Quite simply Rotorua Campervans (and their 'Monaco' van) gave us the best family holiday we have ever had.

Truly amazing. From the outset, Joe and Lorraine were great to deal with. Yes, there was the admin and the contract (refreshingly more transparent and less complicated than the big companies) but there were all the other friendly touches about throwing in various accessories for the kids that they had built up a store of over the years. The van was christened 'Brian' by our son and he is still often talked about. The perfect family layout (two kids on the kingsize bed above the cabin) and the u-shaped sofas with three big windows and table at the back for use when not outside. We could sit chat and have a drink while the kids were asleep. It then converted into an equally large bed for us. A 5 year old and 2 year old covered 2,000 km in the car seats side facing but also looking through the cabin. Very spacious (nearly 7m long!) and easy to drive - big engine with a great airbrake for all the hills. It literally took 2 mins driving away to get the hang of it and was great fun to drive through the mountains in Northland. For a novice, the water tanks, waste and toilet were very easy to manage. The outside shower in particular was brilliant after days at the beach! Sitting here writing this a month or two later and the smiles flood back. Do it!
