Steve 5.0We chose SpringLight Motorhomes to book our motorhome holiday as you can select which van you like, as opposed to being what is available from other motorhome companies. We had Felix who was brand new to Shane at SpringLight. It was spotless and neat and tidy with gas cooker, gas 3 hob top, good cupboard space, large fridge, compact shower and separate loo and a comfy bed. We loved the bug screens! We made use of the heater on a couple of nights, we were able to phone Shane when we needed assistance with getting the heating going and he was very prompt to help us! Overall an excellent van, easy to drive and park. We would definitely book via SpringLight again in the future.
Julia 5.0Serena was a dream come true. Compact enough to handle easily on the roads, she is no bigger than an ordinary van, yet has plenty of storage and is stocked with everything we needed to cook and clean and sleep comfortably. In stocking Serena, Julia struck a perfect balance of going beyond the necessities and maintaining simplicity. The key was the organization. We cooked breakfast and dinners on the stove. The fridge was the perfect size to stock several days worth of food for two people. The french press was perfect for two. All of the kitchen utensils we needed were there, including knives, cutting board, scissors, wine glasses, plates and bowls, even containers for storing leftovers. Wet wipes, paper towels, cloth towels, and sweeper brush made it easy to keep clean. The bed is VERY comfortable! I was surprised, with such a small space and modular mattress, just how supportive and soft the bed was. It felt seamless. Two small-ish women had plenty of room to sleep, with perfect little compartments for storing things within reach, and strung lights to make it a cozy space. Window curtains assured privacy. Setting up the bed every night was more of a hassle than we were willing to deal with, so we chose to keep the bed set up the entire time and didn't use the bench seating and table inside the van. The two folding chairs and folding table made it easy and comfortable to sit outside to cook and eat. Julia was sweet and gracious, and was available throughout the trip for any questions. She responded within hours of any inquiry. She took ample time to walk us through Serena when she dropped it off so we were both confident in all of the operations. She was also flexible with the pick up and drop off locations. Thank you, Julia! Serena made this trip unforgettable! And all this, at an incredibly affordable price. Book this van now! You won't regret it.
Martina 5.0Working with SpringLight was fantastic. An exceptional company with spotless and well maintained vehicles. Customer service is exceptional. We were referred to Springlight by a friend who also had a great experience. Shane is immediately responsive and has a lot of knowledge about campervan/rv rental in NZ. They are a small company with personalized care. I have heard it can be very impersonal with the bigger companies. Shane met us at the airport and spent a lot of time with us getting to know the van. He was VERY thorough so we felt comfortable driving away. Also we did not have to wait hours in line to get our van. Another HUGE plus is that the rental company logo is not plastered all over the van. There is a small logo on the back. So you aren't marked as a tourist as you travel around the country. Shane also enjoyed getting pictures of us on our travels. I highly recommend Springlight to anyone travelling to the South Island of New Zealand.
Rory 5.0Vanessa was really great to deal with, and the van has everything we needed for a little weekend sleep-away. Very appreciative!
Elle 5.0Great off-grid experience team We recently took this van for a four day trip to Lochinvar Station and it exceeded all our expectations. The setup is a dream for remote camping, between the lithium batteries and ample solar power, we had a low stress weekend without worrying about power. Rachel and Jake have thought of everything, the van was stocked with all the essentials to get away (and then some). The kids loved the marshmallows and hot chocolate! The beds were comfortable, and the van towed great throughout the trip. Well definitely be booking again soon. Thanks again, Rachel and Jake
Chantel 5.0What an amazing caravan! Had such a great experience. Great communication with super easy handover. Loved all the accessories that came with the caravan - coffee machine, airfryer/grill unit, etc. And especially loved the treats that were left in the caravan for our little ones . Would definitely book again.
Jack 4.5Me and my girlfriends rented the van for 2 weeks, we had a great time and would definitely rent the van again from Gina.
Ryan 5.0Van was great. It ran well, it was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Owners were good blokes, very easy to deal with. Highly recommended.
Linley 5.0The van was perfect for our needs. Cadmiel was a treasure, helping us get everything set up exactly how we needed, very kind and understanding person. I would definitely recommend this caravan and this owner. Wonderful experience.

Evelyne 5.0We enjoyed our almost 7 weeks across New Zealand in this reliable motorhome. So great to have always everything with you!
Linley 5.0The van was perfect for our family gathering. Evelien was a fabulous 'host' and we loved our long weekend. The awning gave us lots of space to keep our things safe and dry. Thanks for everything!
Samantha 5.0Great amazing van. Drives well and great setup. Really comfortable to sleep in. Definitely get this van
Raymond 5.0Martin and his campervan, Tanga, paved the way to one of the best trips of our lives. His communication was clear, he is a knowledgeable outdoorsman and taught us all aspects we needed to fully enjoy the campervan. He was always available for communication with a smile. The van operated well, was fun to drive, and decent on gas. Well worth the price. We highly recommend renting this campervan.
Richard 4.8We had a wonderful time. Van was extremely comfortable to travel in and sleep in. Very happy to recommend
Allie 5.0Was perfect for what we needed, somewhere warm to sleep, shelter and cook. Excellent communication and easy location for pick up and drop off.
Timothy 4.8Great little van with the basics covered. Bed was comfortable and it drives really easy. Great for the budget conscious and the owners are very hospitable.
Liny 4.8For one person very spacious and an easy to drive campervan. It has enough power for the mountains and isnt too big which is nice on smaller roads. Perfect for freedom camping. Even when it rains you have everything you need inside. Had a great 18 days on the North Island. Good taster of New Zealand
Maarten 5.0Amazing little comfy camper. Everything you need for a getaway. Ben's communication was amazing and even meet us at the airport. Would book again.
