We had a brilliant 15 day trip in Bongi! Had no issues with the van and the hosts were very friendly, informative, helpful and communicative throughout our entire trip. Very comfy bed and the kitchenette was stocked with everything you need. Would definitely recommend Bongi for anyone looking to travel around New Zealand.

Bongi was a great van to see the South Island in! It had everything we needed for our travels. Cecilia was lovely and very accommodating! She was quick to reply to messages and very helpful whenever we had a question. We travelled around with three people - borrowing a tent and inflatable mattress from Cecilia. It was tight but doable. Would definitely hire Bongi again!

Bongi was great for our south island travels, and we enjoyed manual transmission for navigating the many hills. No issues with the van at all, it was well equipped and well looked after. The driving cab was not built for large or extra tall people - it might be a bit squishy. Communication with Cecilia and Tahi was open and easy.

If you're looking for a comfortable, practical, and super cozy van, this is the one. Bongi was amazingperfectly laid out, making every inch of space incredibly useful. Communication with Ceci and Tahi was smooth and easygoing. They shared great recommendations on camping spots, places to shop, and must-visit destinations from their perspective. For the drop-off, they were really flexible, and we were able to agree on a time that worked for both sides. If we ever come back to NZ, wed definitely reach out to them again!

We had an incredible experience with this van! From the moment we picked it up, everything was perfect. The van was in excellent conditionclean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable trip. Thanks to this van, our journey was smooth and stress-free. It drove beautifully, had great fuel efficiency, and gave us the freedom to explore without any worries. The interior was spacious and comfortable, making our travels even more enjoyable. Every detail was well thought out, and we truly appreciated the quality and reliability of the vehicle. We would 100% recommend this van to anyone looking for a top-notch travel experience. Without a doubt, a five-star experience!

We loved our time in Bongi!! Bongi felt like home with all the bits and bobs you dont get if you hire a van through a company. Supringly spacious and we loved the outside kitchen from the back. Couldnt recommend a Bongi adventure anymore !

Bongi was the perfect van for exploring the South Island. Myself and my brother ventured all over the island and loved Bongi (he made us want to buy a van instantly). The van is kitted out with everything you need on the go and had no issues. The bed is unbelievably comfy and we always slept so well. The owners were very responsive and made everything easy for us. I would hire Bongi again in a heart beat, thank you! James (UK)
