This was the perfect adventure rig to explore the South Island. Great to drive, extremely comfortable to sleep in, practical, and convenient- everything about the vehicle was well thought out. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great NZ holiday.

We had a great trip in big Bertha, set up is exactly as described and so easy to set up and pack down and to go exploring. Gareth is also extremely responsive and really went out of his way for us - thanks Gareth!

We recently spent 17 days exploring the South Island, and hiring this 4WD was easily the best decision we made for the trip. If youre looking for total freedom and reliability, this is the setup to get. Don't be put off that it isn't self contained as it really isn't a requirement and we had no problems camping wherever we wanted in the middle of peak season. Big Birtha exceeded all our expectations, this 4WD handled everything from steep alpine passes to gravel backroads. It felt sturdy, safe, and powerful enough to get us everywhere we wanted to go without a second thought. Gareth made sure that the car came with pretty much everything to get our trip started, from providing table ,chairs, all bedding, towels and even a coffee machine (with coffee). This rig turned a great holiday into an unforgettable adventure. It provided the perfect balance of capability and comforts. We couldnt have asked for a better companion for our South Island road trip. Highly recommended!

We had a great time exploring the South Island in Big Bertha. The car had a great setup with everything we needed for our trip. Gareth had great communication and worked out pickups/drop offs around our flights and schedule. Would 10/10 recommend!
