Numbucca Valley Train Carriages Mid North Coast NSW
In 2019, the Nambucca Valley Train Carriages were built entirely from the ground up. The carriages are situated on the Mid North Coast of NSW, not far from Nambucca Heads.
The railway carriages provides a one-of-a-kind B&B experience in self-contained private holiday lodgings, overlooking the railway line and a scenic country landscape.
The two carriages are a replica of the Wisebech and Upwell Tramway carriage, built in 1888 by GER (Great Eastern Railways) in Stratford, England.
Each carriage has a Queen Bed, an ensuite bathroom, a kitchen, a small dining table, and a balcony. The ensuite bathroom has a large shower, and there is plenty of room. Guests are also welcome to use the pool in the private dwelling area.
Hosts, Dave and Diane, provide a complimentary continental breakfast of cereal, toast, jam, honey, juice, tea, and coffee. The balcony is perfect for sitting out and enjoying breakfast, and in the evening, sit and enjoy a drink.
There is a small electric cooktop, microwave, and electric BBQ on the balcony for those wishing to cook rather than dine out. Guests are requested to leave the kitchen and bathroom clean and wash and put away dishes. Also available is a fire pit fit to enjoy in the winter months and evenings.
The carriage is 200 metres away from the North Coast Railway line, visible from the balcony and windows, and you will hear the occasional train pass by. Other than the trains, the property is tranquil, scenic and has the occasional wallaby grazing near the carriages.
The 300 metre maintained gravel driveway has bitumen road access and lots of room to store a trailer or boat. When entering the drive, veer to the right as the left goes to the private dwelling.
