Meet Buddy — your easygoing travel companion for the perfect New Zealand getaway. If you’re dreaming of a relaxed, no-fuss road trip, Buddy’s got everything you need to make it happen. He’s fully set up with a simple kitchen kit, including a butane cooker, chilly bin, cookware, and a French press so you can start each morning with proper coffee. Outdoor table and chairs are ready for lakeside lunches or sunset dinners. When it’s time to wind down, Buddy’s comfortable fixed double bed is already made up with fresh bedding and towels — no rearranging seats or assembling anything. Just crawl in and rest. Buddy is fully self-contained to the new green standard. On the road, this reliable 2012 Nissan Serena is smooth, economical, and easy to handle. A reversing camera, electric sliding doors, and a Bluetooth stereo for music and hands-free calls keep everything effortless, whether you’re navigating a car park or cruising through the countryside.

    We had a really good time exploring the South Island with Buddy. It is quite a fuel efficient van with decent storage underneath the bed. Rodd has been very accommodating as well and picked us up from the airport despite our very late flight. The van is certified self-contained which made it easy to get into any of the campgrounds.

Greetings! I'm Rodd. While I've explored various corners of the globe, I've come to the firm conclusion that nowhere quite compares to the breathtaking beauty of my homeland - Aotearoa New Zealand! I'm confident that you'll fall in love with this stunning country just as much as I have.
