Beautiful 1927 Train carriage (Guards Van) set in a peaceful location only a few minutes walk to the beach. You will here the odd train pass by and you will be able to hear the ocean lapping at the shore near by. Great view of the Kaikoura mountains while sitting in the outdoor bath with a wine or beer. Listen to the native birds and relax and enjoy the tranquility of the day or evening. Great night sky views with plenty of stars.

Collect a wide range of New Zealand peices and antiques from Maori collectables and FunHo Toys, nautical peices and anything New Zealand . Enjoys old American cars such as pick up trucks and Chevs and Dodges. Spends recreational time trolling through second hand shops, trade me and op shops for anything different and interesting.

Our place is in a peaceful location with a beach close enough to be on your door step. The beach is quiet and often you will see Hector dolphins swimming along the coast. Whale watch, swim with the dolphins and drive up the coast to see the baby seals in the water hole.
