We had a wonderful time at The Bus Stop. Lisa and Tony are fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. We loved the peaceful setting and the lovely horses. It is a perfect place to relax and reset. The bed is really comfy too. We will definitely be visiting again! We are very happy to recommend this special place.

From the outside it looks like a bus, but step inside and it opens into a perfectly formed, cosy and intimate tiny home for two. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully set up, it has absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay.The sofa and bed are genuinely comfy, and the little touches really stand out — even a dishwasher and a soundbar, which was a lovely surprise.The deck is a highlight: fire up the barbecue or simply sit back and take in the view while listening to the tūī, kingfishers and bellbirds. Peaceful, private, and incredibly relaxing.A unique and memorable stay — we’d happily come back.
