Rustic Railway Hut (Dog Friendly)

Escape to the wild in our Rustic Railway Hut—simple, rugged, and surrounded by nature. Tucked away in a private valley on a working farm, this rustic cabin feels like a backcountry hut, yet it’s only 10 minutes from Featherston and an hour from Wellington. Dogs welcome! They can roam 5 acres of dog-safe land or explore the 60-hectare farm on-leash. Basic but cosy, with Starlink internet, USB charging, a composting toilet, and a shower. EV charger available, no extra fee. The space The railway hut is a single-room set up to create a warm, welcoming space for two people. Old but new, it mixes old fashioned country life with modern conveniences. There is a comfy queen bed, sitting area and dedicated workspace with a view over the valley to the railway line. The kitchenette has a hot plate, fridge, oven and vintage crockery. Outside you’re tucked away in a sheltered valley with a verandah for sitting and watching the birds during the day, and a fire pit and BBQ for relaxing at night. On clear nights the night sky is spectacular as we are part of the new Dark Sky Reserve area. The bathroom is next door with a composting toilet, as well as a shower and rustic dressing room. Guest access Your secluded five acre valley is shared with just one tiny house. The valley is fully fenced, so your dog can roam freely, and has access to the river and nearby blackberry patch (ripe in late summer). Guests are encouraged to explore the 60-hectare farm and nearby walking and cycling trails. We are only 10 minutes from Featherston, 15 minutes from Greytown, and 20 minutes from Martinborough. Other things to note There is one other unit on the property, it is about 100m away. We rarely book them both at the same time, and will only accept one dog booking at any time to make sure everyone enjoys their stay.
