Stay In A Train - Ruwenzori Retreat - luxury train

Ruwenzori (pron Roo-wen-zor-ee) is a secluded, bush retreat near the food and wine-lover's paradise of Mudgee, in Central West NSW. Perched high on the Great Dividing Range, Ruwenzori boasts sweeping views and offers absolute peace and privacy. Living and sleeping in Orient Express style converted railway carriages, guests are provided with self-contained accommodation suiting couples, families and groups. And as the retreat is single-hire, you won't be sharing with anyone else. Ruwenzori Retreat is the life work and passion of Scott McGregor. This themed bush retreat is built from vintage railway carriages and eclectic memorabilia, and sleeps 13 across a variety of beautifully restored historic coaches. An ideal getaway for friends and family, Ruwenzori is a truly unique place to stay. Spend your days exploring the bush trails where granite boulders rise high above a wide variety of flora and an abundance of wildlife, or just relax reading a book in the hammock or sipping wine on the veranda, gazing out at this truly magical place.
