šŸŒæ The Nest ā€” Your Home Away from Home on Wheels šŸŒæ Ready to disconnect from the world and reconnect with natureā€”without sacrificing comfort? Meet The Nest: a fully self-contained, off-grid-ready van that brings cozy living to wild places. āœØ Why You'll Love It: If you're someone who loves starry skies, you'll feel right at home in The Nest. Designed for those who crave comfort and adventure in equal measure, this medium-roof, long wheelbase Ford Transit is more than a vanā€”itā€™s your portable cabin in the woods, on the coast, or wherever the road takes you. šŸ”‹ Off-Grid Ready (Up to 5 Days!) 100L fresh water tank (mounted under the van) Shower (cold water for rinsing off - this gets warm in warm weather!) 400W of solar panels powering: Dimmer lights Fridge/freezer USB charging ports 12-speed MaxxAir fan Water pump 1200W inverter (for laptops, cameras + moreā€”just ask!) šŸ›ļø Sleep Like a Dream No sweaty, cramped van-nights here. The Nest features: Deluxe foam double mattress Skylight above the bed (bug screen + blackout shade) Full blackout window covers MaxxAir fan for a steady, quiet breeze Sound-deadening + natural wool insulation for peace and comfort šŸš Smooth Ride with Personality The Nest isnā€™t brand newā€”but itā€™s road-tested and reliable, with a new gearbox and plenty of heart. Sheā€™s perfect for cruising the Coromandel hills at a laid-back pace, and once you hit the open road, the turbo kicks in and she hums like a dream. šŸ§³ Spacious, Smart Storage Bring your gearā€”thereā€™s room for it all: Storage for clothing, food, and essentials Space under the bed for short surfboards, fishing rods, dive gear & more šŸŒŒ The Vibe: Whether youā€™re parked by the sea or nestled deep in the forest, The Nest is where youā€™ll feel grounded, cozy, and free. Wake up with the sunrise above you, fall asleep to the sound of nature, and explore without limits.

    The van is lovely and was very well equipped with everything we needed for our 2 month trip. The headroom is a little low - around 150cm so not tall enough for most people to stand up. Had a few mechanical problems but hopefully Bella is able to get these fixed. Communication was quite poor during the trip with some electrical faults going unacknowledged for days. Also the drop off location was required to be Tairua even though the ad says Tauranga is an option. Overall a great experience and great way to see the country.

    We loved our holiday in The Nest! Bella has done an excellent job of doing up her van. It was cozy but spacious and had everything we needed while we were away. Bella was also a superstar with her communication. I would highly recommend booking The Nest - you are guaranteed to have an amazing time.

I am a passionate adventurer who likes to travel in style with the comforts of home. I spent months building my dream van that accommodates the freedom of off grid camping by having a 100L fresh water tank, ample solar power supply and more, with a deliciously comfortable and peaceful sanctuary wherever you may be. I have had the most amazing adventures in this van, and would like to offer an opportunity for you to indulge in the incredible scenery New Zealand has to offer in style.
