Last StopAmbledown Brook

Twenty minutes out of Canberra at Wallaroo, Last Stop Ambledown Brook puts guests up in four restored railway carriages and an old tram, each done out as its own quarters. The owners have run it for more than thirty years, with a cooked breakfast in the morning and a spring-fed brook, pool, tennis court and bushwalks across the property. Kangaroos, echidnas and wombats turn up on the grass, the Brindabellas sit on the horizon, and four cool-climate wineries are within reach.
