About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Luxury Beach Bus

Just over the dunes from the beach you'll find this unique accommodation. A city bus in it's former life, it has been meticulously renovated to create a fun and luxurious space for you to rest and relax. Free Wifi, heat and aircon, a fully plumbed toilet and full size shower, luxury linens, smart t.v. and a kitchenette - all located in a quiet neighbourhood by the beach. We're just down the road from conveniences and a cafe and only 10 minutes from Whanganui City Centre. Free parking. Please note the access is down a flight of stairs from the parking space.

The sound of the waves in constant and relaxing. From the top of the stairs you have a magical view of the sunset. At night the milky way is just above for your stargazing pleasure. Our black sand beach with a view of Taranaki is just a 5 minute walk over the dunes. This location is so special. Close enough to town if you're here for work, but a quiet oasis of seaside nature to return to at the end of the day. If you're here for a holiday it's magic, year round! Bundle up for a wintery walk on the quiet beach or put your togs on and enjoy a dip in finer weather.

Whanganui is not typically on the tourist route, but there are so many things to see and do here. I've compiled a list in your guest book inside the bus.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchenette with a refrigerator and a microwave. There's a private patio. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as bike parking.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.
