off the grid train in Laguna - one for the bucket list

Updated: May 29, 2018

We were looking for a unique experience in the bush not too far from Sydney and came across this Sydney train on Little Valley Farm back in 2017. It's been on our bucket list for months and we finally got to stay this weekend. We were not disappointed...


The owners, Daniela and Euan, are a lovely couple and showed us around the farm to meet the alpacas, guinea fowl, chickens and mini cows. We saw wombats and a few kangaroos. The kangaroos were happy to hang around for most of the day, lazing on the hills of the property as if they lived there too.

The train is so much fun to stay in. At one end is the bedroom with the most comfortable bed. The other end has the kitchen, which has an old school sink and gas camp stove because it's completely off grid. There's a pizza oven just outside the kitchen where you can cook your own pizzas or make a loaf of bread. In the middle is the cozy dining and lounge room where Stuart and I relaxed after dark by the gas heater.


The bathroom is huge, complete with a hot rain shower, vanity and waterless-composting toilet which was better than some of the hotels that we've stayed in! If you prefer a bath, there's one outside on the back deck.


What we loved most was the quiet. It was peaceful, serene and super relaxing. Waking with the sunrise to the sounds of the birds and the breeze rejuvenates your mind and body. Sitting on the back deck with a cup of tea watching the animals enjoy their morning is the way we will wake up every morning one day.


Until then, we stay at amazing places like Little Valley Farm to unplug, recharge and reconnect with nature. We will be back for another #barefootbreak soon!
