About this property
Burra Railway Station BnB
This is a great accommodation for romantics of all sorts, be that lovers or rail buffs. Both are catered for here. The historic Burra Railway Station (built in 1883) served the heritage copper mining town for well over 100 years. The whole building has been faithfully restored to its former glory. When you stay at Burra Railway Station BnB you are contributing to the legacy of this historical station as all profits go directly to the Friends of Burra Railway Station Association to ensure this piece of Australian history can be continued for years to come.
Your accommodation provides surprising luxury in an historic setting. Sleep in what was once the Porter’s Room in a comfortable queen size bed with beautiful linen and electric blanket.
You have a en-suite bathroom plus kitchen where provisions are left for you to self prepare Continental breakfasts.
The large lounge room has a log fire and lots of books on railways and history. Curl up and forget the world in this very private and peaceful retreat.
The Porter's Room is a spacious self contained suite at one end of the historic Burra Railway Station. It has a Queen bedroom with ensuite shower bathroom, a well equipped kitchen where generous provisions are left for you to self prepare your Continental breakfasts. There is a small dining area. The spacious lounge has a log fire for Winter comfort. The Porters Room is air conditioned all year round.
There is a utility room with laundry facilities and where the BBQ is kept. Please take the BBQ outside if you would like to use it.
You will have access to the entire place.
Burra Railway Station is operated by volunteers. There is no on-site reception staff. A SMS will be sent on the morning of check in with the key access code. For last minute (same day) bookings, a MINIMUM of three hours notice is required to ensure a volunteer can set up the BnB so that it is perfect for you on arrival. Check-in will be available by prior arrangement from 2 pm. Check-out is by 10.00 am.
We don't live on site, but are a message and a phone call away.
