Why travelling New Zealand in a motorhome should be on your bucket list

A New Zealand road trip is the perfect way to explore such an exciting country. From amazing active volcanoes like White Island to dramatic alpine mountains in the South. Deep fiords of Milford and Doubtful Sound to gorgeous coasts and high waterfalls on the North Island, you'll never run out of new things to see. Whether you are journeying through landscapes that blend magnificent beaches, sprawling farmlands and geothermal wonders in the North Island or winding your way through the vineyards of Nelson, Marlborough or Waitaki Valley in the South Island, a motorhome is the perfect way to do it.

 

Freedom

With your own home-from-home on wheels you’ll find a vast array of campsites and holiday parks and have the freedom to stop where and when you want, for as long as you want. To get up close and personal with nature and the wonderful wildlife; to linger on that secluded beaches watching the sunrise or canoe by cathedral-like caves; to explore wonderful rainforests, experience Māori culture and enjoy the New Zealand life to the full.

Stop at wineries along the way

We’ve a selection of handpicked vineyards where you can do just that, they aren’t RV parks or camp grounds, there’s no electric hook-up – you really are in a vineyard, in splendid isolation.

Travel and accommodation rolled into one
