It was amazing! The van was a great base, really well equipped for everything I needed to explore. The kitchen was just perfect there was something genuinely magical about cooking outside in the fresh air, with the birds, the light, and the quiet around me. Those simple moments became some of the best memories of the trip. Anthony was so helpful with all the information about the van, and that made it instantly feel like a home on wheels. It was cosy and happy in a way that stayed with me the kind of place you look forward to returning to after a day out in the wilderness. Theres such a lovely feeling in travelling around the South Island, meeting new people, finding those quiet camp spots, and then coming home to your warm, comfortable base at the end of the day. It really made the whole holiday extra special. Thank you for a magical break on the South Island Id absolutely book this van again!

The van is amazing. It has all the amenities you could need & more than you can fathom. The bed sleeps fine and there is 2 of everything. The communication with Anthony & Elsie was good and the handover was efficiënt. The one thing I would like to mention is the gas mileage. The van drove, on average, 60L for 400km. This was not advertised (which I can understand)and gave us a bit of a mixed taste. The van is worth it very much, just be aware when planning

I loved every minute of my trip! Its a lovely van, with everything you need! It is really homey and was my little safe space on my trip. The kitchen and everything that comes with it was amazing. I slept really well and felt comfortable. It needs very much fuel though. So you really have to keep it in mind, also because on the west coast gas stations are rare! You need to plan ahead. Communication with Anthony was great. He is very responsive and friendly. His friend, who handed over the van, gave me all the information I needed and was really lovely as well. All in all it was a very unique experience and I loved it.

Overall, very nice trip with Anthony's van! Few minor issues with the van at the beginning (not mechanical), but great communication with Anthony to find solutions. Fuel consumption is high, but that's what you can expect with such campervan. There's a complete booklet to explain how everything works. Solar panel are very efficient, never had to plug the van in a camping in 4 weeks (even with the fridge "on" all time). Bed is big enough and comfy enough for a few weeks, lot of storage space. Would definitely recommend Anthony's van for a roadtrip in NZ!!

What a joy this tiny moving home was. My son and I tootled around the west coast and lingered at the lakes and when the sandflies descended we made use of the indoor kitchen in safety! It was comfortable, well appointed and clearly made with love. Would definitely hire again but for longer! All I would change is maybe taking a kayak along for the ride. Thanks Anthony for a great holiday that well remember forever.

Anthonys van was perfect for our short trip to Golden Bay! It is very well appointed and comes with all the equipment you should need. Handover with Ellie was great and we appreciated the pickup & dropoff from the airport. Would definitely rent this van again if in the Nelson area.

Anthony was friendly and accommodating to deal with, making our pick up and drop off seamless and easy. We hired the campervan for 29 days, traversing the South Island. The van was reliable, with no mechanical issues, however very heavy on fuel. Be mindful to factor this in when travelling around NZ as fuel prices are very high. The van came with some lovely extras, e.g. linen, towels, face cloths, washing detergents, chairs, table, a bottle of wine, crisps, and foodstuffs and more. Having the Skypack on the roof rack was great to store our suitcase. There was enough cupboard space for our personal belongings in the van. We did find that the glasses, spice bottles, and condiment bottles were rattling so we put dividers and plastic zip lock bags around them to minimise the noise and for further protection. Unfortunately for us, we found the mattress rather uncomfortable so we bought a foam mattress topper which made it more comfortable which also allowed for further airflow. All in all, we enjoyed our adventure in the South Island.

The most incredible van, wish we could have taken it home! Cant beat the personal touches, especially the spices and range of cooking equipment! Anthony was really friendly and easy to contact. Highly recommend :)

Could not have found a better way to explore the country! The van was just what we wanted and Anthony was very friendly and helpful in our adventure. Having a kitchen and a bed that a 190cm human can fit on was a treat. Anthony was responsive and easy to communicate with, and the van was built with extreme care and thoughtfulness. Would highly recommend!
