Tess has the new latest "Green" self containment certificate, permitting you to Freedom Camp. Ample USB ports, Apple Play, DVD Player, Bluetooth and a TV means you can enjoy and connect to your desired devices, whether driving or parked up. A high storage shelf in the garage allows room to store fishing rods or ski's. If raining you can access the garage from inside the van. All windows have fly screens and block out blinds.

A notebook covering all features and concerns, personalized to Tess, is included in the van.

Chin fang 5.0This was my first trip to New Zealand, and I was so lucky to rent a Tess motorhome from Ngaere! The spacious living room, comfortable double bed, bathroom, kitchen, and every other detail were fantastic. Ngaere provided everything we needed, and she was always there to help when I asked, which made me feel very safe. I'm so grateful to her for giving me the opportunity to explore New Zealand in the Tess.
Hillary 5.0We had the absolute best holiday in Tess. She was comfortable, warm and clean, she was our home away from home for eight days. Tess was easy to drive and fully equipped for our little adventure. Ngaere was absolutely brilliant with fantastic communication and she also gave great holiday hotspot for ideas, as this was our first time exploring the top of the south. We had an absolute blast, making it a trip to remember for a lifetime. Thanks Ngaere
Damien 4.5S U P E R W A R M ! What a great experience we had as first time campervaners. This van is super warm, nice large bed that lowers down. Spacious bathroom and very peppy engine, hills etc no problem.
Les 5.0Tess is a wonderful motorhome! Everything worked as Ngaere explained and made our holiday perfect. We were able to go 'offgrid' for the whole week of our travels, allowing us opportunities to visit more distant parts of NZ. It was easy to drive and very comfortable! Ngaere's communication both before and during our visit was exceptional. Highly recommended!!!
Bryn 4.8We had 18 glorious nights with Tess while we travelled a lot of the South Island. Tess is well equipped with everything we needed & lovely Ngaere was extremely easy going, informative & always there to take our calls. From pickup to drop off was all effortless & would not hesitate to recommend a hire off Ngaere.. we would hire Tess again.
