After a rough couple of days traveling, pitching and unpitching the tent, we decided on looking for somewhere to stay, we couldn't have chosen a better place. The red carriage was a wonderful suprise. A real nice bespoke built cabin with charm and a comfortable interior. The bed is as soft as you like, clearly no expense spared. Bathroom is modern with surprisingly good water pressure. This place gave us the rest we needed. Diane, lovely lady, met us when we arrived and explained the place, even had breakfast ready in the fridge for us.
Do yourself a favour and book this wonderful place for yourself.

We had a couple of amazing nights in the well appointed, beautifully decorated red train carriage. The surrounds make you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere even though you’re only a few km from populated towns. Train spotting is a unique experience that makes you feel like a young kid waiting for the drivers to toot their horn. Hosts, Dave and Dianne, were very welcoming and pointed us in the direction of great, local day trips. Getting your home town placed upon the ‘Mash Pole’ is a fantastic inclusion-making the place feel like a little piece of you is there. Thank you, and we’ll love to come back!

The accommodation is lovely and watching the trains is awesome but the mosquitoes are unbearable even with citronella candles and personal insect repellent we were bitten so badly.

Wow, where to start upon arriving at the Nambucca trains we were delighted to see the thoughtful train signs leading up the driveway, which let us easily to our carriage. The carriage area was delightful with a central campfire area, washing machine box and so much firewood, pre-cut and ready to go. The carriage itself what was truly delightful. The care and love put into the carriage was above & beyond. Not only was their exterior and interior accurate, the accommodation was decorated so gorgeous and we felt right at home immediately. What struck us most is the amount of attention and detail that went above and beyond in our stay. Breakfast, snacks and barbecue, refreshments beverages and bathroom goods were all laid out, lovingly, ready for our arrival. Dave was so kind to come down and meet us at our arrival and share with us some amazing tips to explore the area as well as letting us know about the carriages themselves, which was highly insightful and made us feel right at home. We also thoroughly enjoyed the train watching platform. We hope to come up again for the soul purpose of staying on the train.

This was such a wonderful place to stay for the evening, Dave was very welcoming and helpful sharing local knowledge and information about the trains and places to eat. The carriage is lovely and modern on the inside and we loved the australiana themed touches. The breakfast was delicious and a perfect way to start the morning in the sunshine. It was lovely having the windows open and listening to nature and it was cool to see the trains go by.

Great little hidden gem near Nambucca Heads. Very unique setup in a bespike build train look a like cabin. It had everything you needed for a short or long stay. Very modern. Fire place for evening bonfires. Washing machine outdoors. Driving distance to shops & lots of local beaches. Good quiet roads for road cycling right at the door step. The host Dave was super helpful with all the local tips.

An amazing experience! Dave is a great host and has done a wonderful job creating these replica vintage carriages - the attention to detail is remarkable. We only stayed one night, but wished we could stay longer

The place is beautiful, clean and welcoming. Our host, Dave, was most intentional in advising us of places to see when we left. We only spent one night there but we highly recommend Dave and Diane's wagon for your stay in the area.

Dave and Diane were excellent hosts with lots of useful insights into the local surrounding areas. Dave especially helped us with exploring the local scenery including locations of waterfalls, waterholes and the best snorkelling spots. The carriages were beautifully presented and the fire pit was a great space for our nye shenanigans. We will definitely be staying there again when in the Macksville/Nambucca Heads area.

My stay at Dave and Diane's was lovely! The property is beautiful and the train cabin was lovely! I arrived very late from Sydney, and Dave checked in during my journey to make sure I got there okay and knew exactly how to find the place. It was very welcoming. Sounds of birds an a beautiful little balcony to have a morning tea. Lots of trees and nature. Would recommend!

This carriage is paradise. The bed is to die for and waking up cosy in nature is unbelievable. There is an actual train track situated about 30 meters down in the valley and a viewing platform so you can wave them hello. The carriage is equip with everything you can need for a lovely stay. Including a stunning shower with views of paradise. Diane and Dave were incredibly helpful in offering suggestions of activities and cafes etc for the neighbourhood. And the beaches nearby are incredible. I HIGHLY recommend experiencing this delightful stay.

We really enjoyed our time at Nambucca Valley Train Carriages Red Carriage. The facilities were thoughtfully designed and immaculately clean. The train timetable for the sleepy north coast line was also a nice touch

Loved our stay! Surrounded by lush bush, super cute & modern carriage accomodation. The outlook is lovely and waving to a train down by the line and receiving a toot back was pretty fun! Would love to come back and stay more than one night. Thank you Dave & Diane. You were super friendly and accommodating. Will defiantly be recommending your stay!
