A country breakfast is included in the tariff and is served at the house daily between 8 am - 9 am.
.Carriage No. 4388 is a fully self contained art deco inspired railway carriage suitable for 2 adults. A country breakfast is included in the tariff and served in our glassed in front verandah.
The carriage contains a cosy Queen size bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen/dining area, lounge room and bathroom.
Movie buffs will enjoy looking at our collection of old movie posters that line the walls in the spacious lounge room area. You will also find a DVD and video library as well as magazines and board games.
Reading or watching an old movie sitting in front of the slow combustion wood fire is a perfect way to spend a cold, winter Canberra day. In the warmer months the train also has air conditioning and windows that provide a nice through breeze.
The large wrap around verandah is an ideal spot to enjoy a BBQ while admiring the starlit skies, beautiful sunsets and stunning views.
It is also an ideal location for seeing kangaroos, echidna and bird life.

What a fantastic experience. Went for a break to recharge the batteries, certainly did that and more. Three wonderful nights, great breakfasts and excellent hosts. If you want peace and tranquility, b...eautiful sunrises and sunsets and wildlife at your front door, this is for you. Only 30 minutes from all Canberra has to offer, if you want to leave. Thank you to Jenny and David for a great experience.

We had the best long weekend staying at Carriage 4388! Jenny and David were so hospitable. We looked forward to the breakfast every morning! The freshly squeezed orange juice and farm eggs were so ama...zing! It was so peaceful staying in carriage 4388 away from the hustle and bustle! Loved having all the kangaroos and love birds around! Within walking distance of 3 lovely wineries and only a 10 minute drive from Hall where there is a great walking track! Couldn’t recommend staying here enough! We will certainly be back to try the 3 other carriages! Thank you Jenny and David for a lovely weekend in Carriage 4388!

Wine Tasting At Surveyors Hill Vineyards

Surveyors Hill Vineyards is within easy walking distance from the Vintage Tram No. 590. They offer wine tasting and sales, as well as weekend lunches. During our tasting, we discovered that the bulbous hill sitting beside the rows of vines behind us was the namesake of the vineyard. The owners were kind enough to let us take the ‘scenic route’ to our next destination; through the rows of gnarly, off-season grapevines - I'd recommend asking if you can do the same!

Wine Tasting At Pankhurst Wines

Pankhurst Wines is a family-owned vineyard that was established in the eighties. Their friendly pup greeted us for our wine tasting, and then owner Christine had us sample a selection of their finest. My favourite? The tempranillo. They also offer cheese platters to accompany a tasting, if you book in advance.

Wine Tasting And Lunch At Brindabella Hills Winery

Brindabella Hills Winery and Vineyards overlooks the Murrumbidgee River, and out towards the mighty Brindabella mountain range. With an in-house cafe and the most amazing view, this is the perfect place to book in for lunch and a glass of wine. Of all the wineries in the region, this is the pick of the litter for an epic view while you sip your vino.

Great Coffee And Cake At Daughters At Hall Cafe

Daughters at Hall is a quaint cafe located on the main street of the historic town of Hall, on the outskirts of Canberra. Originally the town's general story, Daughters at Hall is set in a 126-year-old building and is a local watering hole for post-mountain bike coffees. I'd recommend trying the carrot cake - the serving was enormous and it tasted divine.

One Tree Hill Hike Along The Canberra Centenary Trail

One Tree Hill hike is an easy-to-access, short hike - a great way to stretch those legs after checking out all the fantastic wineries and cafes in the area. It should take you less than two hours to hike the return trail. The track is well-maintained but is also fairly heavily trafficked - the easy access and great views make this walk a Canberra favourite!

Try Some Local Craft Beer At Hops Vine

Hops & Vine is a hub for beer and wine enthusiasts. The wall is covered with specialty drops, and there's a huge fridge full of craft beers to try. We tried out one of Capital Brewing's lagers, and a gluten-free IPA by Wild Polly Brewing Co., another local Canberra brewery. Hops & Vine is set in a 116-year-old heritage building which used to be a wheelwright’s shop, then a dance hall, a picture theatre and an antique shop.
