    “We LOVED the location and the quiet it provided. The heater works a treat to keep you very warm and cosy inside and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Bikes were provided as was a BBQ and a hammock to laze away the days. Unfortunately, we...”

Welcome to the Bicheno Bus Retreat. This is a special & unique accommodation experience. The bus is situated on a private 8 acre property 4km from the town centre of Bicheno - nestled in between the beautiful Douglas Aspley National Park and the stunning beaches of the Dennison River. The bus is a fully functional, Off Grid, home on wheels. Complete with full kitchen, separate toilet/shower and Tasmania’s comfiest Queen bed. We have a fire pit outside and extra blankets to stay cosy! The bus is located in the bush, so plenty of wallabies to see! Welcome to the Bicheno Bus, here a few tips to living comfortably and safely: POWER = The bus is “off grid” relying on solar, power so we have limited capacity. Please be conscious of your power use remembering to turn off lights when you go to bed etc. You can charge phones/computers (preferably during the day), watch TV, use the internet. But you cannot use high elec items like hair dryers, sorry. GAS/COOKING = The bus is also powered by Gas, for hot water, oven/stove and BBQ outside. You don't have to do anything other than PLEASE turn the gas OFF at the stove after use. If the Gas runs out, please let me know. HEATING = The bus is heated by a diesel heater, sounds smelly but it's not. The controls are near the TV on the wall, the unit is situated under the main lounge. To turn it on, it is a 3 second hold on the power switch, same process to turn off. You can adjust heating once it has fired up. It will heat the bus perfectly, but please DO NOT let it run over night. WATER = Being “off grid” means we are also on limited water, please be conscious of your shower times – keep them small. COMPOSTING TOILET = The Bus has the latest Green Loo GL 90. This is an industry leader in composting, odourless toilets. All you need to do is use the toilet paper + 1 cup of sawdust provided after a "number 2". No water needed. Please close the toilet seat after use and do not put sanitary products in the toilet.
Hello! My name is Bassett and I am a long time resident of Bicheno, Tasmania. I'm passionate about nature, the environment and living consciously. I love sharing the experience of the Bicheno bus. Happy to share with you the secret spots of this beautiful coast line.
We recommend downloading the "Discover Tasmania" Application, a wonderful app to see whats around the area.
