After living abroad in Bali and Vancouver for many years, we couldn't resist the call of our home land and its stunning landscapes and welcoming culture. Vanlife has allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of this country, from the rugged coastlines to the towering mountains. There is a certain feeling you get traveling in a campervan and we think everyone should get a chance to experience it without the restrictions of a rigid travel itinerary or a cramped hotel room. With vanlife, you have the freedom to create your own adventure and discover the hidden gems of this beautiful country.

We had an awesome time in Richard & Shar's campervan. We were 3 adults, going from Christchurch -> Tekapo -> Wanaka and back, and fit snuggly but comfortably. Having it stocked and ready to go with kitchen cutlery, bedding and towels made the trip a lot easier. Richard & Shar were very communicative with questions before/during the trip as well. Would recommend!

We had the most wonderful time travelling around the South Island, and the van played a huge part in making the trip so enjoyable. It was the perfect size for the two of us and quickly became a cosy little home on wheels. Everything was thoughtfully set up, making life on the road easy and stress-free, whether we were driving long distances or settling in for the night. It was comfortable, practical, and ideal for exploring for a week we couldnt have asked for a better way to travel.

It was a wonderful experience traveling with this van. However, we encountered battery issues twice during our trip and had to use a jumper to recharge the battery in order to continue. On cold nights, a powered site is definitely necessary to run the heater. Unfortunately, on one of the nights, the heater didnt work and we lost all power inside the van despite being connected to power. As for the toilet, its practically unusable it seems to be included only to meet government requirements for campervans. Youre advised not to use it except in emergencies. Other than that, everything else was good.

Top top campervan and owners. Super chill and easygoing and more importantly, the van has everything you need for a comfy and amazing roadtrip-even in winter! If you are thinking between campervans, don't. Just book this one! Thank you Richard, Shar, Auntie and Uncle for letting us have the trip of a lifetime.

Perfect van for my South Island surf roadie! Fit my surfboard neatly inside and had everything I needed for a care free trip. Richard and Shar were excellent at communicating and made sure pick up and drop off ran smoothly. Highly recommend!

We had the most amazing 3 week trip around the South Island in Sunward Bound! Everything was communicated perfectly, the van was exactly as described (and spotlessly clean!), super easy to drive, and had absolutely everything we needed for a really comfortable trip. The van is also super spacious and great on rainy days when you need to hunker down. Highly, highly recommended this van, 10/10 thank you Richard and Shar!
