    We had an amazing 8 nights with Earnie! The van has an efficient set up with everything you need. The solar kept our devices charged and the fridge going for our whole journey, even with a couple of rainy days. We stayed at a combination of freedom camping spots, doc sites and serviced campgrounds around Fiordland and the West Coast. The bed is comfy with good quality (warm!) duvet and pillows. Window covers kept it nice and dark for sleep ins, too. Jonos communication was great, pick up and drop off was very easy. Theyre located very close to QT airport. We are already looking forward to our next Van adventure and highly recommend Earnie!

Adventure is out there. All you've to do is walk out your front door. We love exploring new places, meeting new people, and immersing ourselves in new cultures. We have currently been living in Aotearoa for 3 years, and barely feel we have scratched the surface of what this land has to offer. So many hidden gems, and amazing places off the beaten track, so if you want any help in planning your perfect trip in NZ, feel free to reach out to tap into our network of friends for some South Island locals knowledge, that you just can't find on google.
