Rail Carriages

Look no further if you like a bit of fun and adventure in your accommodation. These 2 converted rail carriages are definitely different!

Originally built by N.Z Rail in the 1940's when money didn't seem to come into the equation and they certainly built rail carriages solid. Lots of native timber including a Kauri tongue and groove ceiling. There's the original flip over seats at the dining table. While endeavoring to maintain all the original charm and character there are still all the modern conveniences you require in a self contained chalet. Including A/C heating and seperate toilet/shower

The large lounge which is open planned through to the kitchenette dinning area has a TV, two couches and coffee tables, as well as the original single seats that the train guards used to use. Sleeping arrangements are: A master double bedroom at the far end. A set of original bunks in the next room. There are two double sofa sleepers in the lounge- in effect giving you 3 individual sleeping areas. We supply linen & towels for the double bedroom but please bring your own bedding and towels for the sofa sleepers.

The carriages are only 2 minutes walk to the 'Junction' bars, restaurants and ski shops for those that require further diversion.

The tariff during winter is $190 per night; longer midweek stays can be as low as $160 per night. As low as $100 p/n for couples during summer.
