    Epic trip in black beauty! Van handled beautifully and was so well specced for long drives travelling around South Island. We slept soundly every night, with comfortable mattress, fresh linens and the van kept to good temp (other people on campsite said they got very cold). The built in WiFi was also a huge advantage where a lot of campsites had patchy signal. Paul and Carla added thoughtful touches such as flip flops and robes that really came in handy. Overall, cant recommend booking enough we are already thinking about our booking again!!

    Our experience in hiring Black Beauty was entirely positive from start to finish. Paul was professional and prompt in all his communications, and helpful. He delivered the van to us and took care to ensure that we understood how everything worked. While we were travelling he responded quickly to our occassional queries providing the information required. The van was spotless and performed well throughout our 1,000km+ journey which included many steep gradients. The electronic extendable kitchen unit and its equipment is very good. The only drawback for us, personally, is that as our week went on we would have liked more headroom. That said, it was a conscious decision to hire and we can unhesitatingly recommend Black Beauty to anyone for whom that is not a concern. Thank you Paul. Ray & Sue - December '25.

    We had an absolutely incredible time on our 3.5week South Island road-trip with Black Beauty! The van is super well-equipped, easy to drive, tidy and comfortable. It had a great setup and everything you could possibly need, and more! Paul was super friendly and very prompt and helpful! I would absolutely recommend hiring Black Beauty for your NZ holiday and would definitely re-book again! Five stars!

    This was by far the best choice of Van around this price range. The most comfortable mattress that Ive slept on in a campervan, and a great kitchen out the back! Everything was as described and we found it incredibly comfortable to drive and live in for our trip.

    The van is perfect for 2 people. Its designed in such a way that it will make the hirers van life convenient and easier. After a lot of research, I found this van to be our companion and it fulfilled its role for 1800km through winding roads, a bit of gravel roads, early morning and late nights. It has so many useful features that provides convenience such as the leather heated seats for those cold weathers, the parking sensors and reverse camera to park stress free, the premium built kitchen and utensils to cook your perfect meal, the ventiliations from the sunroof and back windows, the comfortable mattress and pillow to keep you sleeping sound, the amplified speakers to play your road trip playlist, the spacious refrigerators to keep your food fresh, the battery to keep your electronics charged to the full without any stress, and last but not the least the amazing and prompt support from Paul the owner whenever we had any questions. I will be back again and next time, we will take it to the north island.

I have been a traveler myself a couple of years ago. Now, I am married and a father of two. As a family, we love adventures and outdoors, and we have spent a lot of time exploring the south island in this beautiful van.
