Explore New Zealand like a local - Matilda will make you feel right at home wherever you choose to park her! Matilda is an automatic 2011 Mazda Bongo with relatively low kms and runs to perfection. Matilda is our custom camper van that we've used for years to discover the South Island. She is small but mighty, designed to get you wherever you want to go easily and comfortably. Her compact size is perfect for navigating through towns and cities, finding parking and camp spots, and generally traveling without the hassles that naturally come with bigger campers. Despite her size, she is equipped with all the necessities you'll need for the perfect New Zealand adventure. With a brand new double bed that easily converts into a sitting/dining area and plenty of storage, Matilda is the perfect two-person van. The kitchen area has a sink with 25L clean water and 25L grey water tanks, as well as everything you'll need for cooking up a storm. A Yeti cooler will keep your food fresh and cold for days. You'll be set with camping chairs, a foldaway table, gas cooker, all kitchen utensils, cleaning products, fairy lights, and more. Nothing has brought us more joy than exploring this beautiful country in this van and we hope you'll feel the same! If you have any additional questions about Matilda please feel free to ask.

    We loved our 8 days in Matilda! We had no issues at all on our trip which took us to all around the stunning South Island. The van is very comfy to sleep in and the kitchen/utensils had everything we needed. She is a little slow up hills but it is easy enough to let others pass on those steep bits. Kali and Liam were super responsive and sent helpful suggestions ahead of our trip, which we used and loved. Thanks heaps guys!

    Enjoyed the Matilda, the beds were surprisingly comfy, and the van was equipped with all we needed to get stuck in. Kali and Liam were amazing hosts as well, super responsive, we would highly recommend the Matilda for your next campervan trip.

    This was a great experience! Matilda covered a lot of ground for us and was a champ from beginning to end. The inside layout is thoughtfully designed and the bed is super comfortable. Also, Kali is a super kind and responsive host. Absolutely recommend and would book again.

    We had the most amazing time travelling the South Island with Matilda! She got us everywhere we needed to go with zero hiccups., we are truly sad to let her go. Kali and Liam were awesome hosts who were very responsive and had everything ready to go for our pickup. We cannot recommend Matilda enough for a stress-free journey.

    I had the most wonderful time traveling around the South Island in Matilda. Shes adorable and fully kitted with everything you need for a comfortable, cozy stay. I loved her size easy to drive, super manageable, and genuinely fun to have as my travel companion. Communication with Kali and Liam was excellent from start to finish, and pickup was smooth and straightforward. No issues whatsoever. Highly recommend!

Hi! We're Kali and Liam, a couple from the US and the UK who have been living in Queenstown for the last 10 years. We bought our van during the pandemic in order to explore every nook and cranny of this beautiful country and we've loved every minute of it! We truly believe that the best way to see New Zealand is by camper van and our van has proven to provide everything necessary for the perfect, seamless road trip. As two full-time workers, we've found our beloved van not getting enough use out of us anymore and our goal with joining the Camplify community is to inspire others to get out and explore New Zealand in the most epic way possible!
