The ultimate camping and driving experience. She seats 4 but only sleeps 2. That is where the 2 awnings come to play for that outdoors experience. She has a gas grill with 2 burners. Running hot and cold water. Unfortunately due to new legislation in New Zealand she can no longer be classed as fully self contained. Solar power for lighting and to charge your phone and power the fridge, etc. As mentioned, also the ability to plug into mains power. Feel free to contact me for more information and photos.

Additional information

Although not fully self contained because I can no longer supply the portaloo (movable toilet) there are many clean and modern bathroom facilities throughout New Zealand which are easily accessible. Many people (including us Kiwis) use and help maintain these facilities whether just passing through, local volunteers or paid workers🌿


Hiring rules

  • Although not technically a rule as stated Herbie is not self contained. In saying that many free camps and camping grounds have clean functional facilities for everyone's use which it would be my pleasure to help you with.
  • No smoking in the van please.
  • 🌿Herbie doesn't like it🐬
  • Hirer must be 25 years of age or older.

    Small hiccup at the start of the trip with the van but easily resolved. Chris was always available and very helpful. Herbie is great fun to drive and a great way to explore the south island. Would definitely recommend!

    Herbie was a very reliable vehicle, despite its age, that got us to many detinations across the South Isalnd over two weeks. Comfortable bedding, being able to stand up inside, and everything you need for a great experience with no worries. We loved Herbie, and Chris was excellent and easy to communcate with. We would definately recommend Herbie for a relaible and affordable option to tour the south island.

    Herbie is a great vehicle and an uncomplicated owner Chris. It was a fabulous trip. If I come to New Zealand again, I would rent Herbie again. Simply the best: hot water from a boiler that gets its heat from the engine. Happy camping with Herbie
