Cool Cozy Coach Retreat In Secluded Bush Hideaway

Pet-friendly
Coach Murri is a four berth converted school bus with a dash of vintage style. Nestled in the Valley of a Thousand Hills in Taungurung country, this peaceful retreat is perfect if you are looking for seclusion in the wilderness and want to wake up to the sound of birds and surrounded by trees. Located on a 55 acre treed property you'll have an entire camping ridge to yourself. Enjoy the stars as you warm your toes by the outdoor fire pit.
With a queen bed and two bunks, this is perfect for a couple or family of 4 looking for a quirky private escape into the wilderness but enjoy more luxuries than just a tent has to offer.
Coach Murri D comes fitted with a bathroom and furnished kitchen, games and more!

Sorry, due to the bus's metal roof internet reception inside the bus is poor but what better way to unplug from the world?! Optus and Telstra reception on the site though is not a problem!

We live on the property but with over 100m of bush you won't even notice we're there!

Such a beautiful spot,with lots of nature walks and hikes. The Coach was a delight. Everything you need included. Getting to feed the Alpacas was a highlight for my daughter. Melissa is such great host and very responsive. Highly recommended this little gem.

We absolutely loved this place. Beautiful, quiet and comfortable. The bus was nicely fitted out with comfortable beds, enough cutlery etc for a family of four and the ridge was stunning. Little area h...eaters helped with the cold of the evening and open windows were perfect during the day when it was warm and sunny. Mel was super helpful with queries about the area and lovely to communicate with. Will be back and highly recommend!

We had the best stay! Melissa accomodated us last minute, we were so comfortable and warm. The towels, linen, and mattress are absolute luxury. Hot shower. Private and beautiful setting. We saw five kangaroos out of the bus window. Just lovely and great for kids and pets too. Thank you again!

Kinglake National Park

Most of Kinglake National Park is covered in eucalypt forest. If you look closely you will see many of the trees showing a green new growth along their trunks following the fire. Grass trees now have tall flowering spikes and tree ferns are bright with new growth. Slowly other species will regerminate including wattles, bush peas, heath, tussock grass and orchids.
