Great holiday, loved the campervan, many thanks for the tips on a route for our short trip.

Thanks trouble free all the way, enjoyed our first campervan experience very much. 10 days far too short but well worth the journey to get here.

Michael and Jenny, Tasmania (Auto Deluxe)

We've had a fabulous 3 weeks, so much to see we didn't even get North of Christchurch! The van was great...just cruised up some of the biggest mountains imaginable. Thanks again.

Jim and Virginia, Canada (Auto Deluxe)

As newcomers to internet holidays, we arrived with a few nerves, but these were quickly dispelled with your warm and professional welcome. Thankyou for making our holiday of a life time a reality.

Neil & Tracey Australia (Auto Deluxe)

Great holiday, what a wonderful place, we both so needed to wind down. Loved our campervan, so easy to just set up. Thanks for squeezing us in for the extra days at the last minute.

Paul & Sattie, UK (Hi-Top)

After spending a few days in the North Island, we were very pleased to pick up the campervan in Christchurch and loved the freedom it gave us. All our worries were un-warrented, our hi-top was lovely and all we needed .

Nick and Ron Spain (Hi-Top)

Dear Michael and Kay "We are now back in not so sunny spain, in fact it´s very much like Chritchurch was on the day we left!! I just wanted to say we had THE most amazing time on South Island, a truly memorable trip all round, Malaysia was pretty good too, but our time in N.Z. was just fab! Thank you so much for being so helpful and welcoming, sadly Michael we never did get to the Wunderbar in Lyttleton, all the more reason for a return visit which we will be doing in 2009, if were spared!!!! We will certainly recommend you further, well worth a visit, so till next time muchas gracias with best wishes" from Nick and Ron

Hi Kay and Mike,
Thought I'd drop you a quick mail just to say I'm now back in the UK (boo) and to say thanks once again. I had an amazing holiday, and meeting such warm friendly people as yourselves are as much a part of the memories as the stunning views and once in a lifetime experiences.
Hope to see you again before not too long (dependent on bank account!!!) Take care

It made a change to be treated so personally right from pre-booking to our airport drop off, the campervan was way above our expectations, and made all our friends envious in their basic campers.(Especially when they were under siege from sand flies!!) We will be returning to New Zealand, and wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you so much. "
