The train sleeps 24 guests in total. The coach is also equipped with a bar, kitchen dining car and a dancing floor space. 

A ride on the Stimela star is a grand adventure that begins the moment passengers arrive at the embarkment station and receive a warm welcome.

After dinner Guests are ushered to the lounge where they are entertained; they can also mingle, chat over coffee or some stronger night cap. 

When guests call it a night the uniqueness of this journey becomes apparent as the sleeper train chugs away in the night guests rest in their compartments; guests oft find the movement of the train is soothing.
