A bit late but we still felt we should provide some feedback after travelling with a PiwiWiwi campervan 6 months ago!
So we were planning on travelling NZ for 6 weeks, but had to extend because the experience was amazing. Despite winter approaching and actually wet and chilly days and nights (even snow in Queenstown!) we had a very comfortable stay in 'our' van. Nick provided us with everything we needed, you only need to ask. So for extra's we had a fan-heater (life-saver esp for me), keep-cups, tub, line and clothes pegs, extra doona, and even umbrella's and a body board. We've used all of it. Due to the weather we've only stayed on campgrounds, so we could use showers and kitchen, and the fan-heater of course (powered sites). Nevertheless during the day, travelling the country, we had a great sense of freedom, just parking the van in the most beautiful spots to gaze at the sea, read a book or go for a hike. The van is very practical, not cluttered, with loads of space for luggage and extra's. It didn't feel cramped with 2 people, despite the weather forcing us indoors. Also parking in the cities was super easy due to the size of the van, regular parking spots were great. Actually, after returning to Au, back to tent-camping, I felt a bit spoilt in NZ, 'cause the van-camping was so much easier..... but I'm trying to ignore that. Nick was absolutely lovely and helpful, even when we contacted him during travels. So glad we chose PiwiWiwi, and hope to be back in a couple of years.
