Dora was grand (i miss her) I travelled by myself and dont think i could have done it with another person. It was perfect for just me! However im no light packer and im 6ft tall so that definitely didnt help the situation. Noel was super chill and helpful with any qualms or off the cuff texts i sent. Would recommend for sure!

We loved Dora and would rent her again without hesitation. Everything was perfect. Really comfortable van, spacious for two and very nice to drive. Really well equipped and stylishly furnished.

Curious George was an absolute pleasure visually and to drive, from the moment we left and 14 days later returned was amazing. My wife and I are not big people so the bedding worked well for us at 70 kgs each I feel the van is most suitable to 1 person or 2 people not over 80 kgs max due to bed width with overhead cupboard , cooking is only avail via a portable gas cooker outside the van, this was fine for us we eat out for all our meals as that was our intent. The only negative I have is the very low front spoiler that is very easy to damage with front to kerb parking , this does require concentration throughout driving. Curious George you were fantastic for us and you look super smart on the road, Thanks George you made our journey very pleasant.

No problems occurred during the trip. The facilities are well equipped. I never felt inconvenienced. Most importantly, Mr. Noel was quick to respond and very helpful. I would rent from him again.

Dora The Explorer is a perfect vessel for a 2 person adventure. We spent 11 days/10 nights in the van traversing the South Island and found the van more than spacious and well equipped enough to do a few more days if we had time. The main benefit to Dora in my opinion is it's normal size as a vehicle. It was so easy to drive, park, maneuver, etc. The campgrounds in NZ are so well equipped (showers, toilets, cooking facilities, etc..).. there is no need for a full kitchen/bathroom in your campervan. Thank you Dora (and Noel!)

Such greats times with this camper. Very comfortable for two peoples. Everything you need is inside. All the explanations were very clear and usefull. Very good holidays with Dora !

Van had everything I needed, well set up. Great bonus of having the solar panel to run the fridge and charge your devices. Space was enough for myself and my toddler travelling with me. Great to have access to fridge and cutlery and if you rearrange some other bits and bobs you manage to have everything accessible from inside the van if the weather isn't good. Noel was very nice, great explanation of everything. He checked in with us after a few days if everything is okay, I did appreciate that. Would recommend van and book again if I am after something economical and not too big.

Dora was the perfect partner on our roadtrip through South Island. Pleasant to drive, cozy to live in. The biggest advantage is that even in bad weather you dont need to go outside the van to do any basic stuff, everything is nicely fit into the back seats area of the van which makes a ton of difference compared to other vans of same size that usually have everything in trunk. Dora was just big enough for the two of us to move inside, make bed, comfortably sit and eat, but still relatively small to drive and park even on a spots for normal cars. Equipped with fridge, solar panel with battery and inverter (normal, USB and 12V sockets), fresh/grey water tanks with sink and water pump faucet as well as ambient lighting inside and Carplay/Android auto system in the front. Also gas camping stove, kitchen utensils and camping furniture were provided. Shades on all windows and tinted glass for added privacy. We were really happy, enjoyed the van in the awesome NZ nature and would definitely do it again (maybe we will :)) Owner was fantastic to communicate with, everything was smooth and seamless, explained in detail. Flexible pick-up/drop-off times. Thank you Noel for making our Honeymoon the best! We are really happy weve decided for Dora.

We loved our stay with Dora. She is small and handy and got everything you need. We couldn't ask for a better communication with the owner. He even bought hot water bottles cause we were afraid to freeze. Thanks for that. Therefore we would totally recommend going on your vacation with Dora.
