New Zealand is one of the last remote wildernesses left in the world... making it the perfect place to explore by campervan rental. For more information on Motorhome Rental in New Zealand and New Zealand Travel visit Motorhome Roadtrip:
New Zealand is notable for its stunning scenery (including recognisable locations from the Lord of the Rings trilogy); its unique flora and fauna (even if its national emblem, the kiwi, is a rather odd-looking flightless bird); its geographical remoteness (even Australia is nearly 2000kms away); its innovative people (it was the first country to give women the vote and Kiwi Sir Edmund Hilary was the first man to make it to the top of Mt Everest); delectable food and wine (Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Bluff oysters anyone...?) and its love of adrenaline-pumping extreme sports (bungy-jumping was invented there!).
As you travel through New Zealand by motorhome you can absorb the fascinating Maori culture, experience sophisticated cosmopolitan society with a laid-back twist, and journey to remote spots it’s possible no other human has ever even set foot on. Campervanning is an ideal way to experience this little slice of heaven – you can travel at your own pace and stop wherever you like, for as long as you like, and keep going past anywhere that disappoints! There’s a vast number of campsites and holiday parks dotted all over the country to accommodate you, and campervan rentals to suit any budget – and best of all, there’s a pretty favourable exchange rate to take your money further.Read on to get the BEST advice, tips, tricks and secrets on where to go, what to do, how to plan and mistakes to avoid, to truly get the most out of your New Zealand campervanning holiday.

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
