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.
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.
Nice stay at Evi the school bus with all the amenities
I had a wonderful stay at the farm. The bus had all the comfort you need. The area was so peaceful and idyllic. Perfect location if you arrive at kerikeri airport. The host was super friendly. Highly recommend!
Beautiful bed and linen cosy bedroom. Love the colours of the bedding and cushions. Great shower instant hot water great shower head. Everything i needed they had in the bus. Spotlessly clean the whole bus. Quiet and peaceful just what i wanted and needed. Lovely being able to have my dog with me. Bruno popped in every morning. Great friendly hosts. Thanku.
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!
Absolutely love this place it was super cute Andrea and her husband were so lovely and sweet! My group adored Bruno there dog along with seeing all the other farm animals. Will definitely be back!
The farm is awesome, our 8 year old granddaughter Isla became the â farm girlâ 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
What a delight to spend 2 nights in Evi the school bus. Great location (only 10 minutes drive from KeriKeri), peaceful surroundings, friendly hosts. We really enjoyed the experience. Thank you.
Thank you so much for being lovely hosts. We really enjoyed our stay in evi, surrounded by beautiful scenery and sheep. Stunning sunsets and clear stary skies at night, plus close to great areas to explore.
Would highly recommend!
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.
We arrived late due to airline delays. The host greeted us on arrival.
It was bitterly cold and we were looking forward to a hot shower to warm us up, bbut the shower kept going from too hot to too cold. It was not nice at all
We got into bed but still shivered all night.
In the morning I informed the host that we couldn't do that any mo,as we are both in our 70s.
We were told that we could have asked for a heater to be brought in, but it was already after 10PM when we got into bed.

Great place to stay if you appreciate some peace and quite in a lovely farm setting close to both kerikeri and Pihia. Friendly hosts and funky accommodation.
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.
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.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in
Evi. Lovely location and friendly hosts who went out of their way to make sure our stay was a great experience. The wee Christmas tree and decorations were a lovely touch as was the chocolates left for us on arrival.
Lovely farm just outside of Kerikeri- it was so cozy and fun staying on this beautiful little farm. Andrea was welcoming and made sure were well taken care of.
Evi was just perfect for our overnight stay - close to the event venue that we were competing at. The hosts were really lovely and Bruno the dog was a real sweetheart. Lovely views across the farm and everything we needed for our stay. Thanks - this stay will be a special memory for a long time.
Lovely little place ! We loved the outdoor space. This bus has all the bare minimum essentials so amazing for a short holiday ! The owners were extremely lovely and very chatty ! All in all had a great two night stay and would rebook !
