  We have just spent the last 2 weeks cruising around the South Island in Black Beauty and the van honestly made the trip. Paul's communication is nothing short of phenomenal and gave us some great tips for hikes / areas around South Island we hadn't been to before. I would highly recommend Black Beauty to anyone wanting a good night sleep and an easy automatic van to park and drive. Thanks again Paul!

  Would definitely recommend the Black Beauty to anyone! It was absolutely phenomenal- its a perfect van with running sink, gas stove, great amenities and a really comfortable bed. Very high tech. Owners were great to deal with and super helpful too. This is the perfect van if you dont want to rent an oversized motor home but want the maximum facilities and comforts.

  I had an excellent experience hiring Black Beauty and cant speak highly enough of Paul and the care hes put into this van. From the start, it was clear how much passion and craftsmanship has gone into the build. The thoughtful touches really stood out. Toiletries, a hanging toiletry bag, robes and thongs for campground showers were all provided, which made day-to-day travel so easy. The van came with power banks, a simple-to-use inverter, a large fridge, and the cabana chairs were a real highlight. People at caravan parks were genuinely surprised they were included. The heart of the van, the head unit, had everything I needed. Apple CarPlay, Wi-Fi, and a great setup overall. The Wi-Fi ran on the One network, which was ideal since I had a Spark SIM. It meant I had access to all the major networks if needed. Paul was fantastic to deal with, always happy to answer questions and share helpful links for transport bookings and planning. Theres also a TV in the rear of the van. I didnt use it as I had my iPad, but it was good to know it was there. The multiple sunroofs made a huge difference, giving great light and airflow throughout my 1,600 km trip around the South Island. Cruise control was appreciated too, even if the mountainous roads meant it wasnt always usable. Privacy was excellent thanks to the curtains and front window coverings. The Thule roof box easily fit my full-size luggage along with anything I didnt need day to day. The kitchen setup was spot on. Everything was provided, from spray oil and pans to washing-up gear, and emptying the grey water was straightforward. Climate control was also solid. The air conditioning worked perfectly during 38-degree heat in Christchurch, and the heater and heated seats were very welcome in the colder alpine regions. The bedding was extremely comfortable, so much so that I actually noted down the brands. Paul also offered multiple bedding options, which I really appreciated. Overall, Black Beauty is incredibly well thought out, comfortable, and practical, and Paul was a pleasure to deal with. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this van to anyone exploring New Zealand.

  Thanks for making our trip around the South Island of NZ, so wholesome! We had a 9 day trip around the South Island and Black Beauty had absolutely everything we needed and more. Paul and Carla were super friendly, responsive and detailed oriented which made the experience even better. Thanks for that guys, you have been awesome!
