Vibe of the property along with its location is perfect. I wanted time to rejuvenate by spending some time in solitude, away from city life, and this place is exactly what I wanted.

Great spot, private and peaceful. Good option for someone looking for something off grid and outside the norm. The bus has pretty much everything you need and nothing you don’t (ie wifi tv etc) It’s a great spot to disconnect and unwind.

Welcome to the Bus! With nothing but forest in sight, the bus is nestled on a large private property in the village of Coffee Camp - west of Byron Bay, just outside of Nimbin. The bus offers a secluded and memorable stay, perfect for anyone looking for relaxing getaway, surrounded only by trees and the sounds of nature. With a very comfortable queen bed, as well as fold out couch, the bus is ideal for a pair or small family looking for a hidden retreat. The kitchen is kitted out with all the amenities, including cookware, gas stovetop, sink, fridge and outdoor barbecue The separate timber bath house lies just behind the bus, with a composting toilet, hot shower, and a luxurious bathtub with a view to the tranquil natural beauty outside. The large deck is perfect for catching the morning sun, sipping an afternoon beverage, or enjoying the stars as you warm your toes by the stone fire pit. This 1978 bus has been lovingly restored with almost entirely recycled materials, all sourced locally to ensure minimal impact on the environment. The electricity runs 100% off solar and all water is caught on site. No WiFi is provided (but what better way to escape?) although Telstra 4G reception is available. All linen, blankets and towels are supplied. The property can be found via Maps, but specific directions will be messaged once booked. This property is situated on Widjabul Wiabal country of the Bundjalung Nation. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
Inspired by the book Cabin Porn, I set out in 2020 to build my own quiet escape in nature. After months of searching for the right vessel, I found a run down, rusting bus, sitting in a paddock a few hills behind my parents property. Instead of letting the once great creature to wither and decay, I bought it, with the hope of turning it into something great. Nearly two years of work later, with plenty of help from my incredibly handy parents, our vision has come into fruition.
The Northern Rivers offers many activities and destinations right on your doorstep. Whether it's a day spent strolling through the quirky town of Nimbin (10 minute drive), or perusing stalls at the iconic Channon market (15 minute drive). Enjoy local hikes at neighbouring Border Ranges or Nightcap National Park, and have a dip at Whian Whian falls (25 minutes). Just an hour’s drive away gets you to the renowned Byron Bay beaches, offering some of the area’s best food, surf and night life. Or alternatively, spend the day lounging in some of the many nooks in or outside the bus, reading books, playing board games or spotting wildlife.
