Fantastic for any train enthusiast; very cozy and homely. Would definitely stay here again (and do the llama trekking).
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2021
We stayed 12 & 13 April. The train carriage is great, with everything you would need in the kitchen & bathroom area. Kevin also allowed us to have our 2 British Bulldogs stay with us. The carriage is fully fenced so they were able to come and go as they liked. Situated in a nice rural setting, but only a few minutes drive into Kaikoura township. Thanks Kevin, we hope to stay again at some stage. Cheers, Julie & Andrew
