Enjoy the sounds of nature when you stay in this unique place. Evi started her days as a school bus in 1963 but now she is a one bedroom house bus on a lovely lifestyle block in the beautiful Bay of Islands. Be in the heart of the countryside with 25 acres to roam, sheep, pigs, and ducks to watch, lots of birdlife, and a river to enjoy and take a dip. Then drive just 10 mins to Kerikeri or 14 mins to Paihia to explore the sights, shops, cafes and restaurants.

    Great little getaway on a secluded farm close to Paihia. The bus was cosy, neat and tidy and our hosts were very helpful!

    Andrea and John provided us with a very unique experience of staying at their farm in a comfortable, clean and very functional accommodation. We enjoyed the quiet evenings, clear night sky, and host's hospitality.

    What a gorgeous spot. We loved the location and spent days exploring kerikeri, paihia, kororareka and surrounds. The highlight was the farm though. The sheep, ducks and cattle are the first thing you see in the morning and Bruno the dog is a delight. We loved meeting Andrea and John. They've built a little slice of paradise. We were warm comfortable and had everything we needed.

    Andrea and John were wonderful hosts, friendly, and kind. We felt very welcome in their corner of Paradise. Evi had both comfort and character, and the setting was beautiful, quiet and private, while being close to all the Bay of Islands has to offer. The kids loved the river and Bruno the friendly sheep dog.Thanks so much!

    The farm is awesome, our 8 year old granddaughter Isla became the “ farm girl” for the week and helping Andrea and John feed the pigs, sheep and ducks was the absolute highlight for her. Andrea and John were so patient with her. The environment is so quiet and the bus is centrally located to Paihia and Kerikeri
