Beautiful spot to get away

Absolutely loved the space, very quiet and gorgeous area! The fire was especially well liked once it got cold and kept the caboose nice and toasty. Highly recommend, will be back

Wonderful stay

Sweet place to stay comfy bed and warm fire and cute. Perfect for the 2 of us. Outside shower was so warm a shower light would have been good if showing when sun goes down but loved our stay thank you had everything we needed and eco friendly. Would stay again without a doubt!!

Quirky & cosy stay in Takaka

We loved staying in the Caboose - unexpected gifts (eggs, beer!) and the outside bath under the stars was an undoubted highlight. Thanks for hosting us. Peter & Michelle

My stay at Lisa and Peter's gorgeous wee caboose did so much to elevate my stay in Golden Bay, that I didn't want to leave! The bed, outdoor bath & shower and peaceful garden setting was all 11/10. The nice little touches of a little vase of flowers, milk in the fridge and a bowl of grapes, only added to the ambiance. Thank you! I will be back.

Loved the little caboose. All very clean and with lots of love for detail. Lisa was very nice and the birds sang just beautifully. The dogs are sweet. We just had some problems with the toilet.

A gorgeous property inside and out. Everything you need and more. Very relaxing. The bath is great and the shower, perhaps, even better. Lovely hosts. Easy communication. Enjoy!

Our time at the Caboose was simply brilliant, Lisa and Peter are the best hosts and have done so much to make the place inviting and relaxing. We had everything we needed and more! They've created such a wonderful space to unwind and the location is super if you're looking for a homebase from which to explore what the golden bay has to offer or just to get nice and cozy!

Quirky

Cute and quirky, just not so good in your 70s and you need a loo overnight as the loo is an outside composting one!!

Lovely hosts, beautiful place

The hosts are friendly and respect privacy. Their dog is very sweet and so well behaved! The Caboose is beautiful, well laid out, very clean and quiet. We loved the outside bath! And the shower is a luxury. We are looking forward to going back for another stay!
