“Rory is available, book now to secure your next adventure” What an awesome way to see rural New Zealand. This modern 6 berth Recreational Vehicle is your home away from home. Rory boasts 2 spacious living/dining areas front and rear. Rory has a rear lounge with huge windows to enjoy the view while parked up at your favourite spot. This space converts to a cosy double bed. The second living area up front make it perfect for families wanting different living areas, this area also converts to another cosy double bed. The third bed is a generous queen sized luton with topper for a good nights sleep and is tucked away so the full space of the main floor is available for living. Rory has a full shower with doors and adjacent toilet and vanity and is fitted with an easy diesel heater which gives you instant heat should you need it. It has a galley kitchen with gas hob, solar panel, *tv with dvd player and *microwave (*needs to be connected via power cord at campsites). It has a huge awning that can shelter you from the sun while you sit in the camping chairs that are supplied. We may also be able to arrange a 'one way' rental with the pickup in Auckland and/or drop off in Christchurch if required. The cost of this will depend on airfares, ferry cost etc.

    Fantastic Motorhome & Great Hosts! We had an amazing experience renting this motorhome for our holiday to Taranaki. From the start, everything was smooth and easyRob and Nicola were fantastic, taking the time to explain everything we needed to know to operate the RV confidently. The motorhome itself was a pleasure to drive, handling beautifully on the road with plenty of power to tackle big hills with ease. Inside, it was incredibly spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. The beddings was super comfy, making for a great nights sleep, and there was plenty of storage space for all our gear. Everything worked perfectly, and it truly felt like a home on wheels. A great bonus was that there were even some activities for kids, which made the trip even more enjoyable for the whole family! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable motorhome adventure!

    Fantastic camper and so ideal for our family of four including two, under the age of three. Spacious and comfortable, we each enjoyed 4 good nights rest. The shower has enough space to move and pressure was good, much better than expected!! Windows boast for amazing views! Kitchen and cooking facilities are great, everything needed was included. Hot water is instant, having a gas stove and lights without a power connection was a huge advantage! The freedom to stop and rest up anywhere and travel in our own time was wonderful! Storage space was exceptional and driving very easy plus quick to pickup speed. Toilet and facilities are all clean, emptying was easy and also all very clean. Rory has been well taken care of and we can only hope future renters do the same, because one day we plan to take Rory out on another adventure!
