About this property

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.

A perfect getaway

We loved everything about our stay in Evi. It was so quaint and yet fully functional and totally comfortable. It was very convenient to Paihia, Waitangi and Kerikeri, so was an excellent base to do all we wanted and yet felt separate and peaceful away from the busy centres. Thank you Andrea for helping us make great memories on our holiday.

Easy

It was a great and peaceful stay. Very nice hosts. We really liked that we could walk to the river at the back of the property to take the dog for a swim. Close enough to shops and beaches.
