Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Stayed two nights and really wasn't sure what to expect. Booking and secure entry went smoothly. Wonderful place to stay and just relax. Wonderfully restored, which is a credit to the volunteers. If you are a railway buff, this is heaven. Provisions left for breakfast which was more than ample and quite a variety of options. Clean, comfortable but definitely needed the heating at night. Will certainly have a return visit.

This has always been a lovely building but now it looks even better. What a wonderful restoration job by everyone involved. I cannot wait to see it finished, hopefully with the canopy replaced. Just lovely.

Enjoyed our visit and whilst there realised that you could stay in the accommodation which would be different. Great area for photos especially at sunset.

Great to see this piece of local history has been saved for future generations. There is a lot of railway infrastructure here the could do with some tender loving care.

You really need to see this place if you've not been to Burra for a few years. The railway station has been lovingly restored and even has a sweet B and B now where you can stay. We spent two nights there and LOVED it! You can book accommodation through the Burra Tourist Information Centre.

The Railway Station has been lovingly restored to its former glory. I have seen photographs of the station taken in 2009 showing it in a completely dilapidated state. The volunteers who have worked on this project have truly done a magnificent job in renovating the station. The function room and display space is open daily from 11.00am until 1.00pm.

What was the cost of a child's ticket.from Burra railway station to Semaphore Beach?
Written 4 August 2019
No train from Burra to Semaphore Beach. A little train that just runs along Semaphore Beach, which is a suburb of Adelaide the capital city of South Australia.
Then Burra Station is just that no train rides, which is a country town in South Australia about 2 hours from Adelaide. Hope that helps you.
