Perfect caravan for travelling with family or friends, with full internal gas heating, ideal for ski trips or summer holidays. Fully self contained, with solar and external grey water tank. It is self contained certified for 5 people for a continuous three day period. Unique layout: - Permanent double bed at the front. - Sleeps two and saves you from having to make your bed each day. - Permanent triple bunks in the back. - Sleeps three and can be used for storage if you travel with fewer people. - Large, comfy sitting area and kitchen in the centre. - Two privacy room dividers: one can separate the bunk bed area, the other can separate the double bed at the front. Spacious inside with an organic, curved design, yet compact on the outside and easy to tow with a single axis. - Fridge can run on 12V, 230V, and LPG gas. - The internal heater runs on LPG gas. - Fresh water 50l. - Grey water tank 75l (portable, on wheels). We use and supply all Eco friendly and non toxic cleaning and toiletry products. We also supply organic condiments: coffee, a selection of teas, sugar, salt, pepper, olive oil, and coconut oil. Kitchen equipment - 3 burner gas stove top. - sink with tap. - Toaster, kettle, blender. - Plunger coffee maker, pots and pans, cutlery, cutting board. - Fridge with freezer. Bathroom - Toilet and shower. - Separate area with sink and large mirror, which can be used for hand washing and teeth brushing while another person is using the toilet. Camping equipment - 4 camping chairs - 1 camping table - large ground mat - Portable butan gas stove, which can be used outside the caravan for cooking. - Cloths line and pegs. - The caravan comes with an awning, which is easy to put up and provides additional living space. - Power cable and adapter to plug into a mains socket. Remember, you need to be at least 25 years of age, and as with most modern caravans in NZ, you need a 50mm towball to tow it (not a 1 7/8 inch), as the caravan has a 50mm stabiliser coupling with an anti-sway mechanism.

Hiring rules

  • As with most modern caravans in NZ, you need a 50mm towball to tow it (not a 1 7/8 inch), as the caravan has a 50mm stabiliser coupling with an antisway mechanism.
  • Sealed roads only. Going down unsealed roads, especially at high speeds and high tire pressure, can seriously damage the caravan as the bouncing up and down can create forces beyond the engineering specifications. This can create cracks in the chassis and hull of the caravan.
  • Experienced towers only.
  • No smoking inside the caravan.
  • Hirer must be 25 years of age or older.

    Wonderful experience, great communication from René , very prompt responses, excellent handover of van and how to use everything. Perfect for our family with the 3 bunk beds and double bed. Lots of space and had everything we needed. Lovely touches left for our experience such as organic tea, children's books, mink blankets etc. Would highly recommend. Thanks again for everything René and family.

    We had a great family holiday in Motueka & Hanmer Springs. Rene was very good with communication and the caravan was perfect for our family of 5. Cheers

    Just the perfect caravan for our family! Rene was fantastic with everything. We found the caravan last minute, and Rene was so kind and even delivered the van to us at no extra charge. He responded super fast and gave us so many useful tips. The caravan itself is just perfect for a family. We have rented a few different ones in the past, but none had such a great distribution and were as perfectly equipped with everything we needed. You can clearly tell that Rene and his family use the caravan themselvesits not just a rental. The kids loved it too! We just hope Renes caravan is always available when we need one. :)

    We had an amazing holiday in this caravan, it was clean, easy to use, very well set up and stocked with the essentials (pots, cups, tea/coffee, cleaning items, washing line, camping chairs + tables etc.). Rene was very thoughtful of all we might need travelling with a toddler and included a few age appropriate books - which my daughter loved. Would definitely hire this caravan again!
