Additional information

Thanks for checking out Yarta-arra — our beloved Toyota Coaster bus turned comfy, calm, and capable home on wheels. His name was chosen by a Kaurna Elder (which we're so grateful for) and roughly translates to “meandering around on Country,”... the perfect vibe for your adventure. Yarta-arra is ideal for couples, friends comfortable sharing a bed, solo travellers, or a parent and child getaway. Inside, you’ll find a super comfy queen bed, a full kitchen with a big 230L fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, and double induction cooktop — plus all the utensils and cookware you need to whip up your favourite meals. There’s also a stowable dining table, games and puzzle books for relaxing downtime, plus a great sound system that pairs easily with an iPhone (not yet tested with Android) for use while the bus is running, and a Bluetooth speaker for when it’s not. A gas hot water outdoor shower for refreshing off-grid living is an optional extra for your trip should you request it (note: there’s no toilet on board). He runs on a turbo diesel engine, happily cruising up to 110km/h on open roads — just keep in mind hills and heavy loads slow him down a bit. Yarta-arra is drivable on a standard manual car licence, but because he’s close to the 4.5T weight limit, we ask guests to keep the combined weight of all passengers and their luggage under 280kg. When you’re stationary, you’re welcome to use all three 60L water tanks, but when driving please use no more than two tanks at a time to stay within the weight limit. Power-wise, he’s set up for modern living with 3x 175W solar panels, 3x 100Ah lithium batteries, and a 3000W inverter/charger. Whether you’re plugged into external 240V power or relying on solar and batteries, the inverter will power the microwave, toaster, and cooktop (just make sure it’s switched on). For everything else, the 12V system keeps your lights and USB chargers running without needing the inverter. We’re happy to pre-stock the fridge and pantry for you if you want to hit the road fully loaded — just ask, and we’ll organise it for a small extra fee. If you’re thinking about a one-way trip, let’s chat! We’re open to making it happen if we can accommodate it. We’ll send you a handy guide before your trip, and there are manuals on board for appliances if you need a refresher mid-journey. Looking forward to helping you make some unforgettable memories with Yarta-arra!

  It was an exceptional experience! We took the van on a 5 day trip over to the eyre peninsula for some diving, hiking and exploring. Sarah gave a great handover and explained everything we needed to know. Its a beautifully designed van and incredibly cozy. The drive was smooth and simple. We both found it comfortable and easy to handle. We cooked most meals over the 5 days in the van. Most of which were pre-prepared but the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Small word of warning, Im 62 and my head hits the roof while standing. I quickly adjusted but the rest of the van is super spacious and comfortable. The queen size bed is a complete luxury while camping It was really nice having the wardrobe and under-bed storage. We unpacked and were able to keep the space tidy and make it feel like home.
