The Bus Stop - Waimarama

The Bus Stop - Waimarama


Sometimes it's those crazy little touches which help promote a place to stay from regular to memorable. The Bus Stop at Waimarama is a conventional apartment, - nice enough. Comfortable, Close to a glorious beach, with a small private sun filled courtyard at the back. But it is the large blue bus (also part of your accommodation package) which makes the Bus Stop more than just your standard overnight stopover.

The Blue Bus is well and truly parked up - probably at least for the foreseeable future, in the front garden of this Waimarama property. The bus is large, comfortable and agreeable. It is essentially your quirky second sitting room and kitchen. It is beachy, casual, relaxed, and a great hang out space. It is unpretentious, full of a crazy mismatch of furniture and easy to kick back in, The bus is a great place to be. The Big Blue Bus is surrounded by shrubs, trees and colorful flowering plants. Who would have thought a large blue bus could blend in so well?


There is another interesting feature about the Bus Stop at Waimarama, and that is the ducks. In every unexpected corner of the bus, the apartment, and the garden, you will find ducks. These ducks are not live. They are sometimes stuffed, sometimes painted, always inanimate. They are a multitude of colors and sizes, and if you were of a single digit age, counting ducks could certainly be an agreeable pastime.



Waimarama is a long sandy attractive beach  on a popular area of holiday coast. It is a sought after holiday destination and  a favoured spot for sea fishing and boat launching. You will enjoy your stay in this appealing little spot, -  especially the delicious welcoming snacks provided by your hosts.
