The Box Car with Outdoor Private Bath

Privacy and perfection!

Nothing!

As lovers of trains and model railways, we were excited to see how the train carriage was wonderfully converted into a compact yet luxurious unit. The highlight is undoubtedly the bathtub on the deck and the privacy. Clean, tidy, quiet, and delightful—we’ll gladly return if we can.

Great design atmosphere and feeling.

Lovely quaint stay just outside of Queenstown. Very cosy setup with everything you need, including a giant projector to watch movies in bed. Very well designed and felt private and tranquil. Easy to find, even checking in late in the dark, host instructions were very clear.

My only qualm was there not being any mugs for a cup of tea! Only tiny teacups

Very neat & stylish tiny home. lying in the outdoor bath at sunrise/ sunset listening to birdsong & resting our weary legs post fjordland hiking .... pure magic! The projector was easy to use- felt as though we had our own private cinema

Quaint and perfect for a pre marathon rest/bath.

Gorgeous location and characterful property

Bit of a smoky smell but understandable due to the wood stove

The Box Car is amazing, everything is very well designed and thought out. Highly recommend staying here and trying the bath is a must!

Private and quiet area slightly outside of queenstown with amazing indoor theatre

Quiet and relaxing

Mattress wasn’t the comfiest for me but my friend loved it!

An outstanding property. This was definitely the highlight of our trip - private, comfortable, cosy (in the best way). Every little thing has been thought of. The outside bath was brilliant in the rain and under the stars. And the projector and screen for movie nights was a great surprise ! Hosts were delightful, great communication but left us to our privacy as well.

Not a bad word to say about it. Would 100% stay again in a heartbeat.

The Box Car is stylish and finished to a high level. It feels authentic to the owners, but also comfortable and stylish for a short break.

We are so glad we made the choice to stay out of the hustle and bustle of Queenstown centre - The Box Car was such a beautiful, peaceful and cosy retreat, despite still being close to Queenstown. Amazed at how so many creature comforts have been squeezed into such a small space. Loved the attention to detail with the decor and design. And the bed was exceptionally comfortable. It was such a treat have a cosy cinema experience on a chilly rainy night.

Not much to fault, but it would have been nice to have a covered outdoor area for rainy periods.

The outdoor bath and the folding doors opening up on both sides of the boxcar, for indoor/outdoor flow.

Nice little private place

Everything was perfect except these two: The gas for hot water wasn’t on, need to try to find how to turn the hot water did eventually found it. Didn’t received the code for the key at the first time.

Great location and plenty of character.

Great place looks a bit different to the photos though .

Hard to find

I had a wonderful relaxing stay. This was one of the best stays I have ever had. The owners have done a wonderful job of thinking of everything a visitor might need. The place has been created with such quality and uniqueness. Book this, it's a must for the experience and the view from the bath alone!
