Really cute and amazingly refurbished bus accomodation. Has everything you need for a short getaway. Conveniently located just outside of Ballarat, amenities close by in neighbouring towns. Ella the host communicates very well and went above and beyond in accomodating us considering it was 40 degrees on our check in day!

We had a wonderful stay at Miss Beddy Bus. Such a unique and charming place, surrounded by nature and so peaceful — it felt like a proper escape from the city.The bus itself was beautifully set up: cosy, clean, and thoughtfully styled with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the attention to detail and how welcoming the space felt. Sitting outside, enjoying the fresh air and quiet surroundings, was a real highlight.Perfect for a relaxing getaway, reconnecting with nature, or just slowing down for a bit. We left feeling refreshed and would absolutely recommend Miss Beddy Bus to anyone looking for something a little different and special.

Miss Beddy is an absolutely gorgeous stay. Very clean and modern, cost bus that's been converted. All amenities work, although it can be a squeeze if you're really tall!The location is great, very quiet, but not too far from local attractions and supermarkets

Exceeded expectations

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The photos on the listing dont do it justice!! It's super cute inside, everything you need and more. The surrounding forest is so peaceful and wonderful to enjoy a coffee or meal with those views. If you're over 6ft the shower requires a little ducking but it ads to the experience. Loved it!!!

Miss Beddy is amazing. The conversation has been done so professionally with quality fixtures and fittings. So much consideration has been given to ensures guest are more than adequately catered for. The surroundings are beautiful and very private. If you are looking for a very unique experience without compromising on luxury please consider staying at Miss Beddy. The host was exceptional and communication was fantastic. We only spent two nights but could have easily stayed longer as she has everything you need. Highly, highly recommend.

Some places don’t just give you a bed for the night — they give you a feeling you didn’t realise you were missing.Tucked deep into the bushland of Mount Helen, this stay is wrapped in tall gum trees, drifting leaves, and a silence so complete it almost hums. From the moment you turn onto the gravel driveway, the forest canopy arches overhead and the world you came from begins to fall away. The air smells like eucalyptus and earth. Birds become the soundtrack. Time loosens its grip.As the sun sinks, the bush glows. Orange and pink light threads between the trunks, turning the landscape into a living silhouette. It’s the kind of sunset you don’t rush to photograph because you’re too busy standing still inside it.At the heart of it all sits the beautifully restored vintage caravan — polished aluminium on the outside, warm timber tones and cosy comfort within. It feels honest, thoughtfully done, and full of character. The kind of place where you kick off your shoes, open the door, and let the forest air roll straight in. Morning coffee here hits differently. Mornings unfold slowly, cool air on your face, nothing demanding your attention.What makes this stay unforgettable isn’t luxury — it’s stillness. Real Australian bushland surrounds you: ferns, native scrub, leaf-littered paths, and walking tracks that snake quietly through the trees. You’re constantly reminded that you’re in true, untouched bushland — not a manicured garden.
