Hi, I'm Oli

November 5, 2025

I had the best time in Oli's #7 van! It was the perfect vehicle for exploring the beautiful New Zealand countryside. It was comfortable to drive, spacious, and I felt extremely safe and secure throughout my trip. Oli and his son Toby were incredibly accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. This was my first solo camping trip, so I was a bit nervous, but they provided all the information and advice I needed for an excellent experience. During my stay, there was a weather warning, and I really appreciated that Oli reached out to give me a heads-up since I hadnt been watching the news. His response time to messages was impressively fast, and the cherry on top was being able to arrange a drop-off in Dunedin, which saved me so much time at the end of my trip. Highly recommend Olis vans for anyone looking for a safe, reliable, and well-supported adventure in New Zealand!

I had a great time in Olis car camper, I went in the end of April so it got a bit chilly but otherwise a really smooth and enjoyable adventure.

We didn't use the van as a camper van as my wife had a recent injury that made this impractical. The van handled well, was easy to drive and comfortable. We did use the fridge throughout, which was great. Would be happy to hire again from Oli.

Our holiday was great because we made it great, but the van was far below expectations. I shouldn't have choosen a vehicle with so few photos and just one review, but I trusted too much in Oli's marketing skills. Things we found unacceptable: 1) We found that one side door was broken and unusable with no previous notice or compensation. It was much worse considering it was the door of the fridge side, making so much more unconfortable to access to it. 2) The car was terribly dirty. Maybe acceptable for a 20yo backpacker, but absolutely not for us. We had to clean it to be able to sleep in and we have returned it much cleaner than we found it. 3) The left windshield wiper didn't work at all. 4) The A/C didn't work at all, making very exhausting the hot days. 5) The duvet was very thin and no hot water bags (as promised in the profile), so the cold nights were freezing. 6) The frigde uses the only lighter connector of the car, so it's impossible to charge any phone or device while you are driving if you want to use the fridge. 7) That only charger stopped to work at some point, probably because a fuse. So finally no fridge and no charger. Things that can be improved: 1) It has no sense to have a fridge that doesn't work with the car stopped. Normally you stop in a camping and you open the fridge to cook, and then the fridge will be warm the rest of the night. In my opinion the fridge has only sense with a secondary battery. 2) The reversing camera doesn't work 3) The way to access the storage is very uncomfortable, specially the rear one, when you need to move all the matress to access. 4) It's very difficult to take out the water and the grey water containers and very easy to brake the sink pipes. 5) The sink drain seemed to be broken and glued in a way that a lot of water remains always in the sink, so you need to wipe it all the time if you don't want bad smell. Maybe you can think that this was a cheap rental so you can not expect that everything should be perfect. But after the trip I checked the price of the same car with Elements RV World and SpaceShips Rentals, and it was considerably cheaper and considerably more professional. My bad, I should have checked it before, but I trusted the idea that Camplify is always cheaper and nicer. I was wrong.

It has been a wonderful compagnon during my roadtrip on the South Island. The infrastructure is good and the distances duable if you're driving alone. The journey was just as beautiful as the destination. I experienced the freedom to the fullest. Cheers!

This van was perfect for me and my partner's one month trip around the South Island. Everything was as described and Oli was very easy to hire from, making the entire process very smooth. We were surprised how spacious the van was once set up into the sleeping position and it was a great way to explore NZ. Definitely recommend :)

I traveled around the South Island in Oli's Nissan Serena. The communication upfront, the handover and all the information were flawless. Oli also gave me a printout with the most important information. His wife even gave me fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden, so I had directly something to cook with the first days. The campervan is equipped with everything you need. I was traveling alone so it was super comfortable and I had plenty of space to sleep. The rides were comfortable and I really liked the size of the vehicle. I'm totally happy that I found Oli's Nissan Serena and would book again!

We absolutely loved our trip with this van! It was perfect for my partner and me during our 10-day journey across the South Island. The camp chairs and kitchen items were a fantastic bonus! We can't recommend it enough and will definitely be booking again when we return to explore more of the South Island. Oli was incredibly accommodating and even allowed us to pick up the van from the airport since we arrived late in the evening. An absolute legend everything was great!

Oli was really great. We had everything provided for the trip. This made our very first campervan experience memorable. Highly recommended.
