About this house rental

The Angas Carriage, Alpine, Southern Highlands - 4pm check out Sundays and Public Holidays, except Summer Season

Staying in The Angas Carriage is a truly unique and enjoyable experience. Angas started life as a passenger train in the 1920s and has been loving restored and converted into accommodation for up to 9 guests. The original woodwork and compartment layout make this a beautiful place to be. Modern updates including insulation, kitchen, bathroom, heating and air conditioning ensure that Angas remains comfortable for guests all these years later. This is an accommodation experience that you will not forget.

Where will I be?

The Angas Carriage is located within the Little Forest complex, a collection of 7 cottages spread across 42 acres of grounds. The carriage does have its own private spaces, but please be aware that other guests may be around as well. There are two other cottages in immediate proximity to the carriage so please do expect to occasionally see your neighbours. Communal spaces include the lawns, gardens, driveway and trails, but you will have plenty of privacy as well. The Little Forest complex has a bush setting and is circled on one side by the Sydney - Melbourne railway line. As a result, trains are audible at times, and for any kids, part of the fun! Little Forest also has various trails throughout its 42 acres, but please keep children supervised at all times due to wildlife, unfenced dams and trains.

Why choose The Angas Carriage?

The Angas Carriage is a truly unique accommodation experience. For train lovers young and old, staying here is a wonderful experience. Even without an interest in trains, the modern appointments and beautiful interiors make this a great place to base yourself in the Southern Highlands.

How is the property laid out?

The Angas Carriage is reached down a tree-lined country drive way. You approach the carriage across a lawn and enter up the steel stairs. You enter into the kitchen and dining area. A hallway runs the length of the carriage, off which you will find the 7 bedrooms. The kitchen has a bar fridge, convection microwave and a small gas stovetop. Cooking equipment is supplied. There is a bathroom with shower and toilet that is at the kitchen end of the carriage. At the opposite end is a separate toilet. The windows look out onto the landscaped gardens and surrounding bush.

Wi-Fi, Internet, Netflix or Pay TV will I have it?

A good concept
A good concept
We were not impressed with the cleanliness of the accommodation with hairs in the bathroom and outdoor area quite messy. The plumbing was noisy, clunky or not working at all in some basins. There was insufficient crockery for 8 guests as well as inadequate cooking utensils. There was virtually no salt. The living area was far too small for the number of beds, so if it had been raining and we couldn’t gather outside, it would have been very crowded when eating. A complaint lodged whilst we were staying there has still not be responded to by the managers. The kids enjoyed the novelty of being on a train.
