Kiwi Campers New Zealand
We rented a 2 berth campervan.
So far, so good, it was clean and is well equipped. People from the agency were helpful and also went to pick us up at our hotel.

Excellent track, very nice views but overcrowded (maybe because it was a weekend?).

Tested the private pool (18NZD/person for 1/2 hour).
Was comfortable, private shower as well. A small view on the outsides would have been great though.

Kaiteriteri Kayaks
Our guide was really nice and helpful.

Lake Tarawera Outlet Campsite
Nice area, easy to access with campervan, however toilets were loaded with mosquitos, no air = no exit for them.
