Book with confidence — Plans change and we understand! Since this RV has a flexible cancellation policy, you've got some breathing room if your trip needs a tweak. You can find all the details in the cancellations section below.

Find Your Happy Pace! Happy Pace Hiace started life as a commercial rental, but we've added some home-away-from-home comforts. Thicker seat squabs, a comfy memory foam mattress topper and thermal-backed curtains have transformed Happy Pace Hiace into a cosy escape space for two. The roll-out awning expands your living space, providing a shady spot to relax (or shelter from rain!), and there's a portable bbq to increase your cooking options. We provide a free airport transfer service, or we can provide safe off-street parking for your own vehicle if necessary. Ample storage areas contain all the equipment and utensils that we've found are handy to have on a campervan trip. A double e-bike carrier may be available upon request, or we can provide supplementary plates for your own carrier. Setting up the bed is a breeze and literally takes less than a minute. Simply drop down the bed base and roll out the combined memory foam topper, fitted sheet, and duvet; throw your pillows on and you're done! Boasting solar and a larger house battery than standard for these vans, Happy Pace Hiace is able to park up off-grid with generally no need to plug in over summer. A microwave, heater, toaster, and electric jug are provided for the colder months when shore power is required. Happy Pace Hiace has a 2.8 litre diesel engine, automatic transmission, cruise control and a reversing camera to ensure driving and manoeuvring is as easy as possible. We've found that we don't have to travel very far in this van to find our "happy pace" - the stress of daily life seems to disappear, and life slows down. Book our van to find Your Happy Pace too!

However, there are still plenty of campsites where facilities are provided - download "Rankers" or "Campermate" apps to find the best spots.

    Awesome van. Very easy to drive and park. Has all the amenities to be a home away from home. Very clean and tidy. Pauline was a great host too, great communication, perfect van presentation and induction on using van features. Highly recommended

We love getting away in our van as often as we can - mostly short trips around the "Top of the South". We enjoy finding the out-of-the-way spots and exploring NZ's amazing scenery.
