Beautiful 1927 Train carriage (Guards Van) set in a peaceful location only a few minutes walk to the beach. You will here the odd train pass by and you will be able to hear the ocean lapping at the shore near by. Great view of the Kaikoura mountains while sitting in the outdoor bath with a wine or beer. Listen to the native birds and relax and enjoy the tranquility of the day or evening. Great night sky views with plenty of stars.
