If you are planning a holiday this year, consider renting a campervan in New Zealand and spending some time there.
There are a variety of reasons to rent/buy a campervan in New Zealand and the epic scenery and stunning beauty of this country should be just one reason. You can relax under starry skies and park by a lake while you watch the sun set behind the mountains.
Having a vehicle means you can go wherever you want at your own leisure. There is no time-frame on available days to travel or a set time to get up out of your bed. Life is yours to control and you should take advantage of this and explore all of the amazing places the New Zealand has to offer. Both the north and south islands have adrenaline pumping activities to get your heart racing and jaw dropping scenery around every corner. The further off the beaten track you get the more beautiful the location. In your own 4x4 campervan you can even explore more places than most.
Will It Be Expensive?
This is a tricky one because camper-vanning is often seen as a very expensive option for travel. If you weigh up the options and consider the money saved on accommodation and the ability to cook for yourself, you have a cheaper than backpacking scenario. The price of a bed in a 12 bed dorm in New Zealand is upwards of $28 per night. It might even work out cheaper to get a campervan and split costs with your friends. Doing this you don't need have accommodation costs, and the kitchen sink is right behind you.
Chill Out Time
The pictures of campervans by the beach with the surf on the background and a bunch of happy people sitting around has been in my head for years. Campervans give you the freedom to chill out and have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine right by the beach. Your music can be playing and some food on the stove. Good times!
Travel With Friends
Living in such close quarters can be a blessing or a curse. When you and a friend chose to travel together in a campervan, there can be some great times ahead. But on the contrary, traveling with a partner can be amazing. There is something very intimate about living together while traveling around New Zealand.
To Rent or Buy A Campervan?
If you rented your campervan, fair enough the money has been spent but if you opted to buy a camper, you can sell your campervan for round the same price as you bought it. They hold their value in New Zealand very well and you can expect to sell it for as much as you bought it for no problem. This will give you money for a few months in Asia after if you want to keep traveling! Try to sell it before the summer ends so you can get maximum cash back while there is still a high demand for campervans, as in autumn and winter the chilly nights can put people off buying them.
