Bessie is our pride and joy and we have had many adventures in her. Bessie is a spacious 6 berth Motorhome with a luton overcab bed. We have found her very reliable and she has never let us down even when travelling through the remote parts of the South Island. Bessie has a satellite TV which has an inbuilt DVD player - perfect on a rainy day when you may not want to venture outside. Or if you prefer music switch on the in-house radio and relax to the vibes. The fridge freezer is powered by the solar system on the roof of the motorhome and has a capacity of 136L. Kitchen bench space aplenty in this motorhome which makes preparing your meals a breeze. There is a microwave for quick meal heat ups or use the four element gas hob. The Motorhome comes with a gas BBQ (no extra charge for the BBQ but gas refills are a pay-on-use item) so you may want to get back to nature and BBQ outside. The Motorhome is well equipped with pots, pans, cutlery, plates and kitchen utensils. Hot water for a shower takes approximately 5 minutes to heat up so when you are on the road freedom camping staying comfortable is not a problem. There is also a three bikes bike rack so that you can explore your surroundings (two electric bikes due to weight). Pick up from Hamilton Airport available on request ($50 fee applies). The Motorhome has the new "green certification" which allows you to freedom camp. Bessie also has two childseat anchors for forward facing childseats.

    Elaine & Steve did a great job in prepping the van and ensuring the handover and usage was smooth. Little questions were answered promptly via both text message and quick calls during the trip, which made for a relaxing getaway.

    Good communication by Elaine from the outset, she took me through a detailed handover process prior to pickup and assured me that she was available via phone to answer any questions that might arise during my hire. Motorhome was clean and tidy inside out and I had a trouble free trip as expected , Motorhome was easy to navigate, it travelled from A to B with no issues at all.Thank you Elaine.

    What a pleasant vehicle to drive. We travelled along the cost on some very windy roads and never felt unsafe. Everything you would need to know is in a folder, although we were told everything before we left it was a lot to remember so this was helpful. Comfortable beds. We slept 2 adults and 3 teenagers and had no issues. Stocked with all the kitchen equipment you would need. Very economical. Would definitely hire this vehicle again.
