- Neil (10/5): -
- Zoe (10/5): Beautiful stay, loved the idea of train carriage for a bed and breakfast - Keys were in the door
Dave came and greeted us and showed us where most of the useful item in the room was and places to visit
- Philip (10/5): -
- Gill (9/5): -
- Benjamin (10/5): A unique, handcrafted, and incredibly cozy experience - This was such a lovely stay! You can really feel the love and craftsmanship that went into building these carriages; they are incredibly well-furnished and just a super cool concept. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is highly recommended for anyone looking for something unique. There wasn't much to complain about at all. The only thing to keep in mind is that there can be a few mosquitoes in the area, which is quite normal for this natural setting. We didn't mind it, but it’s good to be prepared and perhaps keep the windows closed or use repellent. It certainly didn't spoil our experience!

- Kim (9/5): -
- Isobel (10/5): -
- Juliet (10/5): - Loved our stay! Super relaxing environment with such great attention to detail. Has everything you could need. There’s even some information on the lovely couple building the carriages and what to do in the area.
- Sharon (10/5): -
- Narelle (8/5): Lovely accommodation - Lovely quiet location. Nothing.
- Christine (10/5): -
- Steve (10/5): Perfectly, secluded spot, with plenty of surrounding beauty close-by. Wish we had more time here! - Replica train carriages parked right next to the real thing, you'll look forward to their arrival according to the provided timetable! Cozy firepit outside, HUGE shower and the space inside the carriage is perfect for a couple and their weekend getaway! The breakfast was perfect for what we like to get the day started! And the fact that the hosts come to check to see whether we'd like anything we may have used, topped up for the next day was wonderful!! in fact the friendliness of our hosts was exceptional. We don't feel anything could be better! We enjoyed our stay immensely! We aren't sure how anyone could find issue with the presentation, the kindness of the hosts or this lovely location!!
- Janaka (10/5): excellent accommodation and highly recommended - location, clearness and host nothing
- Yanqin (6/5): 旅行最差的一晚 - 房间设施不错,也很漂亮 早餐太简单,其中一人两片的面包片很干硬,等于没有,地点比较偏,本以为会安静,结果房间靠近重载火车线,大约两小时过一次,夜间多次被震醒,几乎没睡。房间墙角有很多蚂蚁,女主人清理后,我们把杀虫药留下准备再用,因为杀虫剂的味道,还有要继续杀蚂蚁,就没有关窗,打开了空调,一会儿男主人来敲门,这时我丈夫已经躺在床上准备休息,我去开门,他说要关上窗再开空调,我说我丈夫在休息,我会把𥦬关上。他还是直接进屋去关窗,无语
- Kathleen (10/5): Amazing place must visit if passing through. Absolutely lovely couple who own the property go above and beyond -
- Janine (10/5): -
- Phil (10/5): Fantastic site and very romantic. - All was GREAT> Not having enough to stay longer.
- Dave (10/5): -
- Debbie (10/5): A definite favourite of all our stays over the years - will be back! - Brilliant location, a wonderful and informative welcome from our host, and fantastic facilities. Bonus was the incredibly generous continental breakfast! Only disappointment was nowhere to put our clothes - a small chest of drawers would have been helpful.
- Carol (9/5): nice location, great tosee trains go by. - . .
- Cecilia (10/5): Supercharmigt boende! -
- Leah (10/5): -
- Michele (10/5): Unique and sensational experience. - Absolutely superb experience. Dave was so helpful and genuine, and made great suggestions for the next leg of our trip. He's done a brilliant job with the carriages. They rival many hotel rooms, and have more than enough for what your need. Being able to sleep with the windows open and breathe in the fresh country air was great, and the stillness and sounds of birds was wonderful. Hearing the occasional train passing (and seeing them) was a quirky benefit. We'll be back. Nothing.
- Roslyn (10/5): - Peaceful location, beautiful and clean train carriage accomodation. Communication with host was excellent and breakfast supplied along with cookies and coffees/teas etc.
- Alexander (9/5): Eine andere besondere und sehr empfehlenswerte Übernachtung - Der Gastgeber ist bei der Ankunft zu uns gekommen hat uns begrüßt und uns alles erklärt
- sharon (10/5): Our stay was supercalafragalistic as the movie says....ex ellent and we will be bacjk - Great breaky...hots were amazing..accomodationwas first class..made to feel welcome..the surrounds were lovely We loved everythinh
- Juergen (10/5): Eine tolle Anlage, alles sehr gepflegt. Es war ein super Aufenthalt. - Eine wunderschöne sehr gepflegte Anlage mit den 2 originellen Waggons. Alles war sehr sauber und organisiert. Superfreundliche Hausherren die uns begrüßt und auch verabschiedet haben. Der Pool war bei den heißen Temperaturen eine super Erfrischung. Alles perfekt.
- Wendy (10/5): - This accommodation was very comfortable and very well maintained. Dave met us shortly after we arrived and showed us all the ins and outs of this well-appointed carriage. It had well-fitted screens on all the windows to allow for as much or as little ventilation as you could want. The windows sealed completely so when we put the a/c on due to a lack of any wind, it worked very effectively. Since we were not self-catering, all the information Dave supplied in his emails and in printed form in the carriage about nearby dining options was appreciated as was the breakfast supplied. We highly recommend this place. Tip: be sure to follow the directions provided by the hosts; not your GPS.
- Chris (10/5): Immer wieder gerne! - Einzigartige Übernachtungsmöglichkeit mit sehr gut ausgestatteten Wagen (Küche, sehr saubere Dusche und eine kleine überdachte Terrasse). Wir haben die Unterkunft auf unserer Durchreise nach Sydney verwendet und waren sowohl von der Umgebung als auch vom Gastgeber positiv überrascht. Man hat hier auf jeden Fall mal Ruhe :) Nichts
- Marchese (10/5): - the uniqueness of the accommodation was great. furnishing was impeccable. Dave was great and very informative. he gave us a run down of the area and places to see. The attention to detail with everything was impressive down to the breakfast provided. Pity it was only an overnight stay for us, but i would definitely like to go back for a couple of days and enjoy the Nambucca beach. I don't think there was anything i didn't like. It was a lovely place.
- Francesca (10/5): Perfect, unique, 100/10 would recommend - The hospitality from the owners was unparalleled, the cleanliness, the location, the charm We didn’t like leaving
- Peter (10/5): Beautifully presented property for a very unique experience. Will return. - Peaceful (yet exciting when trains pass) and incredibly relaxing stay at Nambucca Valley Train Carriages. Your hosts Dave and Diane are lovely people who’ve created a very special and unique experience. Hidden in beautiful farm land the carriages are beautifully presented with everything you could need and both Nambucca Heads and Macksville are a short drive away. (Dave recommended the Macksville Hotel for their ribs and wings which was amazing) 100% will return. Nothing.
- Helen (10/5): Unique overnight stay - Spacious clean comfortable and quiet overnight stay in a unique place Heard one train come by in the middle of the night but wasn't too loud and added to the experience so not an issue at all
- Greg (10/5): "Feel the serenity" - Key left in door as arranged by owners Nothing, everything was good
- Renee (9/5): -
- Jerzy Jurek (8/5): Unique place in nature close to Nambucca Heads - Unique experience, clean and functional, comfortable bed. Surrounded by nature.
- RODNEY (9/5): Feeling The Serenity. - We liked the originality of the accommodation, the peacefulness of the location and the beauty of the surrounding area. There was nothing about our short stay that we disliked.
- Keith (8/5): - Felt like being in a genuine rail carriage conversion.
Dave and Diane were very friendly and helpful when we had trouble working out the induction stove top.
The electric bbq on the landing worked a treat and was super easy to clean. Only a minor thing. It would have been nice to have the option of full cream milk. Not everybody is on a diet!
- Dinah (10/5): Perfect! - The proximity to everything we wanted to see.
The story the building of the trains.
How the hosts have embraced the location and built to suit.
How clean the accommodation was and the attention to detail the hosts have put inn to ensure that guests have everything they need
How helpful the host was There was nothing that we didn’t like
- Paula (9/5): Very comfortable accomodation - This is our 2nd time at the trains and won’t be our last.We love that it’s comfortable and clean with everything you need. Dave is such a friendly host .
- Donna (8/5): -
- Robert (9/5): -
- David (10/5): We stopped there last year and loved it that’s why we stayed again this year - Everything Nil
- Kiran (10/5): - Great breakfast. And lovely people. We will be back. It was perfect.
- Paula (10/5): Relaxing and comfortable - On arrival we were met by our host ,Dave, who is friendly and easy to talk to. He showed us around the property and our accomodation ( neat as a pin and clean as a whistle) we both enjoyed a comfortable nights sleep . Thanks Dave n Dianne 🌼
- Owen (9/5): Very pleasant - quiet, only 2 units
- Kirstin (10/5): Perfect place to relax and rewind. - Very relaxing, quiet bush setting with added bonus of trainspotting through the trees.
Excellent hosts and very convenient stopover between Brisbane and Sydney. All good!
- Julie-Anne (10/5): Beautiful scenery, people and property. - Theme. Leaving!
- Carolyn (10/5): We loved the tranquility & we both slept like babies 😀 - Such a peaceful & beautiful property
- Linda (10/5): - The accommodation was amazing and Dave was a brilliant host. Lovely position and interesting to see the occasional train pass by. The breakfast left in the van was a nice touch too. Would recommend to anyone wanting a different kind of experience 😍 Everything was perfect 👍
- Tessa (8/5): Loved the bush setting! - The location was extremely quiet and peaceful - perfect after a long day of travel. I thought the train carriages were quaint and interesting. Spacious and well designed inside.
I must admit to being a little disappointed though, that they weren’t old carriages that had been restored. They were new builds that (from what I understand) were from old plans. While they were extremely well done, they lacked authenticity (but then, I’m a bit of a purist 😄). Despite that one reservation, I would recommend Nambucca Valley Train Carriages.
- Linda (9/5): - Loved the trees and bird song. Nicely equipped kitchen. Quiet when windows closed for train noise.
- Carolyn (10/5): Unique clean and friendly - Everything Nothing
- Robert (10/5): -
- Shaun (8/5): A great option for anyone looking for something a little different. - Wonderful, private location with great Country views. We had breakfast one morning while watching a family of wallabies very near our carriage doing the same. Our host was very forthcoming with information about the local area. He also provided us with very specific instructions (including a video) for finding the accommodation - which could otherwise be a little tricky. Whilst a little remote, which suited us, it is within easy driving distance of attractive places to visit. Nothing really.
- Paul (9/5): - Location was lovely, quiet and easy to find
Accommodation was excellent, clean, plenty of room and well thought out
Breakfast was a bonus
We liked the photo album with a little history on how the carriages came about. The bed was a little uncomfortable at first, but it was a warm night
- Reyne (9/5): -
- Leah (10/5): One of the best places I have stayed in Australia - Everything! Beautiful location, wonderful host, no need to worry about breakfast, close to everything, and you're staying in a train carriage—what's not to like? Nothing I had no problems with this property
- Angela (10/5): - Clean. Great setting. Interesting. Nothing
- Leonie (10/5): Excellent, excellent place to stay. - Best and most original accommodation on our recent trip. Carriages are clean, well-fitted out and the breakfast was excellent. Location is superb - kookaburras calling and no road noise. No faults at all. We would love to come back.
- Mark (9/5): Peaceful and quiet. - The peace and quiet and the sound of various birds particularly in the morning.
- Renald (10/5): - Welcome by host. Unique built of accomodation Nothing I did not like
- Leon (10/5): We really enjoyed staying in this gem of a place. - Train carriage accommodation beautifully done. Great location.
- Graham (9/5): An enjoyable train carriage in bushland - The train carriages are located next the main North Coast line, checking out the timetable and heading down to the track to wave at the passing train. Even though the track is fairly close by, the train noise wasn't discomforting. Birdlife is abundant in the area. The very friendly mossies

- sharon (10/5): Awesome will definitely be back - The uniqueness of the carriages and the laundry in a phone booth .. the hosts were very informative and welcoming Our stay couldn’t be longer
- Peter (10/5): A most enjoyable stay in a bush setting - The accommodation consisted of novel purpose built replica railway carriage sensibly laid out and a pleasureable experience I was concerned we left condensation in the bathroom after showering. To protect this lovely property maybe guests should consider partially opening a window to assist ventilation.
- Georgina (10/5): We loved our stay wld highly recommend it good value for noney - Breakfast was terrific & picking up keys easy as Nothing
- Lorelle (10/5): a very comfortable and secure stay - Beautiful setting and facilities
- Peter (10/5): Wish we could have stayed longer ! - Unique accomodation built to look like an old train carriage but with all the comforts of home. It was set on a picturesque property, overlooking a valley, 5-10 mins from Nambucca Heads. We had everything you needed, and more for a very comfortable stay. Dave gave us a fabulous run down on what to see and do in the area. Only wished we could have stayed longer !

- Annette (8/5): Very good -
- Yvonne (10/5): Exceptional - This accommodation was very cute. People who love trains would appreciate the location and the history of the construction of the carriages. They are in a quiet and pretty setting. Very clean and comfortable. The telephone box laundry was a very novel way to add interest in the stay. We stayed one night but would be nice to stay longer. I could not think of anything I didn't like.
- Mark (10/5): Excellent place to stay! They go the extra mile! - Everything! Nothing!
- Sandra (10/5): Wish we could have stayed longer - David was friendly and helpful. The Carriage was well appointed and very comfortable. I wish we could have spent more time there, there isnt a thing I didn't like,is a great location and accommodation
- Janet (10/5): Perfect peaceful getaway - We loved our stay in the red carriage. It was very comfy and had everything we needed to dine in. The view of the bushland from all windows was beautiful. The surroundings were peaceful. We enjoyed some time sitting around the fire. The bathroom was perfect and even supplied with body wash and shampoo for use under the rain shower. Nothing
