This wonderful old freight train carriage has been fully refitted to bring you the best in luxury unique accomodation. Set in the quiet alpine forests of Queenstown, The Box Car features an outdoor private bath, Smart Projector, internal log fireplace, bespoke furniture and more. Whether you’re an adventure seeker, or simply wanting a romantic private hideaway, The Box Car brings you all of the above and makes for a truly memorable experience. The space Whilst The Box Car is small, the space doesn’t scrimp on the things that matter. Original restored floorboards, designer fittings and 100% cotton sheets amongst other things, will make your stay an unforgettable one. Your hosts are passionate about building and restoring small spaces including Airstream Caravans and Tiny Homes and we give our guests what we believe is the highest in quality, premium accomodation. Guest access The Box Car is your own private getaway however the driveway and main house (where your hosts live) is visible from your stay. Whilst the Box Car seems close to the main house, we assure you that your privacy is important and we will endeavour to ensure this during your stay. Other things to note We don’t provide wood for the indoor fire during the summer months unless on request. STRICTLY NO SMOKING OR VAPING IN OR ON THE PROPERTY Check out @the_box_car_queenstown for more!
Welcome! We’re your hosts, Dugald (said like ‘Doo-ghoul-d’) and Renee. Dugald is originally from West Sussex in the UK and Renee is a born and bred Kiwi. We design and build unique small spaces, and here is one of them!
The Box Car is located just a short drive out of central Queenstown along the beautiful lakeside Glenorchy-Queenstown road. Wilson's Bay is just around the corner and perfect for a day at the beach and a dip in the lake if you're brave enough! New Zealand's best restaurants and bars are just a short drive away.
