Little Vine Caboose at Zig Zag Winery
Snug up in a beautifully converted train caboose overlooking the Zig Zag Winery vineyard and the undulating ‘Belltoper' forest beyond, located outside the lovely village of Malmsbury in the Macedon Ranges on Dja Dja Wurrung Country. Little Vine House can be booked alongside Big Vine House, also located on the Zig Zag Rd. Winery property or independently. Proudly managed by Flophouse Accommodation.
Originally a 1950’s Melbourne ‘red rattler’ guardsman’s carriage, this self-contained, renovated caboose sleeps up to two people and is the perfect escape for a romantic sojourn, nature hit, or solo writer’s retreat. Whatever your reason for visiting, the carriage offers magical views and the opportunity to savour a regenerative, working vineyard and winery whilst you and restore and reset.
Flophouse can help you tailor your own DIY retreat whether it be writing, wine tasting or staying in with local catering. All guests are welcomed with a complimentary bottle of Zig Zag wine from the cellar door and complimentary breakfast provisions, so you can cosy up and enjoy all that this picturesque vineyard in the Macedon Ranges has to offer.
Rest assured in the caboose with a fully equipped kitchenette, an ensuite bathroom with a shower, and a deluxe queen bed with SA Minijumbuk wool doonas and beautiful linen sheets. We encourage you to bring your own slippers so that you can enjoy a morning coffee on the undercover deck.
With panoramic views outside and a cosy interior, Little Vine is the perfect place to experience JOMO and journaling. Wi-fi is still a work in progress due to the thickness of the train's steel walls! There's generally good phone service though, particularly for Telstra.
We are a 5-minute drive from the quaint village of Malmsbury (where there's a bakery, a general store and a few lovely little shops), and only 15 minutes from Kyneton. Or head to Daylesford or Trentham or a host of other incredible places to explore in the other direction.
Guests have exclusive access to the entire caboose and deck but the rest of the property is a working vineyard and may be shared by others, including Zig Zag winery workers and Flophouse guests who may be staying at the main house. Please note, that the caboose is near the cellar door that is open Friday to Monday 12 - 5 pm and approximately 20 metres from the main house.
The Flophouse team are available if you need any assistance during your stay but otherwise, we respect your privacy.
Zig Zag Winery is located in Dja Dja Wurrung Country and is situated close to Malmsbury, Kyneton, Trentham, Castlemaine and Daylesford so the perfect launching pad to explore the central Victorian goldfields and spa country.
The winery is close to Malmsbury Train Station (five minutes by car) and we can arrange for drivers to pick up guests on request. There are ride-share services available but otherwise, a car is required to explore the area.
The property is not suitable for bringing young children due to the small size of the caboose and the presence of dams and machinery. Dogs may only be brought by prior arrangement and after approval via the Flophouse team.
