About this property

The Bush Bus Nature’s Hideaway Whangarei, Maungatapere

  • Reconnect with nature in a unique Bush Bus retreat, where farm life, native bush, and comfort meet.

    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.
