Hi, I'm Phil

Five out of five! Jackie and Phil are absolutely fantastic owners, and Maverick was the perfect choice for our two-week honeymoon around the South Island. From the moment we picked it up, it was clear how much care and thought they put into every detail. The personal touches really made Maverick feel like a true home from home it genuinely had everything we could possibly need and more (the Weber BBQ, Nespresso machine, mosquito nets on windows were brilliant/essential extras!). Some highlights were the incredibly comfortable, spacious bed, the hot and powerful shower, and the large fridge that stayed reliably cold throughout our trip (great for the beers). We initially had two concerns the size (at 8 metres) and whether off-grid camping would be easy but both disappeared quickly. NZs roads are perfectly suited to Maverick, and it turned out to be ideal for travelling off-grid. Jackie and Phil gave us an excellent handover and provided a really helpful manual and checklist, which made everything stress-free once we got on the road. Choosing Maverick instead of a rental company was one of the best decisions we made for our honeymoon. We wouldnt hesitate to rent from Jackie and Phil again.

We had the most fantastic holiday in Maverick and could not recommend it more. Despite not having used a large campervan before, it was so easy! Not only is the camper extremely comfortable in all weather conditions -from cold Mount Cook to the warmth of the west coast- its great to drive! We drove Maverick around much of the South Island for ~2 weeks and felt the camper matched our needs perfectly. Plenty of internal/fridge storage and doesnt have that cramped van feeling. The full size queen bed is so comfortable and a real luxury on the road, as is the spacious bathroom. Maverick allowed us to enjoy New Zealands natural beauty in style and comfort. Phil and Julie are the most fantastic hosts and they have thought of everything from card games to tea/coffee/linen and even heat packs for any cold nights. They were readily contactable if needed and only too happy to help. Thanks again Phil and Julie - we will certainly be hiring again in the future!

This has been the best holiday to date! Phil and Jackie were fantastic hostsextremely friendly and accommodating. Maverick, the campervan, was spacious, clean, and provided a hassle-free travel experience; it truly felt like home. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get. We are thrilled that we chose Maverick and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a motorhome for their holiday. We had the time of our lives, and a huge thank you goes to Phil and Jackie!

Thought we would give a his and hers review of our experience.. Hers: I felt like I had luxury on wheels, everything I could have needed/wanted was thought of. I was surprised at how spacious it was and the bed was so comfy. I also appreciated the communication, this was my first time using Camplify (also in another country) I had lots of questions before our trip, everything was answered and I felt the whole process was smooth and easy for me. His: The Maverick Camper is in a league of its own when it comes to on-road facilities at an affordable price. I genuinely cant fault this camperand Ive seen a lot of them. Phil and Jackie are old-school with their service, and it shows. Theyve set the van up properly, like they were getting it ready for someone in their own family. Everythings where it should be, everything works, and theyve thought of all the small stuff people usually forget plates, cups, cutlery, all of it. Theres plenty of storage and lighting, the shower and toilet setup is easy, airflow is good if you want it, and when its all shut at night its surprisingly quiet. Honestly, I cant fault it. If you want something solid and ready to go, this one ticks the boxes. I dont hand out 10/10 ratings often, but this one definitely deserves it. Phil and Jackie have nailed it.
