Where To Stay

Share

Throughout the length and breadth of New Zealand you will find a huge choice of holiday parks. While you are likely to stay in campgrounds for the majority of your holiday, we find that a lot of people like to stay in a hotel close to the branch if travelling a fair distance to allow early pick up the day after and a full day exploring!

It's a good idea to book your first and last night's stay, especially over the peak season of Christmas until the end of February. 

Local Stays

We recommend booking a Local Stays membership for $40 (travel up to 31 Oct; or $59 from 1 Nov), which provides access to a network of more than a hundred places throughout New Zealand where you can stay overnight in your Certified Self Contained Britz campervan.

What does self-contained mean? The vehicle meets the ablutionary and sanitary needs of the occupants of the campervan for a minimum of three days without requiring any external services for discharging any waste. Basically your campervan has fresh water, a toilet and waste tanks, therefore providing more options about where you can freedom camp. 

Once you become a member, you can stay at local boutique businesses including restaurants, wineries, olive groves, boutique breweries, farms. The idea is to meet the locals, try their products, purchase some of their delicious products or have a meal – and in return stay with them overnight at no extra charge!

With Local Stays you will:

C​onnect - Get off the tourist trail and avoid the crowds. Connect with local artisans and gourmet producers. Meet real Kiwis. 
Stay - Park overnight with welcoming Kiwi hosts in safe, quiet, friendly surroundings – all as part of your membership!
Experience - Taste fresh, locally grown product, purchase world-famous wines, oils and gourmet condiments, visit lesser-known sights and experiences.​
