Train vacation rentals in Australia

Our stay in Carriage 343 at Redleaf Farm was just magical. The carriage was done up impeccably with the softest bed linens, beautiful lighting and toasty warm shower. We loved the privacy of the location towards the back of the property, with a huge fire pit beside the scribbly gums and gorgeous Highland Cows and sheep grazing right nearby. Our kids loved exploring the creek and could've spent hours on the zipline. Katrina, Sam and their children are such friendly hosts. Highly recommend a stay at Redleaf Farm, to get back to nature and enjoy fresh country air within luxurious accommodation.

We had a fantastic stay. They are so friendly and helpful with a good sense of humor. Breakfast was served with a beautiful view so that’s a great start of the day. Hopefully we will be back in the area so we can schedule more time @ they’re relaxing property. We definitely recommend staying here ☺️.

Absolutely spectacular. Beautiful location, quiet and private. Stunning old train carriages decked out beautifully with period, quality furnishing, sheets, curtains and all. It was a true pleasure to stay here and experience what is clearly a train fanatics life work. Place was spotless, well maintained, had everything you need and is a must stay. Thank you so much Scott!

We had such a lovely stay! The host was warm and welcoming, greeting us with fresh sourdough on arrival. The train carriage was cosy and peaceful — the perfect spot to unwind. We explored the beautiful grounds, stayed off our devices, and ended our days by the fire roasting marshmallows. A truly restful escape! We couldn't ask for a better weekend.

Firstly, what a great experience we had, sleeping in the old train! Our kids had so much fun to stay there. Toasting marshmallows on the fire pit, playing with friendly dog Lenny, checking chooks, ping pongs, we could do so much things in addition to staying on the train. Plus, everything is so organised and the place was very neat and clean. Thank you, Benjamin and Kayla for your hospitality.

What a beautiful and relaxing place. Carly's attention to detail is amazing. Everything you need is there. The new garden area with herbs and flowers is lovely. If you want a relaxing getaway to just sit on the balcony, sip local wine and look at a beautiful view then I can't recommend this venue highly enough. Thank you Carly.

absolutely loved our stay here! it was super easy to find with clear instructions. everything you could possibly need was catered for with breakfast provided as well as some complimentary snacks and wine! the place itself was stunning and the views were incredible as well. could not fault any aspect of this stay, it was just perfect and Carly and Andrew were as well. we wish we stayed longer!

We loved staying on this beautiful train carriage. The host Lyndall was so responsive and accommodating. We particularly enjoyed the woodfired bath and bush bbq. Watching the sunset and sunrise from this beautiful relaxing spot was such a treat!

The place was modest but adorable, with the perfect location to feel the benefits of a remote location, lots of space on the property to walk around, comfortable amenities, and access to beautiful nature. There were huge exciting storms at night but we felt safe and secure. It has everything you need, just bring your groceries.

We so enjoyed our 4 nights accommodation in the tram. We loved its presentation, location and outlook. It was a great base for us to visit the city and some rural locations. We were very comfortable, and Doug and Rachael were very friendly and hospitable. Thanks for a very unique and memorable stay, Rosemary and Anderson.

Our extended family had a wonderful stay at The George. Sleeping in a train carriage was a dream come true for my train loving nephew! The kids enjoyed playing handball in the yard, meeting the resident animals, as well as relaxing on the couch playing boardgames. They even saw little kangaroos or wallabies on the property in the early morning! The living area was spacious enough for all 9 of us to hang out, it didn't feel crowded at all. Yes the bedrooms are cosy, but that adds to the charm. We are in a converted train carriage after all! The shower pressure was good with lots of hot water, and there is now WIFI in case you need it. We had a great time and it definitely is one of the coolest places I have stayed at. Thanks Ashley - you guys have done an amazing job with the place!

Beautiful place, even better than described and pictured. Sitting on the deck with a cup of tea and the birds… perfect. Suzie is a wonderful host!

We loved our stay at Peta-Lee’s tram. It was the second time staying there due to kids always asking to go ‘stay in tram again’. The kids loved exploring the tram and yard. We also went and had lunch at The Grove Gippsland which was just down the road and is definitely worth checking out during a stay at the tram.

The most incredible location and setup! We had the most wonderful time and would love to come back again soon! We are so thrilled we found this incredibly unique place! The train was setup with everything we needed, the fire was so nice and cosy, the sunsets and sunrises overlooking the valley were nothing short of spectacular! We are leaving with memories that will last a lifetime! We knew we were staying in a gorgeous train carriage.. what we didn’t realise was that it was the same train carriage that was setup at as a classroom at my primary school over 30 years ago. Craig very kindly pointed out a photo album containing old photos of when the train was stationed at my school, with some of my old school mates. Mind blown!! Thanks for such a special weekend!

Fantastic place to stay for a weekend in Stanthorpe. Brent was fantastic as a host. House was beautifully clean and well stocked with everything you needed. Beautiful location!!

Kerry was an amazing host. The Tram was definitely a must stay location. The history displayed in the Tram was very informative and the prices for tram tickets in 1993 was surprising. Kerry was very accomodating and nothing was too much trouble.

What an incredible property! It far exceeded our expectations and is so much better than the photos depicted. The pool/spa/sauna area was phenomenal. No cost has been spared or small detail overlooked in the construction of this property. It had every amenity, cooking equipment/utensils that you would ever need - we loved all hanging out in the kitchen and cooking together. Super lovely and helpful hosts. We found the property easy to find and get to. This place would be absolutely amazing in the cooler weather. We did find it quite difficult to sleep in the middle of the summer heat, however. Fans in the bedrooms would be a much needed addition - but that’s literally the only thing we could fault, everything else was incredible and we’d love to return!

Very peaceful and cute place to stay! Loved the hammock and deck area to enjoy the scenery. Small kitchen had everything we needed.

It is a treat to stay in a red rattler train carriage, especially if you are of a certain age and can remember travelling in them. There are four carriage units, plus other accommodation, so plenty of room for a big reunion or family to holiday together. A train or two will even pass by if you want to up the experience. The carriages are spacious and long, with air conditioning at either end. The complex has a pool and could accommodate weddings in a chapel structure. You are minutes from Dungog and cafes, restaurants and groceries, and the drive is lovely. Recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay, especially our two little boys loved the train theme and all the books and toys, so much to explore. Highly recommend for young families.

What a wonderful place to stay. The train is beautifully renovated, cosy and warm and very comfortable beds. Robyn's thoughtful touches such as flowers, Anzac biscuits and a well appointed kitchen were the icing on the cake. Highly recommended!
