Hi, I'm Bradley

Had so much fun with Bazza, communication with Brad was really easy and efficient.

We loved New Zealand, but booking Shazza with Bradley will always be a sour memory that we frankly are just putting behind us. But I want to share an honest review for others because we do not recommend booking with him. Shazza: THE GOOD: She survived us accidentally putting gas in the diesel engine!! Such a stupid mistake. But the Toyota engine is virtually indestructible, so we were lucky! But, that is where the good ends. THE BAD: the locks dont work appropriately, you have to crawl through the van to unlock the back door anytime you want to open the trunk, the AC does not work so you will have to drive with windows down if its warm which is very loud over the diesel engine, the passenger will be quite warm all the time as the engine is under the passenger seat. The engine is strong but the van is not powerful, so be prepared to have your foot all the way down on the gas anytime you're on a freeway and especially going up hills. Windshield wipers worked intermittently and the defrost did not work, which is challenging in the rain. No outdoor shower system and the awning poles do not tighten so that was unusable. Power outlet is right up against a box so it is virtually impossible to get a power adapter plugged in there if you need one. In general: if you are looking for a weekend banger, Shazza is totally fine. If you want a comfortable 2+ week longer road trip, book something else. Bradley: Honestly just a terrible host. -We initially sent a request and asked if a different city drop off was possible. He never even replied, just denied our booking request. I wish we had left it there and moved on. Instead, we send another request with a second note. He actually acknowledged us that time and accepted our booking. -Check in was about 5 min total as he absolutely rushed through everything. Couldnt be bothered to spend any more time than that explaining anything. -When we accidentally put gas into the diesel tank, we immediately had it towed to a local diesel mechanic to have the tank drained. The mechanic had us ready to start up Shazza again, totally confident she would run great. However, Bradley intervened and cancelled our whole trip, insisting that we do not let the mechanic start up Shazza and instead pay for her to be towed back to Auckland (+/- $600 NZD) so he could assess the van himself and do whatever work needed to be done. For the next 5 hours we sat stranded in this mechanics office. Camplify told us we would not be refunded our 2 week trip even though we were only 2 days in, and we would have to pay for the tow to Aukland and whatever expenses Bradley claimed there were. It was an awful situation. We finally resigned to this and booked ourselves an SUV at a local airport. Bradley however came to his senses (more likely he realized he was legally required to let us pursue the certified mechanics recommended repair plan, because when he called back he stated that he was on a recorded line). Once Bradleys fit was over (5 hours later) our mechanic started Shazza up and she ran fine the rest of the trip. Totally unnecessary and stressful drama added to that situation by Bradley. -When we dropped Shazza off, Bradley was friendly at checkout. We emptied the entire van in front of him. At the airport we got inflammatory emails about some coffee grounds spilled. (We spilled coffee on the kitchen counter but he has a basked bolted down so theres no way to move it to sweep under it. We clean everything we could but it was impossible to get under there). Long story short, avoid the drama and book with someone else.

Great experience!!! Everything we needed to make our stay in a remote area was provided for with our campervan hire. I dont usually like to sleep in a different bed but The Memphis has a very spacious and comfy bed and some great modern electronics. Very functional and made camping so much comfortable and eady for our holiday

We had the best time in Shazza. Did a 5 week trip around New Zealand and he did the job perfectly! Easy and efficient communication with Bradley. Would rent Shazza again!

Really nice vacation of one week in Bradleys campervan. Also another one is almost ready. All the necessary equipment was included and all the information about pick up and drop off was handled really nice. Thanks a lot bradley and all the best with that beast in your garage! Dont hurt yourself with that!

We rented the van for a month, and it soon became an integral part of our memory book. We traveled nearly 7000km around the whole country, and had no mechanical issue whatsoever. As a matter of fact, it was a pleasure to drive it around the winding mountain roads in the South Island, and a great shelter for when it was time to camp, regardless of the weather conditions. We particularly enjoyed the amount of storage and the comfort of a proper mattress, as opposed to a foldable one. As per Bradley, he was very helpful and communicative as we encountered some issues with the extra battery in the van. We had to replace it for a new one mid trip. And while it would still not appear sufficient to power the fridge and anything else at the same time, he was going to look into the root cause and Im certain this will have already been fixed by the time this review goes public. Great experience overall. We definitely recommend renting this van!

Cruisy was awesome! Bradley was super cool and friendly to communicate with and to rent from. His main concern was us enjoying NZ! The van ran super well, it was really clean, it had all the necessary items we needed for our 2 week rental. Bradley is also a mechanic so we felt super comfortable and safe driving it around because we knew this about him. We were so happy with our booking and will definitely book again when we come back. Thanks again, we had an epic time in Cruisy.

Shazza was perfect for our trip around the North island , she is equipped with everything we needed, comfy to sleep in and was super easy to set up. Bradley was great to communicate with and was very accomdating to our questions we had before and during our time in the campervan, we enjoyed our stay in Shazza and would highly recommend for anyone needing a campervan for the North!
