    In one word: amazing!! We loved Murphy. Murphy proceeded all our expectations, it is a reliable campervan with everything you need. There was enough space for the two of us to cook, sleep, chill and shower. It even came with a BBQ which was really nice on hot summer nights. It was perfect for the sometimes bad roads in NZ and Murphy had no problem going up or down hill. Murphy is also a good campervan to go off grid with. The power supply from the solar panels will last for about 20 hours, so perfect for a night at a free camp site. Murphy is beautiful and stole the show on all the camper sites . Also lots of storage space. The owner of Murphy, Sean, is a very kind and helpful man. He replied fast to our messages and was honesty interested in our trip. He did everything he could to make our trip te best it could be.

    Murphy was a hoot. Very spacious, clean and lots of fridge space. Easy to drive with backing camera and sensors. Bed was very comfortable. Murphy easily housed our 8ft and 9ft surf boards for our surf trip. Sean was super friendly, great at communication and will make sure you're all set with the right info and equipment. Highly recommend!!

    Sean was an absolute joy to deal with, a very nice guy! Easy going, helpful, and went through everything we needed to know so we could have a nice holiday in the campervan! The campervan it's self is basically brand new. Felt like deluxe camping! The van even has a shower in it which was incredible. Comfy bed, great cooking facilities and also a comfy seating area to chill. This is definitely the perfect camping to hire for an awesome trip- it really does have it all!!! Thanks Sean, we will definitely be back

I have had a varied career path .....( Royal Navy FAA, Leadership Consultant - to owning and running a ladies fashion brand!?) but the one thing I have in common with all of my occupations - is the love of travel! From my experience; Murphy is the ideal travel vehicle to see and enjoy New Zealand in the comfort of a modern campervan! With my engineering background - I can ensure you have a safe and hassle free trip so your fully focus is on exploring our wonderful country :-)
