Have you ever considered taking a road trip around New Zealand? A campervan is one of the best ways to explore NZ.
There are a variety of reasons to rent/buy a campervan in New Zealand and the epic scenery and stunning beauty of this country should be just one reason. You can relax under starry skies and park by a lake while you watch the sun set behind the mountains.
Lets face it, group tours are boring and you feel like a sheep being herded along by a Shepard. When you have a vehicle it gives you the option to go anywhere you want whenever you want! There is so much to see and do between the two islands and with relatively short driving distances you will never need to drive to far to be at your destination.
Will It Be Expensive?
A hard question to answer.. Well it depends on a number of factors like how many people are splitting the costs? Are you looking for a cheap camper or a fancy one with all of the trimmings? Is your plan to stay at DOC sites or park up in the middle of nowhere? When you share costs and weigh up the costs of accommodation and eating out, you have a reasonable price. An 8 bed dorm room in New Zealand's south island goes for $27 upwards all year round.
The Landscape
It is hard to explain to those who have not been to New Zealand the true magnitude of the beauty. Around every corner another spectacular site and across each ridge is another epic mountain pass. Images of campervans parked up by the lake with kayaks paddling in the distance has been a dream of mine for years. Even the driving is fun as the roads wind and turn through forests and across mountains.
Travel With Friends
When you and a friend chose to travel together in a campervan, you will have the best time of your lives (well, most of the time!). There wil be no more missed sunsets along the West Coast of New Zealand, and plenty of nights cuddled up under the stars in your cosy camper. There is something very intimate about living in your camper for a few weeks while traveling around.
To Rent or Buy A Campervan?
It all depends on the length of your stay. If you are only coming to New Zealand for one week, then renting a campervan is an ideal option, but if you are here on a three month holiday then having a campervan will make your experience far more enjoyable.
