I had a great time with this van and it provided me all I needed to stay at Department of Conservation campsites during my time in New Zealand. Gilson was flexible and communicated well. I would highly recommend this van to anyone.

We had such an amazing time. The van truly felt like our home on wheels and everything worked perfectly. She was incredibly reliable and handled everything beautifully throughout the trip. We also felt very well taken care of with all the thoughtful details: hot chocolate &coffee, fresh towels, and clean linen. Gilson was always available for any question or request. Were really grateful for the care, the comfort, and the warmth. We couldnt have asked for a better host or a better van. Highly recommended.

Basic but everything you need! Great for three people as you have two double beds :)

The van is really big and was great for me and my daughter on our trip on the South Island. Everything is very basic, but it has all you need to comfortable sleep in. The van drives like a dream. The kitchen utensils were a bit old and used, but again, you could easily get by.

We had 10 days on this amazing van, so cozy to live , easy and reliable to drive. Toyota Hiaces new model H300 as a Campervan is definitely a game changer. Gilson is kind and helpful for everything !

We can recommend Gilson 100%. We were extremely happy with the NOVA van. The van was equipped with everything we needed. Everything worked perfectly. Communication with Gilson was also very quick and straightforward. We would gladly use them again!

The van was basic but comfortable enough for a week. Everything functioned well. Gilson was very easy to communicate with and organize drop of/pick up. Despite the listing details, there is linen provided. Everything was clean. Please be aware their is no shower. Would love to see a foldable table added for a bit more surface area to cook with outside. Thanks Gilson!
