A school bus living in nature
Meet Patsy
About Patsy
Enjoy a stay in a 1973 converted school bus that has all the comforts of home and touches of luxury.
Self-contained accommodation for two in the bushveld with magnificent views and the sounds of nature.
All of this is situated in agricultural lands, 15 minutes away from the centre of Nelspruit.
The hosts have 4 large dogs that are well socialised and enjoy meeting new people.
The property is a self-sustaining homestead where the hosts grow their own vegetables, farm honey and produce eggs.
The Space
Outside is an extensive paved area, including the bus stop, which is a private, conservatory type area for guests to enjoy an all weather outside experience. In addition, this area has a braai/fire area and seating for you to enjoy the tranquil garden and a view of one of the grey water ponds. The bird life is abundant so remember to bring your binoculars to look out for some of the birds on the Kokiville bird list, we have spotted over 165 species.
Guest Access
Guests will have access to the 3.5 hectare farm to take a relaxing walk along the Snail Trail which is a marked out half a kilometer walk in nature. Free parking is readily available.
Other things to note
We are completely off the grid and making use of our amazing sun for electricity so not all high-demand appliances work well. We do have a generator should you wish to make use of these appliances. Drinking and tap water is from a borehole and are safe. We do have a greywater pond where we recycle some of our water on the plot for watering our garden.
Why people love Patsy
Lovely homestead. Even more than the wonderfully converted bus, the whole plot is a delight. Loved the veg garden and can’t wait to see how the mushrooms come on!
