Hiya, I'm a mum of 3, 1 daughter and 2 Yorkies. Not 100% sure who needs looking after more. ;) I'm from Sheffield, UK, and have been living in NZ for just over 10 years. It's a beautiful country, and there's always something wonderful to see. My husband built this van, which he converted to a campervan. He has been in the New Zealand tourism industry for over 17 years and has built many JUCY rental campers and has great knowledge of what to see in New Zealand over those years! He knows what tourists want in a campervan and knows what to check for! My husband does quality control checks for mechanical parts, and domestic items are done before every hire. My husband is very handy with the tools & knowledge to ensure you have a great holiday in New Zealand! The Yorkie will take you there!

Our cozy campervan was our faithful home for three weeks and close to 3000 kilometres across New Zealands South Island. It had everything needed (no extras cluttering space) for our active days of trekking, kayaking, exploring. The fantastic bed, duvet, and pillows ensured restful nights. The roof solar panel delivered total off-grid independence at all times (no need to plug in!). The owners heart and soul shone through. Wed rent it again. Thank you Tim and Tanya.

We had the best time travelling around the South Island in the Yorkie Explorer on our two-week campervanning trip! Tanya and her husband Tim made sure we had a fantastic time, picking us up from the airport and doing a handover of the van. The van was stocked with all the essentials (cookware, bedding, camping equipment etc.) and was very easy to use throughout. The bed was also super comfortable! As someone who is 6'2", sleeping was perfectly fine. The van itself was great. It was very easy to set everything up each night and to drive around the South Island. The van performed well on the roads, and was even able to do the steep drive down to and up from Milford Sound (albeit at a slower pace up the hills). We would definitely recommend the Yorkie Explorer for any travellers looking for a smaller van which still has all the amenities and essentials needed for a great campervanning trip. Thank you Tanya and Tim!

We had a fantastic holiday and the van let us see an amazing and unique side to the South Island of New Zealand. Whether it was waking up near a beach or in a campsite surrounded by curious Bumble Bees gently flying around the van in the morning sun. A very memorable holiday was made possible through this van.
