The Station
B&B has a kitchen, bathroom, lounge and queen-sized bedroom with an
adjoining room and extra single bed. It is ideal for couples, and a third person
or child.
The kitchen was once the ladies' waiting room, the lounge was
formerly the
public waiting room and still has the original hatch (complete with wire
security grill) and kauri counter. The lounge connects to the station master’s
office, now a charming queen-sized bedroom with an iron bed and cotton bed
linen. There’s an adjoining
dressing room (formerly the parcels room) with a single bed.
The matai floors have been sanded and polished throughout. There’s a
woodburner in the lounge for cosy winter evenings and a halogen light for easy
reading of our collection of books on local, rail and NZ history.
The Station B&B has TV, radio/CD player,
microwave, fridge, stove, hairdryer,
iron, heated towel rails, heaters in each room, and electric blankets.
The
Te Horo railway station was moved from its original site beside the main trunk
line
30 years ago. We began restoration work on the building in 2000. After a constant stream of requests from friends and family
wanting to stay the night in a “real train station” we decided to convert
it into self-contained accommodation.
Breakfast:
We leave yummy provisons in the kitchen for self-service, or
serve an
equally yummy breakfast if you prefer. Continental or cooked, or perhaps a bit
of both? You decide, we provide.
Rates NZ$150.00 per night double; NZ$120.00 single.
