Think fresh baked scones or pizza straight from the oven! If you’re a culinary whizz with a love of cooking — seeking something unique and filled with charm — then our wee gem is for you. Boasting a stylish retro set up and well-stocked pantry (over 30 spices), this van is set to transform your getaway holiday with amazing foodie experiences too! We built this camper to enjoy our two passions – food and traveling. It's perfect for romantic getaways and those wanting to travel in a reliable van bursting with character. The van comes very well-equipped and is well insulated. Enjoy a 110L under-beach fridge/freezer, oven, hob, running water (23L), a top-of-line ventilation fan and in-built heater for comfort. Standing height is 160cm. The gas-powered heater will keep you cozy warm and there's ample onboard power (240amps) with a 600w inverter to run appliances such as laptops, chargers etc. Recharging batteries is via 250w solar, mains power or while driving. As long as there is decent amount of sunshine, you should not have to use a powered site. The quality foam-based bed is comfortable and extends to 186cm long (120cm wide). Easy attachable foil window blinds serve as thermal barriers and privacy at night. Magnetic mozi screens attach to the exterior sliding windows. There is ample storage to conveniently access clothes/gear and comes with a lock box for passports/cash/phones etc. The roof rack also includes a large lockable storage box for suitcases/backpacks etc. Includes outdoor table and chairs, awning and telescopic ladder.

It was amazing! The van was a great base, really well equipped for everything I needed to explore. The kitchen was just perfect there was something genuinely magical about cooking outside in the fresh air, with the birds, the light, and the quiet around me. Those simple moments became some of the best memories of the trip. Anthony was so helpful with all the information about the van, and that made it instantly feel like a home on wheels. It was cosy and happy in a way that stayed with me the kind of place you look forward to returning to after a day out in the wilderness. Theres such a lovely feeling in travelling around the South Island, meeting new people, finding those quiet camp spots, and then coming home to your warm, comfortable base at the end of the day. It really made the whole holiday extra special. Thank you for a magical break on the South Island Id absolutely book this van again!

The van is amazing. It has all the amenities you could need & more than you can fathom. The bed sleeps fine and there is 2 of everything. The communication with Anthony & Elsie was good and the handover was efficiënt. The one thing I would like to mention is the gas mileage. The van drove, on average, 60L for 400km. This was not advertised (which I can understand)and gave us a bit of a mixed taste. The van is worth it very much, just be aware when planning

I loved every minute of my trip! Its a lovely van, with everything you need! It is really homey and was my little safe space on my trip. The kitchen and everything that comes with it was amazing. I slept really well and felt comfortable. It needs very much fuel though. So you really have to keep it in mind, also because on the west coast gas stations are rare! You need to plan ahead. Communication with Anthony was great. He is very responsive and friendly. His friend, who handed over the van, gave me all the information I needed and was really lovely as well. All in all it was a very unique experience and I loved it.

Overall, very nice trip with Anthony's van! Few minor issues with the van at the beginning (not mechanical), but great communication with Anthony to find solutions. Fuel consumption is high, but that's what you can expect with such campervan. There's a complete booklet to explain how everything works. Solar panel are very efficient, never had to plug the van in a camping in 4 weeks (even with the fridge "on" all time). Bed is big enough and comfy enough for a few weeks, lot of storage space. Would definitely recommend Anthony's van for a roadtrip in NZ!!

What a joy this tiny moving home was. My son and I tootled around the west coast and lingered at the lakes and when the sandflies descended we made use of the indoor kitchen in safety! It was comfortable, well appointed and clearly made with love. Would definitely hire again but for longer! All I would change is maybe taking a kayak along for the ride. Thanks Anthony for a great holiday that well remember forever.
