The Old School Bus

A tiny‑home conversion on a rural Bilpin property, The Old School Bus is a one‑bedroom stay for two with basic kitchen facilities and an outdoor fire pit. The host lists eco features such as rainwater collection and solar power.

Set on Mount Tootie Road with views toward Wollemi National Park and Mount Irvine, it’s a quiet base about a 3‑minute drive to Bilpin village and roughly 10 minutes from parts of Blue Mountains National Park.

A compact self‑contained tiny home converted from a school bus. The interior has two single beds, a small kitchen (fridge, microwave, plug‑in hotplates, coffee machine), a shower with hip bath, reverse‑cycle air‑conditioning and a smart TV. Outdoor space includes a terrace, BBQ, fire pit and garden seating with mountain views.

Look out for:

• Mountain views across Wollemi National Park and Mount Irvine on clear days.

• Eco features listed by the host: rainwater collection, onsite septic and solar power/hot water.

• Limited indoor space — designed for couples or two travellers only.

• Host is an Airbnb Superhost and listing rules limit the stay to registered guests.

Best way to experience it:

Drive to the property (free on‑site parking) and use the bus as a quiet overnight base while exploring Bilpin’s orchards, the Grumpy Baker café in town, and nearby walking routes in the Blue Mountains. Bring groceries and firewood if you plan to use the BBQ or fire pit; the kitchen is compact so plan simple meals.

• Check‑in window typically from 3:00 pm and check‑out by 11:00 am (listing shows these times).
