Motor Homes and Campervans

Motorhomes or campervans are the ultimate accommodation choice for flexibility when driving around New Zealand. It’s literally your home from home on the road and gives you the freedom to choose a different path every day. While you are roaming the country you will find countless beautiful and remote places to park up.

The best options for overnight stays are the numerous holiday parks and camp grounds dotted around the country. These have electrical connections and facilities for dumping waste. Outside of the busiest tourist areas in the peak holiday times of Christmas and New Year it usually possible to turn up without booking first. If you want peace of mind we can give you suggestions on the best places to stay and organise the bookings for you. Responsible freedom camping around New Zealand is also possible but it’s wise to check with us first about where it is permitted.


We can set you up with a range of different campervans depending on how much space you need and how much you want to pay. All the campervans that we book for clients are rented through reputable operators and are modern, clean and well maintained. They also come certified self-contained, which means they have toilets and showers that can be used at freedom camping sites. They have fully equipped kitchens with a gas stove, fridge/freezer, hot and cold pressurized water and heating.

Freedom Camping

Responsible freedom camping is camping in a tent, campervan or motor vehicle on public land, on a site with minimal or no facilities, such as toilets or showers. There are over 500 responsible freedom camping locations in New Zealand, each with different rules and regulations, and we can help direct you to these if you are interested. While they are free of charge, they are not free of responsibility and there are some basic rules that all responsible freedom campers must follow: 
1. Camping on private property is not permitted.
2. Visitors must have their own toilets, fresh water and waste systems, unless provided by the campsite.
3. Leaving behind litter and human waste is strictly prohibited at any location.
4. Emptying of on-board toilets is only permissible at legal Dump Stations, generally found in holiday parks. 
Remember that camping in prohibited areas and the illegal dumping of waste can result in hefty fines.
