We had an amazing 8 nights with Earnie! The van has an efficient set up with everything you need. The solar kept our devices charged and the fridge going for our whole journey, even with a couple of rainy days. We stayed at a combination of freedom camping spots, doc sites and serviced campgrounds around Fiordland and the West Coast. The bed is comfy with good quality (warm!) duvet and pillows. Window covers kept it nice and dark for sleep ins, too. Jonos communication was great, pick up and drop off was very easy. Theyre located very close to QT airport. We are already looking forward to our next Van adventure and highly recommend Earnie!

I really loved exploring the south island with Debbie. She is an old vehicle with a lots of charm! Ben & Jono were also really lovely and helpful at all time. Would definitely hire Debbie again!

Such a great campervan and a really easy hire. Communication with Jono and Ben was super friendly and they were always quick to respond. The setup was incredible, especially the kitchen, which was really well equipped and easy to use. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well thought out. Made the whole trip so easy and stress free. Would definitely hire again and highly recommend!

What a fantastic time we had with Giovanni. A perfect van for a 5 day trip. Plenty of space for 2 people and all the gear required to make it a great adventure. Jono made everything seamless and easy!

Words cannot describe how perfect our trip was because of this van. Sure, its just a self contained van, how amazing could it be? But the heart of it is the owners Jono and Ben. Their love for adventure beams through this vehicle. Everything is built so intuitively. From the pullout stove in the back, to the luggage straps in the shelves, every moment of your trip has been meticulously thought out before you even THINK about booking your adventure. We are so incredibly honoured to have been the first ever booking of 'Giovanni,' a name so hilarious its now an inside joke. The handover was thorough and we were met with incredible warmth from the moment we showed up. Jono and Ben had the best recommendations for hidden gems and great freedom camp spots that would have us as basking in the beauty of nature, completely on our own. No need to bring your own fairy lights or dish soap, because this van has it all. But thats not everything. The pillow situation was heavenly. Our heads have never been blessed by such comfort. 'Giovanna,' is more than just a van. It's love, and it shines from every surface. Thank you so so so much. We are so excited for everyone else who gets to have their adventures with this van. Don't be afraid to share your photos with Jono and Ben, they are just as thrilled about your trip as you are. Much love, Jayda and Lara
