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!)

    Had an incredible road trip in this lovely van - fully equipped with everything youd need, great size and easy to drive. Hosts very friendly and easy to contact :)

    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

    Arlo served my girlfriend and I well on our 2-week journey around the South Island. Although she can sometimes struggle up an incline, we had absolutely no issues/breakdowns. As a rookie to van life, some extra things to know about Arlo that werent super clear to us prior, that may helpful for you to know: theres no where to plug in the van (so forget about powered sites. Wouldnt have been necessary either way because the solar power was more than enough for what we needed), the fridge is relatively small (could pack ~3 days worth in there), and I wouldnt plan on using the toilet within much, if at all (especially during the night), but we didnt come across any campsite that didnt at least have a drop toilet anyway. Sleeping in Arlo was cosy and warm (definitely go for the mattress topper + recommend bringing 1-2 sets of fairy lights to add to coziness). Matt & Courtnay were also very responsive, clear in the handover & left some great touches/provisions in Arlo for our journey (thank you!). Overall, the experience was amazing, getting a first touch with van life, and immersing ourselves in the beauty of the South Island with Arlo sustaining us with everything we needed.

    Had an unbelievable time travelling in Arlo! Drives like dream, the space Matt has designed inside the van is comfortable and welcoming, all the cabinet and storage space is well thought out and finished with precision. I would recommend this reliable set of wheels to anyone who wants to see the beauty of NZ in a compact but comfortable van

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!
