Where to Stay

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!

Travelling by camper is an instant antidote to everyday life that’s accessible and easy on the pocket, combining accommodation and transport into one. I love having a home away from home where everything that the family takes on their adventures can be stowed away at the start of the journey. Gone are the days of packing and unpacking or always keeping a weather eye out in case the wind gets up. Although now we can turn down any road and stop wherever we like. We’ve found that ‘immersion’ is a good way to go and we often choose a town or region to park up. From there we enjoy day trips to surrounding areas, something kids will love.
