1 Bedroom Bed & Breakfast in Richmond

The Best Island Bus offers unique accommodation on the shores of the Waimea Inlet. There is a queen bed that gets wonderful morning sun and has views to the garden. We have included a designated luggage and storage area for your cases. The kitchen is compact with a double sink, a ceramic hob, a fridge and microwave/grill. We have sourced a retro table and comfortable dining chairs. Best of all, a generous sofa that looks out over the estuary, where you can stretch out with a book and glance at the herons and kingfishers.
We provide a continental breakfast during your stay.
A corridor links the bus with the bathroom and laundry. The bathroom is calm and roomy; the laundry is at the end of the corridor and screened from view by bi-fold doors. The corridor has a large window at one end that looks out onto a leafy garden.
USB portals are near the table and in the bedroom.
We have chosen not to have a television but provide an i pad with an assortment of films and documentaries. The i pad will have local information on what to do and where to eat out. Several games and books are scattered throughout the bus for you to enjoy.
There is a large deck outside the bus, with tables and chairs for breakfast al fresco and a variety of cushions for lazy afternoons. The deck gets good morning sun and dappled shade in the afternoons. There is a BBQ alongside the deck. In front of the deck is a large lawn for your use, well planted and screened from the lane. There’s a hammock too for that afternoon snooze.
Hopping in a kayak at the end of the garden couldn’t be easier; we often paddle past rays on the outgoing tide. Biking “The Great Taste Trail” to Rabbit Island is a stunning trip past orchards, rivers and pine forests, probably about 45mins one way. Rabbit Island is an expansive, wild beach, great for walking and safe for swimming; you can easily find a remote spot amongst the driftwood.

Summary: 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.
