Hi, I'm Liam

Pace Arrow is a slick sliver machine. We flew up the south Island for a few days around the Abel Tasman Park. It handles well on the windy roads and has plenty of pep to overtake in the passing lanes and power up the hills. Liam is a friendly, exuberant owner. He is passionate about his vehicles and provides everything needed for a great little holiday.

Great van, great value for money - very appreciative of Liam's help and communication - ideal for getting around the south island!

Great van, pulled up the hills without an issue, bed could have been more comfortable but an easy fix with replacement foam. Well equipped even down to a hot water bottle!

Amazing time driving around New Zealand. The van ran amazing and Liam gave us great information on where to go and how to get about.

We had a wonderful journey with Surfers Dream! Although a bit older we had no engine issues at all! It is very practical with all small racks and large drawers to put in all your stuff. Liam is very kind and easy to communicate with!

J'ai loué le van de Liam pendant une semaine et tout s'est bien passé. Vous trouverez les équipements de base pour la cuisine ainsi que pour les loisirs ( surf, tente, bodyboard) C'est une voiture ancienne qui présente donc ces petits défauts avec des portes un peu capricieuses mais cela ne m'a pas empêcher de passer un bon séjour. J'ai traversé l'île du Sud sans encombre. De plus Liam est sympathique.

Awesome Van ! Liam is an absolute legend, this van has everything you need, will definitely be hiring again next time in NZ :)

In the brief time we had the van, the glove box cover came completely off from normal driving and without being touched, the AC both didn't work and made a horrible squeal when turned on, and the passenger side window would stay stuck open which was unpleasant when driving in rain. Liam acknowledged he knew about some these issues and ignored the others when we mentioned these to him. The van also kept not starting and we regularly had to get jumped. Ultimately, while several hours out of Christchurch and several days into our vacation, we had to return the van because the issue with not starting was escalating and the van couldn't reliably be turned off. We had to rent another van and get temporary lodging last minute that was very expensive. When we asked Liam for a refund for the portion of the trip we did not have the van for he was curt, demeaning, and rude. We tried de-escalating but he continued to talk down to us while insisting we pay for the whole rental. Part of his claim to us was that he told us to contact a number at Camplify for roadside assistance when we rented the van. He did not tell us about any such number or how it worked. He did, however, say that if there were issues or the van needed anything he would reimburse us of what we spent on the van. To my knowledge, Camplify does not have a process for this and I don't know how that would have worked. Several days into the trip, for when we had the van, Liam messaged us saying he had the registration for the vehicle and asked if we were still in Christchurch. I asked what he was referring to and said we were not in Christchurch anymore. He told me he had registration for the van and that he had given me 20 NZD to pay for it at a post office. We never had a conversation about the van not being properly registered and he never gave me 20 NZD. Aside from the challenges above, the van was in poor condition in general, which makes sense as Liam said it was his daily driver. The built up framing supporting the bed is barely supported on the toilet seat and would fall off regularly. The storage unit on top of the van didn't properly close, which Liam advised me on when I picked the van up. The "fridge" is a USB powered cooler that Liam said could just be ran for a few hours while driving. We left the cooler plugged in while driving for 3-4 hours at a time and it never got cold. The front seats were soaking wet when he gave us the van and that water quickly soaked through the towels he gave us to put over the seats. The van cost us a lot of time, money, and stress on our vacation. Liam made it clear he had no intention of trying to make things right with us, did not have a willingness to meet anywhere in the middle, and was aware of several operational and legal registration issues. Operating the van and dealing with Liam were both stressful and by far the worst part of our trip.

We had a good holiday in the camper van and I would recommend it. The downside was that some features of the fan were out of order such as AC, front fan and the radio system, which we werent told, and only noticed after we got the van from Liam. I would recommend renting from Liam but make sure to ask about the condition of the vehicle if these features matter to you.

Liam was always very responsive and supportive. He gave us helpful recommendations and tips, which were very valuable during our journey. This was our first campervan experience, and we were lucky to have the President as our travel mate. She was amazing, driving effortlessly like a bird, and caused no issues at all during our trip. The campervan was comfortable for two people to travel safely and comfortably. It had all the required facilities, including a kitchen,portable toilet, two fridges, camping tables, and chairs etc. The bed was also comfortable. We truly enjoyed our trip with President and highly recommend it to anyone considering a booking. Once again, thank you, Liam, for being so humble and supportive.
