“Excellent place for an overnight stay. Meals in restaurant were delicious with good portion sizes. Twin room small but adequate. Beds comfortable. TV not working. Free continental breakfast was a lovely surprise. Will definitely stay again. ”
“Just needed to find a room at night for sleeping temporarily; unfortunately its wall to next room is thin like paper, I could hear neighbor’s snoring!! ”
“Amazing how they were able to equip the train carriage with modern amenities while retaining the original charm. Bath was an add on unit with full fixtures but integrated with the train. Good AC and heating options and nice kitchenette. Check out the fabulous Hobbit and ferrry boat options.”
“This property was very unique and a great place to stay, especially after visiting the Hobbiton Movie Set earlier in the day. The rooms did smell a little like “Middle Earth” when we arrived, but the fans were running and the owners were obviously trying to deal with the problem which was much appreciated.

Thank you”
“The surrounding is beautiful and close bye everything where we came for.
Many lamps didn’t work. There were no pictures of the 2 sleeping eras below in the ship on the information site.
They had no comfort and had not a pleasant smell, what keep some of us awake.
All in all much too expensive what we got!”
“It was just as described but a too small for 4 adults. Great for family for one night. Very close to Black water caves, it was perfect for that. The Fat Kiwi Cafe is a must visit just 9 minutes down the road. Missed a stove but the BBQ was a great improvision. Very cool concept. ”
