    As a family of 5, we had a perfect 36 days holiday in Holly and Simons motorhome! We had plenty of living and space. They provided us with beach and shower towels, outdoor table and chairs, a BBQ, kids toys and toiletery essentials. They even greeted us with a bottle of wine and chocolate! The motorhome itself was comfy and well maintained, and Holly quickly and kindly helped us out when a mechanical trouble happened on the road. We appreciated her help. I strongly recommend this hire. We enjoyed both islands greatly in part because of Holly, Simon and their great Sol Escape van!

    We had an epic tour of the north island of NZ in comfort. Lots of great sights and freedom camps suitable to this van along our travels. It was easy to adjust the table and seating to a bed in the evenings for our little one. The van highlight for our family was parking up in a great spot and soaking in the view from the bed out the large back window - was a perfect spot to lounge and stare out the window, read a book and relax.

    We had an amazing time in Holly's and Simon's camper van. The communication & the pick-up at Auckland airport went very smoothly. Simon and Holly are very nice people and really went the extra mile :) The camper itself is a well equipped big camper, which is well maintained and offered lots of space to store our things. It was also easy to drive it. The bed was very comfy and much more comfortable than most hotel beds in our opinion. With a big water tank we did not have to refill it 2-3x through our 3-week holiday. Also nice was the solar panel, with which we did not have to use any plugged sites, while being able to always charging our phoney, tablets and even laptops. We can highly recommend to rent this camper van of Holly and Simon and in combination with using the DOC sites and freedom camping (Camper Mate), you will have an exceptional holiday in New Zealand.

    We were privileged to have Sol for just under two months and it gave us a fantastic opportunity to see both North and South Islands of New Zealand. Great and relaxing to drive with extras provided by Holly and Simon just made it so easy to use wherever we went. We did over 5000km in Sol and never missed a beat. Great holiday and fantastic experience thank you

    We (Bart, Ingrid and little baby Jolie from the Netherlands) had a perfect 3 month holiday thanks to Simon and Holly. They were really a key factor to our trip due to their great hospitality and unbelievable kindness. When we arrived (a day before the cyclone Gabrielle), they offered us to come earlier to Hamilton for pickup and to stay on their property to shelter during the storm. We could even join dinner during those days and make use of their facilities. Regarding the campervan, it is very neat and spacious and we didn't have any complaints about it. When we had questions, Simon was always there to help us out and provide us with answers. I could go on for a while with all the positive experiences we had with Simon and Holly and their campervan, but I think the main point is clear, they are just really nice, trustworthy people with a perfect campervan.
