South Island ▷ Central Otago ▷ Ranfurly ▷
Waipiata Domain and Camping Area
Nice large flat area with clean well stocked toilet.
Had the worst night though as a group of presumably locals had loud music going till 3am and clearly drunk. If it wasn’t for our two ypung kids that did manage to fall asleep somehow, we would have left. A pity that some people just spoil it all for others.

North Island ▷ Coromandel ▷ Whitianga ▷
Lee Street Carpark, Whitianga
Really small bays to park in.
Not really suited for motorhomes, but we managed. Stores and takeaway food really close by so that’s where this spot does gain points. There is a crossfit just meters away which had loud music going till midnight and then again from 7am, so not really a quiet spot. We stayed here a Friday night.

South Island ▷ Mount Cook - MacKenzie ▷ Omarama ▷
Quailburn Campsite
Gorgeous location, good flat spots next to the stream.
We were the only ones here, but not surprising as the last 11km down the road is a gravel road and the last 2-3km is almost more like offroad. We managed quite easily though with our large motorhome, but did so slow but sure.
Can definitely recommend if you want a quiet and beautiful spot away from the highway.
Would have been 10/10 if better access road.

Kiwi Motorhomes
From the first email we sent to enquire about the motorhome right to the point of handing back the keys after a great holiday, it has been one wonderful experience.
Nick goes above and beyond any expectations, offering a very personal service. It was our first time renting a motorhome so we had many questions, to which we always received an almost instant reply.
We rented the Mercedes motorhome for 1 month and during this time we had no issues whatsoever. Very reliable, easy to drive and with the added bonus of no visible branding, you get treated by others as a local!
Sure, the motorhome is not brand new, but that's not what we wanted anyway (and having said that, it was clean, comfortable and all in perfect working condition, what more do you want!?).
What we were looking for was a reliable, affordable, motorhome with good service and that's exacly what we did get. No, we actually got more than that...!
The motorhome had everything we could have ever needed during our stay. The bikes, gps and mobile phone came at no extra cost. Unbelievable!
We picked it up in Auckland, where Nick met up with us exactly at the time and place that we had agreed. The drop off at Christchurch was also completely hassle free, catered perfectly to our flight schedule.
Between booking our holiday a year up front and the actual departure, we decided to get married in New Zealand. When Nick heard of this, we really surprised us yet again with some of his personal touches :-)
We said we'd come back to NZ to celebrate one of our anniversaries. Well, we wouldn't even think twice about where to rent our motorhome from because we don't think we'd ever find better than this!
We would rate 20 out of 10 if we could! :-)
