We have stayed in over 100 airnb's over the years as a touring band, and Tara & Guillaume's Love Bus was the most beautiful and memorable place of all, by far. It is nestled on one-hundred acres of rolling green hills and pine forest, off of a lovely winding dirt road 20 minutes outside of a lovely little surfing town called Raglan. The bus sits in a grassy saddle, and from the wrap around wooden deck (and the outdoor bathtub) there is a stunning view of the Pacific ocean. A cool creek wraps around the bus, beside which sits a sturdy fire pit in a gravel yard, and a lovely flower garden. Tara & Guillaume recently completely renovated the bus, which was finished right before we moved in for our ten day stay, and the new layout and design was perfect: It is very open, modern, and clean, but with a cabin-like coziness and sweetness. It is completely off the grid, with solar powered lights and power outlet, and a gravity fed water pump pulling crystal water from the creek for the kitchen sink and shower. There were numerous lights throughout the bus, all with independent switches for customization. The Kitchen was very spacious and well stocked with utensils and cookware, with a new two burner stove and lots of counter space. The shower was hot, and the bathroom was very well lit naturally and spaciously designed for being in a bus. The bed was luxurious, with a nice throw and pillows, surrounded by windows, looking out over the ocean and hills. You can hear the creek softly from the bed which was very relaxing. There is a nice padded seating area inside the bus with pillows and a table, and a big sliding window that opens up the whole living room area to the porch. The porch was my favorite element, and where I spent most of my time. There are two nice wooden chairs, the view is incredible, and of course an outdoor bathtub! There was a family of birds in the yard feeding their young and singing throughout our stay. The wifi works the best on the porch, which ended up being nice because it encouraged us to watch films under the stars in the evening. Tara & Guillaume we're both gracious hosts who live a short walk from the bus, (though the bus has complete privacy) and were available at any time to help with extra towels, toilet paper, etc. We filled up our jugs with filtered spring water at their house, and often saw them at the markets in Raglan and exchanged good conversation, which quickly felt like a community. They both keyed us in to some local secrets, including lesser known beaches and hies. ' Raglan is charming surfing town, with two organic co-op markets, an amazing fish market on the wharf that makes fish and chips with the freshest daily catches, incredible surfing beaches, and numerous hikes in the surrounding hills.
