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.
Make yourself comfortable in your air-conditioned apartment. The bathroom has a shower.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.
