Caboose Accommodation with Stunning Views of Mount Fyffe in Kaikoura, New Zealand

This unique caboose accommodation is located on a farm just four kilometers south of Kaikoura, New Zealand, and can accommodate four guests. The caboose is one of only two in the world and took over two years to complete, with beautifully stained wood panels. It is double skinned and fully insulated with thick sheep's wool insulation. There is one bedroom in the caboose with a second in its companion sleep-out caboose. A super-king-size bed can divide into two king-single beds, plus two single bunk beds in the sleep-out. The bathroom at the back of the wagon has a toilet room with a sink and a separate shower. Linens, towels, and toiletries are provided. Bathroom robes are provided in adult sizes and guests can purchase these from the host if they wish.



The wagon features a compact kitchen with a microwave, a refrigerator, kettle, toaster, rice cooker, sink, crockery, and cutlery as well as tea and coffee making facilities. At the front of the wagon, there is a small lounge area with a stunning view of Mount Fyffe. Here, guests will find an electronically adjustable table, a 23” widescreen HDTV and Blu-ray/DVD/CD player, and a comfy faux-leather sofa. Other amenities include an air conditioning unit that doubles as a heat-pump and is controlled with an infrared handset. Outside, there is a bath heated by burning wood and a fully-equipped shared outdoor barbecue shelter.



Guests staying in this accommodation share certain outdoor facilities with guests staying in other accommodations on the property. These include a fully-equipped outdoor barbecue shelter with a gas barbecue, a gas oven, a hob, a sink, crockery, cutlery, and outdoor tables and chairs. Glampers will have exclusive access to the host's private collection of farm animals including llamas, pigs, alpaca, sheep, deer, ducks and chickens.
