    We had an amazing first motorhome experience! Peter made the entire process so easy; he is super friendly and always replied to our messages almost instantly. We took the van off-grid for five days and it handled it like a dreamthe new deep cycle battery meant we never had to worry about power. The motorhome was clean, easy to drive, and the beds were surprisingly comfortable for the whole family. Peter really goes the extra mile with thoughtful touches and useful accessories. We cant recommend him enough!

Hi, Im Peter a campervan enthusiast, detail-driven Digital Project Manager, and proud owner of Seven Eleven and Hey Buddy. After years of exploring New Zealands hidden gems, I fell in love with the freedom and simplicity of life on the road. Seven Eleven is my compact, modern self-contained van for couples who love freedom camping and off-grid living. Hey Buddy is a spacious 6-berth KEA Horizon motorhome, ideal for families or couples who enjoy a touch of luxury on the open road. Im passionate about smart design, comfort, and reliability making sure every detail in my vans is practical, safe, and ready for adventure. Outside of work, I love road trips with my family, photography, and discovering quiet DOC campsites under the stars. My goal is to make sure every guest enjoys a smooth, comfortable, and memorable experience all you need to bring is your sense of adventure.
