    Terrific van all around. We loved our five weeks with Marvin. Super functional, very well equipped and very clean, pretty much self-sufficient energy-wise with three PV solar panels on the roof, drives very nicely, has everything it needs and Gareth is friendly and super responsive and helpful for minor things that came up here and there. We truly hope to rent Marvin again one day.

    Marvin was the perfect setup for our whnau of 3. Beautifully maintained, with great beds to rest in after long, activity filled days. Gareth was very thorough with all the information we needed for a stress free journey. Ka nui te mihi | thank you so much Gareth.

    The van had everything we needed. It was no trouble to drive and easily cruised at 90 km/h on the open road.

    Lovely van, good layout, lots of storage, although we did appreciate taking our stepstool, as some of us are on the short side. Well appointed with very comfortable bed. Gareth gave a good handover & was very responsive when we had a problem (ours, not the van's). Thoroughly recommend
