It's been a labour of love for owners Rob Allen and Janelle Harrington, who chose steampunk decor for the theme as an historical reference to the town's glory days of rail.
The hotel reopened just before Christmas, but its grand opening is scheduled for January, which will also mark the hotel's 150th year.
This was gifted by my great aunt to our daughter. It has been in storage for twenty years. Our daughter doesn’t want it. Some superficial marks on top. Broken knob and replacement knob as per photos. Also discovered when moving it a loose leg. No evidence of bora.

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.
This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.
While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region
So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.
