Matilda is a white 2009 Nissan Civilian. It’s a super easy to drive vehicle that takes 16l petrol 100km meaning that its incredibly economical so you won’t be emptying you’re wallet on each refuel. It costs about $NZD250 to fuel up which is cheaper than a night’s accommodation at an Airbnb. Better yet, DRIVER LICENSE car requirements only. Matilda has been renovated in New Zealand (imported from Japan). Marble benchtop with gas hot water and gas oven. Solar onboard battery to power the fridge and freezer. Toilet and shower with decent pressure for a well deserved rinse! The seating area is spacious so you’re not banging elbows with each other and can eat a meal in peace. This motorhome comfortable sleeps up to 2 adults, or 2 adults and one child. Let’s take a quick review on what you’ll be provided with: - Aircon - Bluetooth radio - Reversing Camera - Fridge/Freezer - Large kitchen sink , gas oven and hobs - 1000w inverter - Rapid charger - Fresh, running water (90l) - Fully equipped kitchen (gas cooker, pot, pan, plates, bowels, knives, forks, coffee/tea mugs, glasses) - Dishwasher liquid, sponge and tea towel - Grey water tanks - Water pump - Toliet & Shower - Outdoor chairs & table - Smart TV (Wifi optional extra - please request in your booking notes as this is an extra cost). - Portacot / High Chair / Car Seat available to hire at additional cost.

    We had a circa 5week trip in Matilda around N+S islands with our 1YO. We found the van a little smaller than the photos suggest and ended up only sleeping in it 10 nights and got airbnbs for the rest of the trip. After collection we realised there were some dirty areas (mouldy fridge and kitchenware and previous users' clothes) which was unfortunate. The side door (main door into the van) was broken so we had to open the van from the driver door which was a pain. The van had lots of storage space for clothes etc. (8 drawers) but was largely taken up with the (over generously) provided linen and towels and spare curtains! We struggled to open and close the installed curtains. The kitchen space was well laid out and functioned well when we used it on occasion. We didn't try the shower but the space seemed fine. The fridge was a great size and there was good storage for food items. We didn't use the table but it seemed like comfortable place to eat. Unfortunately when the table is down you can't access the under-seat drawers so we didn't use them. To drive, the van was comfortable for us and the carseat was great. It was easy to manoeuvre if a little slow! The bed was comfy too, note it is probably limited to people our height (180cm) and below for sleeping across-ways , or shorter if sleeping long-ways. On return of the van Tom requested we had cleaned the outside of the van, a request which we haven't been able to find in the camplify return rules. Useful to communicate this clearly with future renters to avoid any disputes. We also weren't aware of the Road User Charges (around $380 @ 9cent/km) until we arrived for the vehicle pick-up which felt like a hidden cost. Finally, a user manual would be useful as there's a lot to remember with how to operate different parts of the van.

    We had an amazing holiday in this van. Tom had great knowledge and tips for us before we left and was very helpful. Loved how easy it was to drive and travel around and kept us nice and cosy on a rainy night. Would definitely recommend for a safe and wonderful trip!

Kia Ora! Im born and raised here in Aotearoa and love exploring this beautiful country with my little family. Meeting travellers from all over the world is one of the best parts of hosting theres something special about helping people experience New Zealand in a way that feels relaxed, comfortable, and a bit off the beaten track. Im also fluent in German. Before hosting on Camplify, I owned a car dealership, so vehicles have always been a genuine passion of mine. That background means every camper whether its one Ive custom-built or one Ive carefully sourced gets thorough, hands-on attention. From oil changes and air-con checks to brakes, lights, and all the small details that matter on the road, I make sure each vehicle is safe, reliable, and ready for adventure. I offer a range of motorhomes and buses to suit different budgets and styles of travel, from simple and practical to spacious and premium. No matter which one you choose, you can expect comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches to help you explore New Zealand with ease. If you need something extra for your trip, feel free to ask Im often able to arrange more than guests expect. Youre welcome to browse the reviews to see the level of care that goes into every booking. Im also a busy dad to two young girls, but I always do my best to respond quickly and make the process smooth and stress-free. Id love to help make your New Zealand adventure unforgettable!
