the shower is amazing!! There were multiple trains scheduled to run through the night, only 2-3 of them woke us and we managed to get back to sleep. The fire pit that is prepared with everything needed to easily use, is shared by both cabins and is outside the green cabin, making the red cabin more private, if this is important to you. Beautiful peaceful surrounds, with lovely bush views. We loved Nambucca Heads and Macksville (both within 20min drive). We are thankful for Dave's recommendation to walk the Urunga Boardwalk!
−Even though the cabins are positioned well, with their entrances and balconies at opposite ends, having the other cabin close by and the fire pit outside our cabin made this a bit less private than we usually enjoy. We are also ones who often like letting ourselves in and not having to deal too much with others while away on holidays - just a personal preference, and Dave was lovely.

“Very unique, comfortable and clean place to stay.”
+Location was excellent and very quiet, amongst the trees. The continental breakfast included was good. Advice from Dave to eat at Bowraville sport club was very enjoyable, a lovely old traditional town.

“We recommend this unique travel stay option.”
+It is a unique experience, the train theme has been very well executed and the carriages are very comfortable. Set in a bush surrounding, train boffins would love it … the Sydney to Brisbane main line runs at the back of the property.. you can literally watch the trains go by. It is far enough for the trains not to be intrusive
−No fault of the property but there was bridge rebuild in process so trips to the beach side were longer than usual.

+Cute and cosy accommodation in a peaceful and natural environment. Not far from Macksville, Nambucca Heads, Urunga and Raleigh Winery.
−Perhaps provide a serving plate/board in the kitchen and a tv that allows you to connect to your phone. Other than that, it was fabulous!
