About this property
Hapuku Carriages Kaikoura
Restored 1920's Railway Carriage, Uniquely Kiwi, Old World Charm and Hospitality. Relax and enjoy the tranquil location. Listen to the Korimako, Kereru and other native birds. The beach is within 2 mins walking distance with hardly a sole on the beach. Relax on the carriage deck with a glass of wine and take in the sea views of the vast pacific ocean and mountains. Enjoy a hot soak in the bath under a Million stars! Bliss!

Why they chose this property
A little history on the this carriage. The carriage was built in 1921 and was on a farm in Waiau for many years. It was a guards van that was used as a shearers quarters for the workers. In 2007 it was removed from the farm and is now situated in a rural setting with mountain views just north of Kaikoura. It has now been carefully restored and luxuriously fitted out for your comfort.
Enjoy the tranquil setting, viewing the mountains and listen to the waves roll in from the beach.
