Excellent communication throughout and flexible when our departure was delayed by 24hrs. Red Beach Horizon provided us with great accommodation over the 5 weeks of hire. Very well equipped kitchen comfy beds and great bedding all added to our experience and made the touring ready and comfortable. The loan of the electric heater was a real bonus on a couple of chilly evenings.

This is a great van with everything you need and some things you didn't know you needed! It is clearly a family van and has lots of little extras like hooks, games and bits and pieces that you wouldn't get with a commercial hire. Melissa's communication was brilliant often responding in minutes. We camped just around yge corner from her on our first night after a long flight and she even came over to help us work the gas cooker as jetlag brain meant we couldn't work it out. The van is clean comfortable and well equipped. We had spare sets of bed linen, towels and separate beach towels for our 6 week trip. The fridge freezer is more than big enough and the water storage is huge. We didn't use the shower as we stayed on sites but we tried it out and it was a good shower with plenty of room in the cubicle. The van is big but handles like a car. My husband did a three point turn on a steep busy road in Wellington when we realised we couldn't get under a bridge. The turning circle is impressive for a van this size. We loved the van and had a great time. No hesitation in recommending Melissa and the van.

We had a great two week trip in Melissa's van. The van is in good condition and is equipped with pretty much everything you would need, which is very important when travelling internationally and relying on someone else's van! As this is the van Melissa camps in herself, it is equipped with what an owner/operator would want/need when camping. There were a couple of peculiarities with the van such as the key playing up a little bit and the van taking a few minutes to recognise the key was in the ignition, which was a bit worrying when we were in very remote areas with no phone service. This resolved itself a few hours later. Having rented other vans through Camplify, I can definitely say I would rent from Melissa again. As mentioned above, Melissa's van is so well equipped and having rented other vans, this is usually the biggest problem. Thanks Melissa and Alan!

This is the second time we have hired Melissa and Alan's campervan and we absolutely loved it again! The campervan is incredibly easy to drive and so comfortable to travel in. Melissa and Alan present the campervan beautifully. It is clean, organised and they really have thought of everything! We loved ever second of our trip and can't wait to book with them again.

We had an awesome holiday in the campervan. It was clean and well equipped. The owners were great at communicating and very helpful. We slept very comfortably. Thanks very much for a fun adventure Red Beach Horizon!

We've just come back from a 16 day trip adventuring down the South Island. Melissa and her son Jackson gave us all the information we needed with the handover. The bed was all set up in the main compartment, even with a topper pad provided. That bed was sooooo comfortable. This motorhome handles like a dream. It provides all the comforts of home. The vision whilst driving is fantastic and the rear camera gives you a clear view of cars behind you at all times. Which allows you to pull over if needs be. The extra information about keeping an eye on the height of rural service stations was a godsend .Highly recommend Red Beach Horizon as a way to see this amazing country of ours.
