Travelled in end Sept / early Oct 2018 in their 4 berth camper and it ran like a dream.
We rented the 2 berth from Affordable for the first time in 2016 and decided to upgrade this time round.
Absolutely no regrets on that decision - the 4 berth camper had no issues at all and ran better than the camper booked (from one of the big name brands eg britz mighty etc) by our relatives we were traveling with.
Lynda and the team were such friendly and welcoming people. Easy to get on with and very helpful in answering all our questions. Really glad we went with Affordable Motor Homes once again and we will continue to do so every time we travel to NZ.

This is on our list of best freedom campsites we've been to in the South Island.
The drive on the gravel road is do-able and completely worth the effort. Heaps of spots to have a nice private space to park with great views of the lake and surroundings. The only "downside" (if you can call it that), is that there is no mobile reception for quite a bit of the drive in & at the campsite. Absolutely no problems for us in that regard, it was great to be unplugged for 24 hours. We will definitely be back.

Simply breathtaking.
Slightly quieter spot available over at The Pines but the view here alone was worth having to share the space with 15 other campers around.

We fell in love with this spot the moment we pulled up.
The drive on the 6km gravel road in our camper was well worth it. Tons of sand flies so be prepared to get bitten if you do not have the correct bug spray. However, that did not stop us from jumping into the refreshingly cold lake for an incredible swim with breathtaking views !

You can pull over anywhere after the turn out and there is no specific spot to freedom camp.
Spot we picked was beautiful and apart from another 2 or 3 campers around, we had the whole place to ourselves. The sunset over the lake is spectacular

Lynda, Joy, and the team at Affordable Motorhome Rentals have made our experience in New Zealand an incredible one.
Our first experience renting a camper was easy and smooth sailing, from the moment Lynda handled my million and one enquiries with incredible patience, to the moment we returned our vehicle without a hitch.
The vehicle itself worked perfectly despite its age (2001-03 model) and was just right for our 13 days spent in the camper. My partner who is over 2m tall had not much of an issue navigating around our little home for the 2 weeks therefore would be perfect for any 'normal' size couple!
We loved every single moment in the camper and would recommend everyone do this at least once in a lifetime. Definitely also rent with Affordable Motor Homes as they treat you like family and their vehicles are in great working condition.
