Additional information

All kitchen equipment you will need is provided - gas cooktop, pot, pan, kettle, plates, bowls, cups, utensils & more. Even a French Press for your morning brew! All bedding is provided too. 2x pillows, 3x cushions, duvet & sheets. We also have a mattress topper you're welcome to use. The bed is awesome as is, but the additional topper makes for a luxuriously comfortable nights sleep. The topper is optional as it can be cumbersome to have stored in the van (it doesn't fold up very small unfortunately, but can be rolled up and stored on the front seats!)

    We had the most amazing time road tripping around New Zealand in this van! It truly felt like our little home on wheels. Super well equipped with everything we needed, easy to drive, and the perfect size for exploring both towns and more remote spots. The setup is really well thought out, practical, and cute at the same time. It made van life feel easy, even as first-timers. Communication was smooth from start to finish, with a clear handover and great tips before we left. Matt and Courtenay were friendly and responsive, making the whole experience stress-free. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better way to discover the country. Would 100% recommend for anyone wanting an unforgettable NZ road trip experience!

    Matt and Courtney were super responsive from the start of the booking to the end, handover was thorough - but we were quite disappointed that we were given the van with a chip in the windscreen (especially as we were paying a premium over the Christmas period), as mentioned by a previous review the van really struggles on an incline which made our journey much longer, the brakes have a significant lag, causing a delay when braking. The van gets affected by wind when driving. The van interior was very homely and lovely, we definitly recommend the topper and appreciated the complimentary coffee, unfortunately the van did have a lingering smell of body odour though. Overall if you are an experienced driver and you want a cosy, instagrammable van, this one is for you! But any first timers or inexperienced drivers I wouldnt recommend.

    Had a lovely month in Arlo doing a loop of the South Island. We went in April/May and so we were a little nervous about it being too cold, but the temperature in Arlo was perfect in the evenings and mornings :) Communication and checklist before we set off and once we returned was great: Courtney was a pleasure to deal with. Thanks for a lovely holiday!

    We couldnt have asked for a better lil house! Arlo is the perfect tiny house you would definitely need for your holidays. Great set up, comfy, cute and reliable. Matt & Courtenay are very helpful. Were very happy and we didnt want to finish the roadtrip at all. Highly recommended

Kia ora, were Matt and Courtenay. Long time explorers, now settled in Christchurch with our two unschooled kids. We're stoked to be renting out our vans, helping others explore beautiful NZ!
