About this property

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

Imagine waking up in your own private railway hideaway, where heritage charm meets modern luxury. Your unique retreat, a lovingly crafted railway carriage, transforms into a cosy tiny-home and sits perfectly positioned along the historic Otago Central Rail Trail, offering you front-row seats to Central Otago's most spectacular adventures.

Let nature be your playground – step outside to discover walking and cycling tracks, a pristine dam perfect for summer swims and kayaking, and a gentle river calling for exploration. Or simply pause and watch the world roll by as cyclists traverse the legendary rail trail beyond your window.

Your days unfold exactly as you choose. Perhaps start with a perfect Nespresso on your private deck, lose yourself in a good book, or make friends with our charming sheep and deer (they always appreciate a gentle rattle of the feed bucket). As the day winds down, invite the evening in with Pizza, Plonk, and Pétanque. Then unwind in one of our two outdoor baths, perfect for relaxation and star-gazing under the vast, clear sky. In the cooler months, the view of the Milky Way is nothing short of breathtaking—soon, we'll even be gaining Dark Sky status, making it the perfect spot for stargazers to soak in the magic of Central Otago’s night sky.

Inside your carefully curated space, every comfort awaits. Sink into a queen-size bed dressed in luxury linens, wrap yourself in plush fluffy towels, and appreciate the thoughtful touches that transform this compact space into an unforgettable retreat. Your ensuite bathroom and kitchenette offer modern conveniences while maintaining the romantic charm of early 1900s rail travel.

Whether you're seeking a perfect base for cycling adventures, a peaceful escape into nature, or simply a unique experience in the heart of Central Otago, you'll find your own rhythm here. Alexandra's treasures and the region's celebrated wineries lie just moments away, ready to be discovered at your leisure.
