Te Pahika was built in the early 1900's and operated as a guards van ( train carriage) until 1963 when it crashed at Moana.
It has now been beautifully and sympathetically restored to offer an unique accommodation experience. The main carriage houses the bedroom and dressing area overlooking the pond while the newly built "station " houses the fully equipped kitchen and modern bathroom and links to the carriage by a semi covered deck (platform)
If you are looking for somewhere unique where you can unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet you will not be disappointed.
Te Pahika is set in the middle of our 4 acre property at the end of the pond with a native bush backdrop.
Te Pahika does not have a TV. An ideal opportunity to enjoy a good book and perhaps a glass of wine or cup of coffee while you soak up the peace and quiet.
A few board games, cards, books and magazines are provided.
The complex has a sheltered rustic outdoor bath nestled among a bush backdrop area for you to enjoy.
