Our cozy glamping school bus offers a truly unique stay, set among the forest with a spectacular ocean view. This converted “schoolie” combines comfort and creativity with a peaceful natural setting.
Inside, bamboo flooring and warm wood accents create a welcoming space. The bus features a very comfortable queen-sized mattress with ample storage underneath. A cozy loveseat faces the ocean view and can accommodate a young child for sleeping if needed.
A movable desk positioned toward the view provides a comfortable workspace with reliable internet via Starlink, making it a great spot for reading, working remotely, or simply enjoying the scenery. Please note that the interior ceiling height is 5’10”.
The fully equipped kitchen includes two convection hot plates, a toaster oven, a Magic Bullet blender, and a small fridge with a freezer, along with the essentials needed for preparing simple meals.
For comfort in all seasons, the bus includes a wood stove as well as an electric oil-filled heater for colder weather.
The bathroom area features a sit-down shower with a private window and a Nature’s Head composting toilet with a peaceful forest view. 
Guests are welcome to explore the surrounding property, including our orchard area, ponds, loop trail through the woods, organic gardens, and our hens and rabbits.
The bus sits on a beautiful semi-rural property halfway between Sechelt and Madeira Park, both about 20 minutes away by car. Perched on a mountainside, the setting offers expansive views of the ocean, nearby islands, and Vancouver Island.
The property is within walking distance of trailheads, including Homesite Creek with its beautiful waterfalls.
Public transportation reaches the Sunshine Coast via BC Ferries and a bus from Langdale (Gibsons) to Sechelt. From there, a car, motorcycle, or bicycle is needed to reach the property, which is located 2.3 km off the highway up a winding road. If you do not have a vehicle, ride-share service “Coastal Rides” and local taxis are available on the Sunshine Coast.
For essentials, the Halfmoon Bay General Store is about five minutes away by car and offers groceries, a small liquor store, and a café overlooking Halfmoon Bay.
Our friendly dog roams freely around our home area on the property. She is gentle but typically stays near the house and will not approach the bus plateau unless called or approached.
We enjoy meeting our guests but also fully respect your privacy if you prefer a quieter stay.
This accommodation is for non-smokers only.

Converted Bus with Woodstove on 10 Acre Property

My son, dog and I visited Karen and Kitos converted bus. It had everything we needed, a comfortable bed, couch, full kitchen, washroom and shower and was very clean, cozy and beautiful. The site was relaxing, quiet and enjoyable and close to beaches for the daytime. It can get a little warm in the bus, but we visited mid summer. We could open windows and there were screens to keep bugs out :) the site came equipped with a private gas bbq and patio table and chairs so we didn’t have to pack much in with us. Thank you for hosting! We had an amazing time.

We had an Amazing Time

We had a lovely stay in the school bus over a weekend! We were lucky enough to see a beautiful full moon rise over the ocean from our little patio area. The kitchen, bbq, everything worked great. Great little farm and hosts. We will definitely visit again!

Lovely Stay in the School Bus

Really cool experience for our kids. This bus is so spacious and cozy. It absolutely poured rain the first day of our visit and the kids were so excited to play in the bus it didn’t matter.

A Kid's Dream

We loved staying on the school bus!! It was clean and spacious and we had our own private space with a BBQ and fire pit. There was also a lovely hammock nearby! The hosts were so kind and helpful to us, and the farm was beautiful. We were able to see the rabbits and chickens, visit a local farmers’ market, and see lots of nearby nature!

Cozy and Fun

really enjoyed my 7 night stay in the converted school, it exceeded my expectations. It had everything I needed and was warm, cozy and comfortable. To top off my amazing experience I got to see the Northern Lights on my last night!
