Upon arrival we couldn’t believe how well equipped our 2 bedroom apartment was. From extra towels to food in the fridge and cupboards as well as fresh bread. Cooking oil, spreads you name it the list goes on. Nothing but 5star quality and more.

Above and beyond our expectations, we even booked an extra night. We will definitely be back. Thank you Rodney and Michele we had such an enjoyable stay”.– Judith (Jan 2021)

There is a private bathroom at your disposal, but note this is not located in the train carriage, and is a short walk, 20 metres, located next to the swimming pool – also yours to enjoy throughout your stay.

Guest Review – “We had a great stay at the little red carriage. Annalise and Ray could not have been more welcoming. The place is adorable and there’s a super-smart border collie named Clancy who will play all day at the pool. Highly recommend!” – Anna (Jan 2021)

Guest Review – Lou’s place is a lovely retreat hidden in the hills, the cabin itself is beautifully decorated and has a great amount of outdoor space whilst still feel Anthony and Cass are just the most spectacular kind of humans and this place is an absolute dream. I cannot recommend this enough – if there was a step above super host they’d deserve that – thank you for everything very private. The view alone is enough to make us want to book again! – Kira (Feb 2021)
