Absolutely superb!

I had a magnificent stay, I have been recommending it to anyone who will listen. The Tram is just as cute as the photos, really a unique place and done up really well. The pool and the view were so relaxing, also easy access to some hikes with amazing views. My dog loved this. Feeding the animals in the morning was fun Nadia has so much knowledge about them and they are so well cared for. Overall the stay was just perfect!

A perfect relaxation retreat

This quaint little cabin, and by cabin we mean fully decked out Melbourne tram with claw foot bath, was an absolute delight. Nadia was an absolute gem, even as going as far as returning items we forgot in the fridge. 100% would stay again, even if only for the miniature ponies. But you’ll also get lovely views by the poolside, or just a quick walk around the property. And fresh eggs!

The Tram

The Tram is a quirky place to stay, it’s probably unfair to comment as the Weather impacted our stay, heavy rain most days. However we would go back in the future.

Out of this world

Totally blown away by the tram experience. Knew it would be good but the whole set up and location was perfect. Everything has been thought through perfectly and the little additions supplied are really great. Pool experience to be seen to be believed. Loved it! Great location for walking and getting away from everything

I’d go back!

We loved our little escape; the rolling hills are a nice touch. The bed was a too small for my partner and I as we are over 6ft tall. The daily animal feeding is very sweet. The phone reception was quite terrible but thankfully I didn’t need to use my phone. The walk around the property is beautiful but our dog got a tick from a quick night walk. We thankfully had tweezers when we found the tick on his face the next day. Overall, we felt safe and happy. We particularly picked this property to stay at because it was pet friendly! We will go back again one day.

So happy you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the 5 star review. Perhaps book one of our other cottages with a queen sized bed for your next stay. Telsra here is 5G and provides very good service but other services, especially the budget ones such as Virgin or Vodaphone provide quite bad service in our area as they do in many country areas. You can get a Telstra prepaid chip for your phone if better service here is wanted or needed. It has been years since we have seen a tick collected in our gardens. This was unlucky if this was where you were walking. You could expect this possibility in the long grass along the Noosa Trail this time of year and needs to be considered. Important to ensure you have tick protection for your dog while enjoying the country in the summer months. Look forward to seeing you all again.

A glorious hidden gem

Pictures don't do this place any justice - it's truly gorgeous. The views are spectacular, especially from the pool area. Watching the sunrise over the valley was magical. The tram itself is lovingly restored and retains all its charm with luxurious amenities. Although it isn't well insulated, it never got too hot or cold for me (I think I came at the perfect time of year!) and I never had any issue with bugs. The animals were a beautiful highlight, and I was kept well stocked for eggs even when I couldn't join the morning feeding. Nadia and Paul have created a beautiful hidden gem, and I hope the new owners will continue their great work. Thank you again for your kindness!

Relaxing getaway!

My recent stay with Nadia was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Her warm hospitality and attention to detail made me feel right at home. The moment I stepped into her beautiful property, I knew I had made the right choice. The tram was not only impeccably clean and well-maintained but also exquisitely decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Nadia's thoughtfulness shone through the little touches she added to ensure a comfortable stay. Communication with Nadia was a breeze; she was prompt in responding to any queries and offered valuable local tips for exploring the area. The location of the property was perfect - a peaceful and safe neighborhood. It was just what I needed for a relaxing getaway. Nadia's genuine care for her guests truly sets her apart as a fantastic host. She went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed throughout my stay, and it was evident that she takes great pride in creating a memorable experience for her guests. I can't recommend Nadia's property enough! Whether you're visiting for leisure or business, you can expect a top-notch stay. Thank you for making my trip so special!

Nice but perhaps not for winter!

The Melbourne Tram was interesting but pretty chilly despite reverse aircon due to the wind blowing in all the gaps! Despite that we enjoyed our stay and the scenery was superb. The access road isn’t the easiest and put us off going out at night. A few inaccuracies in the online description were a little frustrating. It says there is Foxtel but there isn’t. Only Austar and no free to air channels. On a winter trip this was annoying. No hairdryer - we would have brought our own had we known. We would return but probably to one of the larger properties where sitting in the winter sun would have been possible! We are Scottish and used to the cold but sadly a wee bit chilly for us! In summer it would be glorious and the pool looked amazing!

Hi Liz, The tram does have Foxtel TV with the movie package, sports and documentaries and that was what you were watching. Austar is no longer in operation and all services went to Foxtel a few years back hence the Austar name the satellite box. We imagine this is what lead you to think you were watching Austar but indeed it was Foxtel. The hairdryer is in the vanity drawer. We had followed through with an email to you about both of these comments we found on our feedback card. You stated that you knew that Austar no longer existed but wanted certain fee to air channels. You also mentioned the chilliness of the tram. We found that you had the reverse cycle air conditioning heating set at 24 c and one window was partially open. We imagine this could have been the issue you were having. We have checked since at night and with other guests following onto your stay and all find it to be toasty warm throughout. We leave a welcome card for all guests asking to let us know if we can do anything to make you more comfortable during your stay. We wish you only had let us know these issues as we could have resolved them for you. Warm regards, Paul & Nadia Rosecliffe Boutique Farm Cottages Nadi & Paul Rosecliffe Boutique Farm Cottages Warmest regards. Nadia & Paul Rosecliffe Boutique Farm Cottages

Under the beautiful ficus. A unique stay in a charming Melbourne tram on a farm shared with others.

The property and other accommodation is beautifully maintained. The horses, cattle, chickens, alpacas and lama a treat for children and adults. Thank you for the fresh eggs available daily. The ficus that covered the tram was especially lovely in the rain. Many native birds visited the tree. We saw kookaburras, sulfur crested cockatoos, bar shoulder doves, spotted turtle doves, koel, scrub turkey and his mound, galahs and even a large goanna. Nadia is a lovely host that had time to talk to her guests and share knowledge of the area.

Movie Star Getaway

We had such a fabulous time staying in the Melbourne Tram! Wonderfully presented with thoughtful touches such as chilled champagne & chocolates waiting. There were some awesome storms while we were up and we felt like we were on a murder-mystery set. The location & views are stunning, with great food options down at Pomona. We’ll certainly be back!

Stunning location, exquisitely beautiful accommodation

The Melbourne Tram exceeded our expectations. The bed and furnishings are beautiful and luxurious. The claw foot bath wonderful with bubbles and bubbly. The toilet in the conductors cabin is just brilliant. We enjoyed the outdoor fireplace under the old fig tree, the amazing views on our drive up ( we stopped to take photos), the views from what be the most beautiful pool setting I have experienced ( sunrise at the pool is a must), the abundance of birds, the trails and many fine restaurants but a 10 minute drive away. The delivery of fresh eggs left for us in the morning was a real treat. A true hidden gem. Thank you Paul & Nadia.
