Stay in a Melbourne Icon! This iconic W-class Tram was built in Melbourne before 1952 and was servicing commuters until 1992.
Situated on a working farm, home to sheep, alpacas and a vineyard, this is not a cabin in the backyard of a suburban area, it is surrounded by acres of natural bush and parkland providing you complete privacy during your stay with all the modern comforts of home.
Being of historical significance to our great city, the Tram has been restored and renovated with one bedroom, dining area and seating area retaining original features such as signs, shutters and flooring all brought back to life, the graffiti retained. The tram features English designer fabrics, designer wallpaper, antique furniture and a warm ambient setting. The extension of the Tram has open plan living, with lounge chairs, TV, split system and wood fire to enjoy. The kitchenette has microwave, fridge, Smeg coffee machine, toaster and kettle. A modern bathroom with a huge shower, stocked with natural body and hair care products. The front deck invites you on your unique holiday, to sit and enjoy the sounds of nature.
The surrounding acres of bush are yours exclusively to explore during your stay. Positioned a kilometre from the nearest roads, enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the natural bush setting and the abundant bird life and other native wildlife including tawny frogmouth, parrots, owls and honeyeaters - to name a few. Unwind and relax while savouring a picnic near the pond or a barbeque on the deck. Situated on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, with everything at your doorstep - wineries, beaches, spas, tourist attractions.

Beautiful property with a great atmosphere, very easy to find and check in. Good place to disconnect from technology for a bit and explore a bit of history.
The accommodation was immaculate. The bed was so comfortable. We loved our stay. It was so quiet and relaxing. So nice waking up to the peaceful sounds of the birds. The tram was very cool and so fun.
Was great. Beautifully fitted out with loads of character. Very spacious. Just note there is only a microwave and a barbecue for cooking.

A really unique stay in a slice of history. The novelty of staying in a tram was so fun! The surrounding area is idyllic, very quiet and restful. Navigating the 3 gates to get to the property was a little tricky in the wet weather but just a part of country life. Note the accommodation is window heavy with very few blinds, so pack an eye mask! Very clean and comfortable place. Highly recommend!
For a man who drove trams many years ago a fantastic experience. Drove this same tram #72.
Ist class appointments all through the establishment extremely comfortable, peaceful and quiet. Would recommend to all.
Loved our stay here, they had all the traditional things you want for a night away that many places no longer do. Such as a decent size bottle of fresh milk, free little treats left out, plenty of food quality fire wood, the fire place set and ready to light etc Other things to note was it gets very cold, they have a gorgeous fire place and heating but due to the nature of the tram layout, cold air comes in via the external sliding doors. I suggest a draft stop along these areas to solve that. All in all this place was a 10/10 and we will be back
Beautiful bush setting- quality of carriage accom and attached cabin exceeded expectations by far.
Lovely - peaceful - quality appliance/bedding and styling. Felt like a gorgeous hotel but with the serenity and privacy of the bush surroundings. Restoration of the tram into accom was done beautifully! First place was stacked and ready to light - chocolates - coffee and snacks were appreciated! Owners responsive friendly and happy to assist if we needed anything. Would stay again without hesitation :) Thankyou 💜👊🙏

Great place to spend a weekend. Property is clean, quiet and the tram adds something different. Check in was easy and host responsive. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
We had a wonderful time staying in the renovated tram. We were looked after very well by Tara. She had everything ready for our arrival. We would quite easily return for another stay.
An old tram maintained and updated in beautiful style with an adjoining ensuite & lounge/kitchenette . Really special place to stay :-) We enjoyed it very much …. Great base to head out to the wineries
Our main reason to stay was for our 7yo who is obsessed with transportation. We were allowed to bring him which for us was easy since he just shared the bed with us. Very comfy bed! We explored a bit around the property. The stay itself was short for us only overnight. Not a lot of reception which was great. Cosy enough for the 3 of us. Great little fireplace, excellent during the day. It was just a tad bit cold overnight as the split system didn’t really get to the bed area which is in the tram itself. Great place highly recommend!
