    Awesome experience hiring Papa Smurf! Our small family had a great trip. The van was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We were freedom camping, so the solar panels and battery setup were perfect for charging our devices. It was hot while we were there so the fridge was a big bonus. Hannes was easy going and great to deal with. The handover was clear and straightforward, and he explained everything really well. Would definitely recommend and would happily hire again!

    Hannes was incredibly helpful and supportive of our needs. Papa Smurf was an awesome van and we enjoyed lots of Father and sons time very comfortably inside as the weather unfortunately was terrible. Highly recommend Hannes and Papa Smurf!! Thank you so much Hannes
