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!
