Explore New Zealand in comfort with Scout, our fully self-contained campervan. Scout is conveniently based on a farm around 15 minutes’ drive from Christchurch airport. From there you can get used to driving on the country roads before heading into Christchurch city, or the West Coast via Arthur’s Pass. The location is also easy access to go north or south while avoiding the Christchurch city centre. Perfect for long-haul adventures, this van is certified self-contained, with its own compact bathroom with shower, basin and toilet. This allows you to stay off-grid and take advantage of the countless freedom and DOC (Department of Conservation) campsites for very little or no cost. The van includes a super comfy king-size bed, a compact kitchenette with a two-burner gas stove, sink and a 12V fridge. Ample storage keeps your gear organised, and interior LED lighting creates a cozy atmosphere. A solar panel system powers your essentials, and a portable toilet and fresh/grey water tanks meet all self-containment requirements. Scout has a newly rebuilt engine and all new parts as well as being regularly serviced. The van is manual but easy to drive. It has power steering, and being diesel, has excellent fuel efficiency. It comes fully equipped with bedding, cooking utensils, camping chairs, and a fold-out table – just pack your clothes and hit the road! Ideal for solo travellers, couples, or anyone looking to embrace van life in New Zealand. Available now in Christchurch for pickup.

    Fantastic van for the most beautiful holiday! The van is spacious, the bed is comfortable, and its packed with all you need and more. It is a 20 year old van, so do keep that in mind, but Scout never let us down! The only issue was a noise coming from the belt, but this was barely a problem and Kirsten was upfront about this. Speaking of Kirsten, she is super responsive, extremely kind, and very informative. Scout is great value and Id definitely recommend.

    Scout is such a great campervan, you can almost sense that she wants to go on another adventure! We travelled to the north of the South Island every little place till we ran out of road. The van handled all the road conditions well - gravel roads, windy roads, hilly roads and of course on the highways. The best thing - the hot water!! At the end of a busy day hiking and travelling, and the hot water was ready, no waiting. We'll be back and will hire Scout again. Kirsten and Rachel were so friendly and helpful.
