The Red Caboose Train Carriage

What a wonderful fun experience. Congratulations for creating this magic.

Kitchen equipment could be refreshed.

Small but perfectly formed! A beautiful antique stay with modern touches throughout. The grounds are gorgeous and we loved the hot tub.

It’s perfect - two nights was the perfect length of stay for us as it’s very remote (great for looking at the stars!) and quite cosy (which is part of the charm)

This accommodation was secluded and peaceful - just the right venue to unwind and recharge! The Caboose was surprisingly comfortable and had the basic amenities - would really recommend this accommodation - particularly for smaller families.

Missed not having a shower - but the bath was big and more than made up for it.

What an experience!! Get out and away from the norm/mundane apartments and guest houses, and go experience the beautifully quaint Red Caboose!! The mountain backdrop subtly adds to the ambiance on the carriage which takes you back to times before you were even born 😂 Cherry on top? The best host ever!! We'll certainly be back soon!!

A truly special experience. The train carriage was restored with so much love for detail, showcasing some the unique features. The outdoor area is very inviting and to have not just one, but two splash pools with different temperatures was great. Check in was very smooth.

The location is very close to the road and if you are a light sleeper, bring some ear puds.

Unique stay with amazing amenities! I loved the outdoor pool and really enjoyed spending time in it.

Nothing

The carriage was very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We expected on such a original location to have a semi-camping experience, but it felt like a hotel suite!

Nothing really!

Loved the location, the hot tub, the pool alongside it, the main bed was so super comfy! Host was super responsive and helpful. We had fun!

The toilet smell. As there was no running water when we got there which was later resolved (small town things) we couldn't get the stench out. And toilet seat doesn't stay down to sit on so having to touch it while it being smelly - not for me. Albeit the bathroom was clean, just couldnt get smell away no matter how long we pressed the flush. The bath could also do with a re-enamelling, my boy refused to bath when the toilet alongside it was smelling. The windows also seemed almost impossible to open throughout the carriage. And because bathroom window is one of only window without an insect mesh, doesn't help the smell problem cos can't leave the window open.

The caboose was such a lovely time travel and accommodation that is so unique. Wonderful for a couple getaway

What an experience. The carriage is beautifully restored, and the location is absolutely stunning. It was very clean and the beds were really comfortable. The outside area under the trees, with the hot tub and pool plus the swing in the tree, made you feel so relaxed. Steph was excellent in his communication.

We absolutely loved our stay in the Red Caboose! What a treat to sleep in a beautifully restored train – everything was spotless and so thoughtfully prepared. The wood for the fire was ready and waiting, which made it extra cozy. The host was extremely communicative and responsive, making our stay effortless. My husband is a train enthusiast and this was truly a dream experience for him. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and memorable getaway! Thank you for an amazing getaway, we will definitely be back soon!

Everything. Every detail is well thought out - all you need and don't have personally you can still find in the accommodation. It is a little bit of magic, well maintained and the hosts perfectly cater for you as the guest.

Unique in every way…. Immaculately kept and the views both inside and outside the caboose were gorgeous. The two pools were great- one cool and refreshing on a hot day and the wood heated pool-gorgeous for sunset soaking. Truly an experience to put in the memory bank from eating in the dining cart, to the basins and bathing in an old school world.

It was a magical experience, it was beautiful restored and maintained and very comfortable

It was close to the main road but it wasn’t as bad as it seemed. Didn’t even notice the few cars that passed it wasn’t busy. Mcgregor town does not have much options so head back to Robertson for more.

Unique experience and beautiful stay! The accommodation was super clean. Our host was super friendly and was in contact communication with us to make sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend :) Thanks for the awesome stay!

The carriage was beautifully restored, attention to detail fantastic

Exposure to the main road, pool not screened off

The Red Caboose is a piece of heaven on earth. It was a lovely break away. I have so much respect for the restorations and effort that was put into this project. We will be back. The hot tub was amazing for the breezy nights and the splash pool was amazing for the warm days. The host was great at extending our stay. We even received milk, water a bottle of wine.

The toilet was leaking and had a smell but the host was very accomodating

The hot tub

Buffer or lack of tree line as cover for privacy when you in the tub

Everything

Nothing

It really exceeded all expextations. The caboose is clean and well set up with everything you might need. Attention to small things like bath salt and bubble bath, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion is highly appreciated. The caboose is really very authentic. The hot tub is a plus. Host is very friendly and helpful. Self checkin is an extra plus. The views are spectacular. Bedding is excellent quality and very comfortable.

The toilet has a funky smell most of the time but it is also understandable and can be managed by opening the window.

Loved the setting and nostalgic restoration of the train.Attention to detail was very good..retaining so much original detail of the train yet comforts of modern day.I loved my trip back in time.

Nothing as anything which was out of the norm was in setting with the age of the coach..li ed it.

Great experience!

What a unique experience. An awesome little getaway

Uniquely presented

The Little Red Caboose was adorable - and a must for all train enthusiasts! We loved the story about the restoration of the carriage and the photo book. We also appreciated the few extras that were provided. Many thanks!

Nothing, it was perfect!

Very UNIQUE experience and stay. Hosts were amazing, extremely attentive♡. Very well done for something so different.

Bit tight... Naturally... Although we were only 2. Noisy. With it being situated directly next to the main road/highway when the windows were open it was quite noisy. Other than that, definitely something to experience... YOLO!

The amount of effort that went in to make this a reality is very noticeable. A truly unique experience. So peaceful and tranquil with amazing views and the pool and KolKol just finished it off

Nothing

The train brought back memories of how trains were years back - nostalgia. The wood fire tub is a nice addition, the braai area was comfortable and clean. Nice outside area. Rooms were comfortable and there is enough extra bedding if needed. Kitchen well equipped.

There was nothing we did not like. Some shade would be nice, but the owner did tell us they are working on adding something.

The vintage restoration was done beautifully! And host is excellent at communicating.

Exclusive, something different to the normal.

Quite close to the main road.

I only have good things to say about The Red Caboose. The caboose is beautifully appointed and has every amenity you could need. The bed was very comfortable and the linen pristine. We loved the kol kol hot tub and scenic swing chairs overlooking the farm. It's a truly unique and delightful destination.

The view

The stay was ABSOLUTELY beyond AMAZING !! My family and I had a wonderful time and the host was sooooooooooo accomoding !! We will most certainly be back if we can get a booking !! Highly sought after

It is a very unique property and they have really embraced everything to celebrate the true history of the train. Outside facilities are amazing with a gorgeous splash pool, hot tub and fire pit

Noise from Cars on the road, luckily it is not too busy at night

Beautiful location, stunning and unique accommodation. Loved relaxing in the hot tub at night and the cold pool made such a difference during the day as it got quite hot. Great communication from the host.

There was honestly nothing that I can think of to be improved. The property was clean, beautiful and had great facilities.

From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the beautifully renovated carriage and natures beauty. The attention to detail in every room, enhanced our experience reflecting the dedication and commitment of the host. We highly recommend this place for everyone looking for a serene escape amidst beautiful surroundings. Will most definitely be back!

The outside area was very well maintained. It included a splash pool and hot tub, fire pit, swing and beautiful lawn with a boules set! The inside of the caboose is very well equipped

The accommodation was clean, comfortable, nestled in beautiful surroundings, making for a pleasant stay. Hot tub was a real treat.

It was absolutely amazing and we really enjoyed staying there. What an awesome idea to turn the carriage into something so lovely! It's very well equipped and everything we needed was there. The hot tub was most enjoyable and it was such a pleasure to be there and enjoy nature. Lovely views of the mountains too. Steph was a great host and very helpful. Booking in went very smoothly and Steph was very friendly and always available to answer questions if we needed to know something. We would love to stay there again.

The tap at the bathroom basin didn't work, but maybe it was just me who didn't know how to use it properly. Still, that wasn't an issue.
