Step into a one-of-a-kind getaway, set on a peaceful farm surrounded by native bush and birdsong. The Bush Bus is a creatively converted studio with a cosy full bed, a fully equipped kitchen, and a welcoming dining and lounge space. Stay comfortable year-round with heating, and enjoy a hot shower after a day exploring the nearby Kiwi House, local bush walks, or the short 10 km trip into town. In summer, you’re welcome to enjoy the farm’s lake and kayak — we only ask that if you open any gates, you close them behind you. There’s no Wi-Fi here – just great cellphone coverage and the chance to truly unplug. Your friendly hosts are nearby if you need anything, and happy to share local tips and hidden gems. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Hob - Oven ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Property does not allow children ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 11:00 AM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
