Artisans Park welcomes people please no pets or dogs. from all around the world with open farm stays and unique accommodation. Please note no pets no dogs as we have stock and other dogs. Here you will find interesting and quirky props from movie sets and fun parks. Set high overlooking the back of the Blue Mountains is one of Australia's most unique farm stays - a genuine red 1949 London double decker bus. Artisans Park is just a three hour drive from Sydney over the Blue Mountains and, at 1000 metres, experiences winter snow and mild summers. The London bus is suitable for children as the upper deck houses the bedroom. The lower deck houses the kitchen and bathroom with a front deck complete with barbecue and amazing views. Relax and watch the kangaroos and eagles from your private deck. Summer swimming in the crystal clear river and winter camp fires where you can toast marshmallows. Around the bus is a large stage, playground, bus stop, traffic lights and sculpture. The lower level has a cooktop "no oven or fridge share fridge at entrance of park", outside gas BBQ and tables. You will need to bring your own drinking water. There is a toilet and shower downstairs. The top deck has two small single beds and one double, quilts and pillows however BYO linen sheets and towels. This bus has featured on many TV shows and is often featured in travel magazines, including on Better Homes and Gardens television in 2013 and in many magazines shoots. No pets please. once again no pets including dogs.

1949 London Bus
That place is amazing, it's so peaceful it's worth it if you're looking for something to relax, it has beautiful views, the sunrise, the sunset and seeing the stars were the most beautiful things we enjoyed during our stay, the accommodation on the bus is very very comfortable and clean. We really just wanted to relax and it exceeded our expectations, and Glenn, is a very friendly host, was attentive and responded quickly. We definitely recommends it and would go again. 💕

Highly recommend staying here
Had an amazing time at the London Bus. Truly a unique experience. It exceeded all our expectations. Breathtaking views, clean accomodation, well-equipred cooking appliances (gas stove and outdoor gas bbq), comfy beds with pillows and blankets, hot shower and flushing toilet, and more! Roaming around Artisans Park was also a lot of fun and there are a lot of quirky and unique things to see and do. Glenn was a great host and he took the time to show us around when he saw us exploring.

We had such a great trip! Glen was accommodating and made us feel very welcome straight away. The land is beautiful and clean with so much attention to detail. The views from all over were breathtaking. We took the paddle boats out around the dam which was so much fun and after we had a swim in the flooded old mine which was such a cool experience. A true hidden gem would definitely recommend!

Amazing views and a GREAT stay!
My husband and I with our 3yo daughter absolutely loved our weekend stay on the bus. What an experience from beginning to end. The views were phenomenal, the peace and quiet was much needed. We saw mountain goats, lots of wallabies and kangaroos and some sheep all came by to visit. Glenn was brilliant, very friendly and let us explore all the land and buildings/cabins. We had so much fun on the pedal boats on the blue lagoon each day. We will definitely be back to experience the bus in winter so we can also enjoy the fireplace and light a camp fire. Thank you Glenn for a great weekend to remember

1949 London Bus
A weekend we’ll always remember
Wow. Where do we start. The 1949 London Bus was a weekend my partner & I had never had the pleasure of experiencing before. We love finding unique accommodation, especially when it reminds of us of how beautiful the simple things in life are. We were 100% comfortable, warm and the bus had everything we needed to cook a bbq dinner, bacon & eggs on the bbq for brekky, and we heated our ready meal Indian curries on the cooktop in the bus’s downstairs kitchen. This is definitely the place to come when you need total relaxation with breathtaking mountain views, sunrises and sunsets in simple but ample arty accommodation you won’t easily find anywhere else. Glenn is a lovely host, who lives down the hill and around the corner. He was responsive when we needed to ask him anything, but very respectful of our privacy. I’d def recommend Artisans Park to anyone looking for peace & quiet and a different experience.
