"This visit was a birthday treat with high tea booked in the vintage train parlour car. We arrived early to look around the station while we waited for the train. The classic weatherboard station looks well preserved. The covered waiting area was full of people, some in vintage dress and really setting the scene. The train arrived and after the previous passengers were disembarked and the carriages were quickly cleaned, we boarded and were off. It's a short ride to Waiuku station through lovely countryside. The smell of the smoke from the engine fire was really nostalgic. The high tea was nice with croissant sandwiches, salmon and prawn on crackers and various cakes and sweet treats with a choice of tea or coffee. The journey back was interrupted by a stop for water where you could also disembark and see the workshop if desired. About 45 minutes on the train all up. Nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon."
"Great little outing! Train trip took around an hour with a couple of stop options. Nice little gift shop and some food/ drinks available although not an option for me with food allergies! But we took a picnic lunch along and ate there anyway. Kids would love the experience."
"A lovely place for family. Some events suitable for kids will be held here. You can try 1900’s old train here. Booking is recommend. Come earlier for car park"
"Very lovely set up with lights, craft stalls, yummy snacks/ coffee stalls and of course, the lovely train ride! Missed out on the big guy Santa as it was raining hard the day we visited but overall, everyone had a good time. A place to take whole family."
