  • What’s the difference between Betsy (the blue bus) and Charles (the white bus)?
    BETSY is bold and vibrant, featuring a retro-style lounge, Grizzly wood fire, and a spacious deck. CHARLES is intimate and cosy, with a tucked-away bedroom, vintage charm, and a secluded outdoor bath.
  • Is Wi-Fi available?
    No, we encourage guests to unplug and enjoy a digital detox. However, mobile reception is available (from most providers) for those who need to stay connected. Please note that coverage from Optus is not good in the area.
  • Do the buses have air conditioning or heating?
    Both buses are designed for year-round comfort. Betsy and Charles each feature a wood fire to keep things warm and cosy during winter, along with air conditioning for summer. However, since both buses are solar-powered, it’s important that the air conditioning is only used while inside the bus to help conserve energy reserves.
  • Is there a kitchen in the buses?
    Yes, each bus has a kitchenette with essential cooking facilities, including a small fridge, kettle, stovetop and equipment.
  • Are meals provided?
    We don’t provide meals, but the Ferguson Valley is home to amazing wineries, cafés, and local produce markets just a short drive away. That said, there are no supermarkets nearby—so we recommend stocking up on food before you arrive. You’ll have everything you need to cook in your bus or on the outdoor BBQ. Also, be sure to check the opening hours of local spots in advance, as some places may close earlier than expected due to the rural location.
  • What can I do during my stay?
