Trailways Accommodation Railton
Self-contained modern accommodation in Railton, Tasmania with mountain bike lockup
ABOUT
Trailways Accommodation is a recently built two bedroom, self contained home with modern conveniences and a spacious outdoor entertaining area.
​
Just 20 mins from the Spirit of Tasmania Terminal and the Devonport Airport, Railton is the gateway to the Wild Mersey Mountain Bike Trails, Cradle Mountain National Park, Mount Roland Conservation Area and Lake Barrington International Rowing Course.
​
Only 8 mins from historic Sheffield and an easy 10 minutes from Latrobe. Railton is the hub for the Wild Mersey Mountain Bike trails.
After a day of mountain biking from the doorstep or exploring the nearby hiking trails you can relax on the deck with a local beer or wine, engage in some outdoor games provided on the private back lawn while warming up around the firepit with a beer. Pay a visit to the resident platypus in Redwater creek at the rear of the property and help yourself to the fruit from the orchard and raspberry patch when in season.
Situated next to the train line, train enthusiasts and young children will love watching the long freight trains pass by slowly, the friendly train drivers will usually smile and wave back too. Occasionally a train will pass during the night and we have provided ear plugs for the lighter sleepers. Alternatively there is a pub next door to help numb the senses.​​​​​​
