Enchanting waterside stay in a truly unspoilt place...

Great couple greeted us , let us know we coud arrive early and they had a lot of pride in the Bus. Fantastic place to stay and plenty of space - bigger than some hotel rooms I've stayed at!

Best bus! Best hosts! Best VRBO! In addition to its uniqueness, Simon and Claire have done a spectacular job of outfitting and decorating Best Bus. It had everything we needed, very well configured and organized, for our five day stay. A VRBO.

We had a great 2 night stay. We brought our 1yo as she sleeps km bed with us and the hosts had set up some toys and a highchair especially for her. The whole place is super well thought out and you can tell they really care about making jt a great experience for their guests, down to all the little details! The frwahlt squeezed orange juice was superb, comfy bed and couch, great spot to get away and relax. We cooked meat on the bbq both of our nights. We had a great time. Definitely recommend! Thank you so much!

What an incredible haven Clare and Simon have lovingly created from this charming old bus. So much attention to detail makes it spacious, practical and enchanting. We absolutely fell in love with it, as did family who visited. Magical sunsets from the deck, great couch for snuggling in with a book, and a joy to cook and barbecue - we never ate out! Highly recommended.

Beautiful spot & lovely accommodation which Clare & Simon have thoughtfully kitted out. From a cracking BBQ to phone chargers and cozy spots to curl up with a book or soak in the fabulous scenery. It is magical & close the bike trail. book or soaksoak in the

We had a two night stay in this simply marvelous bus. It was so much fun! The bus is in the host’s backyard but completely private. The bus has a wonderful kitchenette, eating space, lounge space and bedroom with an attached hallway that led to the spacious bathroom and the washer and dryer. This was a convenient location for our day trip to the Abel Tasman National Park. The hosts are gracious, communicate well, and provided a lovely continental breakfast for us on the bus. It was fun to have this space on this island.

Simon and Clare were so very lovely. Highly recommend

The Best Island Bus was one of the highlights of our NZ Adventure! Totally unique experience in a tranquil location - ALL the creature comforts for home away from home with awesome hosts - a memory & story that will last a lifetime! Don't hesitate - when you need a lift...take the BUS! ?

The Best Bus will not disappointment any new visitor. The lovely property owners Clare and Simon very welcoming, but also give your personal space. The bus is incredibly well equipped with all the amenities required to have a relaxing, chilled break away. The refurbishment of the bus has been done to a very high standard, and the interior has an organic chilled feel. Without a doubt we'll be back some time in the future. Thanks again :)

Great design and the Bus has been magically transformed into a fantastic place to stay in an idyllic location. Best Island is well positioned for you to access Abel Tasman and the local vineyards. Spacious well equipped layout, very clean and tidy with lovely views over the estuary - at high tide, take a trip in the Kayaks provided. Has a nice outdoor area for you to BBQ and relax. Our hosts were wonderful and welcoming and made our stay very special. We will be forever grateful.
