    Communication before and during the hire was excellent. The van is old with 350+ klms on it and hence a bit tired and slow on hills but it did run perfectly with no serious issues on our 16 day journey around the South Island. The photos make the van look better than it actually is but the bed was comfortable and it meet our needs. The porta pottie is stored in the top box on the roof and is next to useless as it was difficult to access. We didnt end up using it and we doubt anyone has for this reason. The table and chairs were also stored up there but we ended up putting them inside the van instead to make them more assessable. Little things like making sure the 20litre water container was full when we picked up the van, as well as providing 2 full gas canisters at the start (rather than 2 nearly empty ones) are just simple things that would make for a better experience. At the end of the day the daily hire is much less than you will pay from the established hire companies but you do get what you pay for. However the van was relatively reliable with only a small electrical fault with the auxiliary battery which we were able to easily rectify. Tanya and Tim were extremely accommodating by picking us up and dropping us back to the airport which we greatly appreciated.

    We had the best time travelling around the South Island in the Yorkie Explorer on our two-week campervanning trip! Tanya and her husband Tim made sure we had a fantastic time, picking us up from the airport and doing a handover of the van. The van was stocked with all the essentials (cookware, bedding, camping equipment etc.) and was very easy to use throughout. The bed was also super comfortable! As someone who is 6'2", sleeping was perfectly fine. The van itself was great. It was very easy to set everything up each night and to drive around the South Island. The van performed well on the roads, and was even able to do the steep drive down to and up from Milford Sound (albeit at a slower pace up the hills). We would definitely recommend the Yorkie Explorer for any travellers looking for a smaller van which still has all the amenities and essentials needed for a great campervanning trip. Thank you Tanya and Tim!

    We had a fantastic holiday and the van let us see an amazing and unique side to the South Island of New Zealand. Whether it was waking up near a beach or in a campsite surrounded by curious Bumble Bees gently flying around the van in the morning sun. A very memorable holiday was made possible through this van.

Hiya, I'm a mum of 3, 1 daughter and 2 Yorkies. Not 100% sure who needs looking after more. ;) I'm from Sheffield, UK, and have been living in NZ for just over 10 years. It's a beautiful country, and there's always something wonderful to see. My husband built this van, which he converted to a campervan. He has been in the New Zealand tourism industry for over 17 years and has built many JUCY rental campers and has great knowledge of what to see in New Zealand over those years! He knows what tourists want in a campervan and knows what to check for! My husband does quality control checks for mechanical parts, and domestic items are done before every hire. My husband is very handy with the tools & knowledge to ensure you have a great holiday in New Zealand! The Yorkie will take you there!
