Guest Reviews
- Huxtable (8/5): -
- Sheryl (10/5): What a wonderful place to enjoy an overnighter. Would have loved to stay longer - I loved the unique set up of the Tram conversion.
It was comfortable, cozy, and picturesque. It met all our needs as a quick overnight stay. I would have liked to spend more time enjoying the space and surrounds. N/A
- Vinay (10/5): Overall great experience for kid and the place is in good location with all facilities provided for young family. - Great experience for my son. The place was in good location, exceptionally clean and with all good facilities for young family. Host was very friendly and accomodating.
- Katholiky (10/5): Tram Lover's Dream - I chose this type of accommodation for a bit of novelty and to impress my three-year-old son. I didn't have high expectations because hey, how much can you actually fit in a tram carriage? To my surprise however I arrived to a mini railway heaven. The tram had everything you needed for both adults and children to enjoy their stay comfortably. From heating, breakfast and extra blankets to boardgames, books and lots of chocolate. My son had a beautiful backyard full of toys, bikes and cars to ride. He was not bored for one bit. The hosts obviously take a lot of pride in their work and projects. nothing
- David (10/5): A lovely and unique place to stay. - The whole stay was lovely. The only slight downside was not the hosts fault but rather a possum who decided that it would be a good activity to drop acorns onto then tin roof covering Doris the tram throughout the night. The first drop caused such a noise, and because we didn't know what had caused it initially, that it gave my wife a shot of adrenalin making further sleep difficult. In the morning the possum handed over to a cockatoo who continued to drop acorns ion the roof . . . All other aspects of our stay were superb and the tram is such a unique lodging. The possum's unique sense of humour didn't quite align with ours.

- Stephanie (9/5): Fun place to stay and enjoy some Melbourne history! - Such a fun and unique place to stay! Great outdoor space to enjoy, beds were comfy and nice to have breakfast included.
Kerry is very friendly, and gave clear directions. The shower has very low pressure. Disappointing not to have a coffee plunger or Nespresso (or equivalent) for the morning.

- Tracy (9/5): So much fun! - Renovated so well inside to make this a great place to stay, nostalgic for the oldies and fun for the young ones.
Hard to believe you are staying on an actual tram. Well thought out for comfort and even with extra outside seating areas if you feel like you need extra space.
Beautiful little touches by the hosts with all the supplies you could need.

- David (10/5): Delightful short stay with 4yo and 6yo grandkids. We loved the experience ... summer would be nice! - Quite a unique experience and one the grandkids will remember forever. They ride on trams in Melbourne all the time, but none have a toilet, shower, kitchen, TV and you can sleep-over! Nothing ... "Doris" the tram was absolutely spotless and exactly as described.

- Melinda (10/5): Exciting and unique experience for all ages. - Sleeping in a tram was such a unique experience that was exciting for all ages. Everyone enjoyed steering the tram and ringing the bell! The board games and yard games were a hit and we enjoyed relaxing by the fire in the evening. Kerry went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time.
- Elizabeth (10/5): A unique, fun and relaxing experience, making it perfect for a memorable stay! - A very unique place with plenty of amenities and cleanliness. We truly admire the work they did with the 745 tram; it was a wonderful experience spending time there with friends and family.
The beds were very comfortable, the bathroom was clean, and the kitchen, although small (which is understandable since it was a tram), had an outdoor area where we could barbecue and cook our meals more comfortably. The firepit area and especially the living room, which felt like we were traveling, made it all incredibly fun! The only thing I could say is that a few kitchen essentials, like small pots or pans, were missing. Maybe we just didn’t see them, even though we looked around in different places. However, considering all the amenities provided, it felt a bit surprising that these items weren’t there. That’s why I think it’s possible we simply didn’t find them.
- J (10/5): Exceptional -
- Angus (9/5): An unforgettable unique and lovely stay for our family! We had a great time! If you look for somewhere different in a po - The uniqueness of this accommodation is definitely the greatest aspect. The property is very clean, warm and cozy for our chilly weekend getaway. Property manager Kerry is great with her customer service and always prompt with her reply when you have a question. Just a minor drawback with the thudding nosies from the roof (it may due to the winds) and the noises from the neighbors (or other guests at other accommodation) next door after midnight which affected our sleeping quality a bit.
- Giselle (10/5): Wonderful unique and romantic stay. - Especially loved the uniqueness of staying in a Tram. Super impressed too with all they have done to make it very comfortable and snug.
- Chiung (10/5): Exceptional - Great place very beautiful
- Ruth (9/5): Fantastic, unique experience! - The setting was beautiful. The beds in the tram were very comfortable. The heating was very cosy. Kerry & Peter, our hosts, made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed the snacks provided on arrival & the continental breakfast. My daughter loved all the authentic features of the tram, the tram memorabilia & the old pull cord lighting was a hit! That we had to leave 😢
- Morni (10/5): I recommended this uniqueness tram - This accomodation so unique, clean and beautiful. Stay in the tram. My kids so love it. Owner so kind and friendly, once we reach there, they will greet us and introduce us each part of the tram. I cannot describe the uniqueness of this accomodation because you cannot found it at other places in Melbourne or Australia maybe. I really love it. And miss you Coco. Coco is the owner's pet and always follow anywhere they go🥰.My kids live Coco. During night, i did bbq here.So calm area and neighborhood. Just i you want to cook, they do not provide stove but me is ok cook rice using microwave thep provide. Others we grill using bbq they provided outside the tram door.
- Michael (10/5): A tram lovers wonderland - This accomodation was amazing. Just an absolute delight. We took our son for his 6th birthday and he loved it.
The kitchen is perfect, Beds Comfy, Shower Warm and the space is just so interesting. It exceeded our expectations!!!
