Train holiday rentals in Australasia

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.

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 ☺️.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Very unique place to spend time in the Lakes area. The location is 6 mins into Metung with great restaurants and nice parks. I am a railway fan so there isn’t a better place for me to stay…. Mark and Jo did a great job setting and maintaining this piece of history. Trains are about connecting people and communities. And Platform One extends this retired train’s life in continuing serving this very purpose.

I absolutely recommend The Railway Carriage and will definitely be back. It is phenomenal value, 15 minutes to town and activities but everything you need is on site, we were even greeted with freshly baked bread! There is so much love and thoughtful detail in decor and surrounds. Julie let us know before we arrived about the seasonal activities and Doug has a wealth of knowledge about the area. Perfect hosts, couldn't have been more helpful, they gave us privacy and the location is delightful, like going back in time but with all the modern comforts. Playing scrabble with cows at the window and listening to the rain outside sitting by the fire in this beautiful train carriage was absolute bliss 10/10

We had such a wonderful time staying in the train! You can start your day in the outdoor pool, play some frisbee golf, sit and relax in front of a gorgeous view and get cosy inside with a DVD! David and Jenny made us feel very welcomed and cooked a lovely breakfast for us too :) We’ll be coming back for sure!

The train carriage is even more beautiful in person! The space is ambient, cosy and perfectly positioned by the creek and the surrounding gardens which were wonderful to have the opportunity to walk through. Most perfect for a night or two away!

Transported into another time and place, such a wonderful and unique stay in a gorgeous location. The cooked, country breakfast each day was a highlight and a lovely touch. Thank you Jenny and David!
