About this property
Tiny House Train-eco Stay
Please see Airbnb for plenty of 5 star reviews. Thank you for renting the train as this really helps me. The train runs on solar power, all your water is spring water and is a great example of up cycling and recycling. The tiny house train is located on a 10 acre/4.2 hectare organic blueberry farm and was restored in 2018 and turned into a tiny house in May 2019. There is a cozy log burner plus heat pumps and the TV is a smart TV and has Netflix supplied . Wifi is Starlink with laptop friendly kitchen table. Self checkin after 2pm. No light pollution and beautiful star filled skies for miles.
Please note that the sofa bed is optional and it will need to be added as an extra charge of twenty five dollars per night. Please let me know if you would like to book the sofa bed via the messaging system of this platform.

About the host
Hosted by Carolann
Hi I am from the Wellington area and had always wanted to turn the train into a b and b after many years and finally managed to do it in 2018. It has been a total delight to host as everyone just loves it. I have been on the property since 1995 and still love it. Being set back from the road ensures privacy.
You will sometimes see lots of people wandering around in bee suits as I teach beekeeping, organic horticulture and permaculture courses. You retain your privacy though.

Why they chose this property
No light pollution here at night and only the sounds of night birds and beautiful moon and stars to look at. Whitemans Valley is a rural area mainly populated by lifestyle blocks but only an 8 minutes drive to Silverstrean Village which has a lot of takeaway places, supermarket, pub, great bakery and several restaurants. Brewtown craft brewery and farmers market is only an 18 min drive and Wellington CBD 35 min drive.
What makes this property unique
The train has a personality of it's own and everyone who stays here just loves it as I do too. You'll see what I mean when you get here. The log burnining fire just adds to the coziness of it while keeping the modern comforts of a smart TV, airfryer, microwave etc. Blueberry Fields Forever is a very popular organically certified PYO blueberry farm with a mix of horticulture, beekeeping and permaculture courses being held here as well as the Tiny House Train-Eco Stay.
