Our kombi camper vans are all kitted out with everything you need for an awesome adventure. However, they are not self-contained and so you'll need to stop at camping spots with toilet facilities.
We require an hour of your time at pick-up to show you the ropes, to go over the individual quirks of your home away from home, and finally, to give you some advice on driving a retro van in New Zealand.
You then get to hit the road, pick up some groceries to start you off, take in the scenery along the way, and most of all - enjoy the adventure.
So just pack your clothes, along with your enthusiasm, to experience the best road trip ever!
THE DETAILS:
All our vans are manual gearboxes - there are no automatics in our fleet.
They all have a double bed - some have an additional bed over the top suitable for a child or small adult.
We have a USB charger on board all vans to make sure your phone is always charged for those Instagram worthy photos!
All cooking equipment, crockery, utensils and kitchen linen are provided. Bedding linen is available at an additional one-off charge. A full chattels list will be sent out to you with a booking form at time of your confirmed interest.
You love people but are comfortable with silence? Then Rhonda is the girl for you - she's a conversation starter and you'll not have a shortage of people wanting to stop and chat when you're with her.
You can rely on Rhonda for wherever your adventure might take you. Steadily cruising around the South Island up one coast and down the other, or through the centre to the Sounds and back again for an unforgettable adventure.
We have no doubt you'll fall head over heels for Rhonda!
If you're great at forging connections with people, then Pippi is the girl for you! She's a star attraction and you'll be making friends all over the place when you're hitting the road for new adventures.
Spontaneity is the perfect attribute for kombi road trips - you can change your whim at the next crossroads, and Pippi will go with the flow!
Pippi likes to wow the crowds with her colour, and cruises around the South Island, spreading her good-time purple vibes!
We think you'll love Pippi's purple style!
Nessa is a stand out van, that's for sure! You'll either be a lover or a hater of her colourful appearance.
If you're confident talking to strangers, then Nessa is the one for you. You'll not be a shrinking violet out there on the roads with her bold, bright vibes. In fact you'll be getting people begging you for a photo with your Nessa!
She'll help you choose the right way at crossroads to reach your desired destination, wherever in our stunning country that might be.
We think Nessa will charm the socks off you, and everyone else she meets on your adventure!
Nessa is currently off road being refurbished so isn't available for hire at this time
Stella is a quietly, soothing retro van inside with kingfisher blue vibes on the outside.
Like a kingfisher, are you attracted to all those water vibes? Then Stella is the girl for you. She'll be a ray of sunshine on your adventures around the South Island of New Zealand.
Steering you towards new roads, whether they lead you to energetic city excitement, or quintessentially iconic small kiwi towns, you're bound to have a stellar journey!
You create quite a bond with these retro vans within a very short time and we think you'll be quietly surprised by how attached you get to our Stella!

I was lucky enough to be the first 'trial' customer of Rhonda. What an awesome experience . . . four days of absolutely classic old school fun!!!!!
Warren & Lynda were the best at making sure I understood everything that goes with a genuine retro van and had fitted Rhonda out beautifully.
I would recommend this to anyone that wants to do things a little differently for a holiday . . . the saying 'it's about the journey not the destination' came to mind a lot when travelling.
It was just such fun!!
