Hi, I'm Shaun

March 15, 2026

We had a great time staying in The Schmo, the van had everything we needed and we were comfortable and warm throughout. Smooth and easy to drive. Shaun was very helpful and gave us all the info we needed. Would happily hire again.

Shaun's handover was excellent, very detailed. There were no issues whilst we had the van. It was comfortable to sleep in and easy to drive. Shaun offered for us to keep the van a little longer before returning it, which was appreciated.

Van has everything you need for camping and freedom camping . Shaun was excellent, with a great handover, communication and transfer to and from the airport. Any issues he wants to be aware of, and he will sort. The van is a very powerful vehicle that drives excellently. Easy to drive and a good, reliable motor. Overall, good experience with the SCHMOO. Missing her and our holiday!

We had a great holiday in The Schmoo and the van was exactly as described. Shaun did a very comprehensive handover from a checklist and this information was exactly what we needed. He included extra blankets because we were worried about the cold weather (which turned out to be no problem because the van was always cozy). There were extras in the van like tea, coffee, oil, salt and pepper, paper towels and toilet paper- and paracetamol! We had all the cooking stuff we needed, including matches as the ignitor did not seem to like cold weather. We had to buy a connector fitting for the water hose but Shaun re-imbursed us. The driving was easy in the van and no problems mechanically. Shaun also did a pick-up and drop-off (extra charge). Very satisfied with our experience with Shaun.

The Schmoo. Where can I begin. From the very outset, Shaun was great and very easy to deal with. Very prompt and fast on replying. The extra pick up from the airport service offered was great, too! The handover was very informative. Travels and staying in the schmoo were awesome. Easy set up. Great amount of room for those slightly more wetter days where you can do everything in the van. 0 issues with the van on our travels and was exceptionally sad to see it go. If we return to the south island, we will definitely strive to deal with Shaun and the schmoo. Thanks again!

Perfect Van and Friendly Owner

Great van and lovely, amazing and helpful host/owner! Did airport pick up and drop off. Van is well equipped with towels, bedding, crockery, cards to play, and the van itself handles the road well. Comfortable bedding with two adults, one on the bottom and one on the top in our case. beds are also handle to assemble/disassemble. Thanks very much Shaun!
