Hi, I'm Kali

Margot was the perfect little home for my two-week adventure around the South Island! She had everything I needed and was so thoughtfully set up, super comfy bed, plenty of equipment to cook and organise my things, and honestly just such a cozy vibe to come back to each night. I felt totally comfortable driving and camping in all sorts of weather. Kali and Liam were absolutely wonderful hosts, so easy to communicate with, quick to answer any questions, and full of amazing local recommendations. I really couldnt have asked for a better experience :)

Matilda was the perfect van for our special 2 week roadtrip- Cosy & functional. Kali & Liam were beyond generous & communicative. We loved the games & hammock as additional goodies that came with hiring Matilda!! Definitely recommend this affordable & awesome Van for your NZ adventures.

Matilda was more than perfect! She kept me warm and had everything I could need all inside! She slugs up the hills but whos in a rush to get anywhere when in NZ? There is ample space in the van and the bed is quite comfy. Kali was lovely to coordinate with and was so accommodating! And she had so many great recommendations. You wont be disappointed with choosing Matilda!

5/5 stars for Matilda and Kali & Liam! Matilda van has covered all the needs of a challenging 5-days camping at the end of winter in the South Island of NZ. It's all you need to safely discover and camp around NZ. Kali & Liam were just amazing communicators, quick in answering and always keen to give suggestions and tips. Very appreciated. They are definitely our go-to-van for once we will be back in NZ. Thanks guys :)

I had the time of my life in Matilda. She was absolutely perfect for my 10 day solo trip around the South Island. K&L were so helpful and lovely and helped with any questions I had. Honestly - an unforgettable trip and Matilda was such a big part of it. I miss the van already. Easy drive (just slow up hills) and got everything you need!

Do yourself a favor and BOOK THIS VAN! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!!! Kali and Liam were such legends throughout the whole experience Not only did they give me a great run through of all Matilda was capable of but they had true knowledge of the surrounding areas! Matilda herself felt very homely and was a great home for the 6 nights I had the pleasure of booking. Matilda felt very spacious and was well thought out during the building process, as someone who owns a van themselves at home I have gotten some great new ideas to upgrade my own. The bed was super comfortable and the blanket was incredibly warm when I was in some subzero temperatures during my travels into the mountains. I cant thank Kali and Liam enough for all their help along the way, they made my experience so much easier and their recommendations were exactly what I was looking for. I love New Zealand and I very much look forward to booking Matilda again and getting some more insider information from Kali the next time I get a chance to come back to Queenstown.

Matilda was excellent! Just what we needed for a short 3-day trip to Fiordlands National Park. The van was well-stocked with everything we needed. Liam and Kali were great hosts and were very communicative and helpful with any questions we had, hiking recommendations, etc. Comfy mattress and bedding, and overall a really reliable van!
