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.
