    My partner and I spent 10 days in this van and we can say it was one of the best weeks of our life. Exploring South Island New Zealand by van is an unreal experience and you can stop and go at your own pace to take in all the beautiful scenery! Vikki and Ben were wonderful in communication and the van was the perfect size with great amenities and comfy mattress!

    What a fantastic trip we had in Vikki's campervan. It was wonderful to experience the freedom and not always know in the morning where you'll end up in the evening. The van was spacious, drove perfectly, and the bed was comfortable. And we were amazed how good the shower was. Vikki was quick in her responds and helpful. After more than four weeks, it was a bit painful to leave our little home on wheels.

    We had a great summer trip in this van! We spent just over 2 weeks travelling the South Island and were cosy, comfy and safe the whole time. There is enough space and amenities for two people and the van was easy to get around to all the places we wanted to go. Highly recommended for a short or extended trip around NZ!
