I’m so glad we rented our campervan through Piwiwiwi Campervan Rentals.
The van was well designed with bug screens on the windows. The bed was very comfortable and we loved that it was easy to convert the bed into a seating area. The van was tall enough that my 6’6” tall husband could stand up in it. The company was very responsive. Best of all, everything was in top notch working condition and we had no issues.

We had an amazing time with our van from Piwiwiwi, Nick was super helpful with everything 😊 Pick up from the airport, explaining the Van and return all went smoothly.
The Van was very reliable and well designed, perfect to explore the south Island at our own pace. Highly recommend! We would definitely rent with Piwiwiwi again.

We spent about 3 weeks with one of Piwiwiwi's campervans, and we had an absolute GREAT time!
Perfect self-contained campervan, we had everything we needed and more, we higly recommend! Nick's service is also perfect, easy reachable if we had any questions! Great personal service, perfect campervan, so we give PiwiWiwi 10/10!!

We had an awesome time exploring the South Island in the van.
It’s really easy to drive and the set up in the van is very functional, with plenty of storage, and works perfectly. The solar panels meant we never had an issue with power. We also loved cooking in the van - the set up means you are able to cook inside rather than standing outside (a lot of the other Toyota hiaces we saw had their kitchens at the back accessed through the boot) which meant we could cook in the dry when it rained.
It’s a perfect van for two people. Nick kindly picked us up from the airport and dropped us back also and was always easily contactable should we have had any issues.
Would highly recommend (and have done to family in Aus who have NZ on their travel list!). Thanks again Nick!

Wow, where do I start?
What an adventure! We had such a wonderful time touring around the South Island of NZ in our Piwiwiwi Van! It was equipped with everything you need and the bed is a full Queen size and very comfy so we slept well! When you hire with Piwiwiwi you are hiring from a family owned and operated business, which makes such a difference. Nick was wonderful the whole way from booking, to collecting us from the airport and helping us get to know all the features of the van. Highly recommended!

A great campervan choice !
It was a great first experience of renting a campervan. Felt like home from day one.
Absoluly no issues, fully equipped, great interior design, with a suprislingly large storage space whether you are the organized type of person or not. The charging system with the solar panels, with allows to avoid powered sites at all time, and the ability to stand in the van are real pluses.
Like said in other reviews, great contact with Nick before the trip and on site, with a well appreciated pick-up and return to the center of Christchurch.
Only regrets was our trip with the van being to short (12 days) and having to return it.

We had a fantastic couple of weeks with our Piwiwiwi van in South Island.
Nick picked us up and dropped us off from our airport hotel, and explained everything we needed to know about the van - perfect for our first time driving anything bigger than a car!
The van was the perfect size for two, and the solar panel meant we didn't need to pay for any powered sites. It easily handled all of the roads of South Island, including a lot of mountain passes and gravel!
The only negative was we didn't want the holiday to end. If we came back, we'd definitely book with Nick again.

We had such a great experience using Piwiwiwi Campervans!
Price was very competitive and the van had everything we needed (unlike some companies where you have to pay extra). Nick was very communicative and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a wonderful 3 weeks in our little campervan from Piwiwiwi.
Nick picked us up at our airbnb and then took all the time needed to explain how everything worked (being our first time in a campervan!) and then got on the road. Everything was very well set up, we had everything we needed, we found it easy to make the bed at night and tidy things up in the morning, had plenty of space for our backbags, our clothes, etc. And had found a way of organising everything. We never had any issue with the battery as Nick explained with the solar panels working wonder. We'd do a free or cheap site without power for a day or two and then one with power, but most importantly for us showers, kitchen, etc. to have more space and a little more "luxury". All in all, we drove 3,000 kms I think (?) and everything went well and highly recommend Piwiwiwi.

My partner and I rented out one of the PiwiWiwi campers in September 2024 and set off on the trip of a lifetime around the South Island.
Out of all the campervan companies in NZ, we were drawn to PiwiWiwi as it is a small family-run business and the reviews were all overwhelmingly positive (deservedly so). We were in touch with Nick, who responded super quickly and made the whole booking process very straightforward. With many other campervan companies, there are additional fees if you want things like a converter, outdoor table and chairs, unlimited mileage etc. With PiwiWiwi, everything is included in the base price. The only thing that affects the price is the level of insurance you want.
We stayed in Christchurch the day before our trip and Nick picked us up from our hostel and brought us to collect the campervan. We had a briefing before setting off which left us with all the knowledge we needed to have a safe and enjoyable trip.
As for the van itself, you can tell it was fitted by people who are passionate about what they do and understand what is required to give the best experience to their customers. The van maximised the space brilliantly, and everything had its place. We had everything we needed to look after ourselves including an actual sharp knife in the kitchen and a hot water bottle which worked a treat on the colder nights. All the equipment worked seamlessly and we were able to cook full meals, make coffee and enjoy the views out the back window every morning and evening. The bed was very comfortable and cosy and there was ample space for all of our belongings.
The only thing we would do differently if we were to go again is go for longer. We spent two weeks and wished we had another two by the end. It was honestly one of our favourite trips we've ever done and we could not recommend Nick and all the team at PiwiWiwi enough!

This is our second time renting from Piwiwiwi, and we wouldn’t choose any other company.
Their campers are reasonably priced and come equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The airport pick-up and drop-off are super convenient, though returning the van on the last day is always a bit of a downer! Nick was just a call or message away if we needed anything during our trip. Highly recommend these guys!

The ideal van.
Full stop. Comes with solar on the roof and an inverter, so no need for powered camp site.
Nick is easy to talk to, full of knowledge. Had an excellent time.
Would I book with PiwiWiwi again? Most definitely! I cannot recommend them high enough :)

We rented our camper for 2 weeks and it was perfect.
We had a blue unmarked van, which was big and comfortable enough to stay in when the weather was bad, but small enough to park anywhere.
It was kitted out with everything we needed for both camp site and freedom camping. Very comfortable bed for 2. Nice and warm when it got chilly.
Nick was so helpful, he picked us up and delivered us back to Christchurch, & gave us all the info we needed for a great trip.
The only problem we had was giving the van back at the end of our trip :(

Second time with this family run business. Highly recommended. Very professional and personal service. Vans in excellent condition and extremely well equipped. Nothing to worry about. Great communication. For me the number one!

Piwiwiwi is the real deal!
Nick and Julie have the best campervans to explore New Zealand. This is my second time renting with Piwiwiwi and won't be my last. The campervans are designed with functionality and efficiency in mind and are outfitted with all the essentials you might need during your travels, including cookware, linens, towels, and chairs. The fridge, stovetop, and sink are easy to use, and the bed is comfortable for two people. The van also has ample storage room and space for two people to navigate. I’ve never had to use the toilet in the van as there are facilities with showers and toilets available throughout the many holiday parks. The van is also extremely easy to handle and drive, and the lower gears are invaluable for steep and winding mountain driving. The van is nondescript and not covered in logos, which is a bonus. The best part of Piwiwiwi though is the level of genuine and kind service they provide, from the airport pickup/drop-off, to Nick’s thorough tour of the van with detailed instructions on all the components. Piwiwiwi goes above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable, happy, and ready for a seamless trip. If you are thinking of renting a campervan, then Piwiwiwi is the right choice!
