Why Campervan In New Zealand?
Is New Zealand A Good Place To Campervan?
Driving around in a campervan means you can visit anywhere you want and are not limited by time or bus schedules. New Zealand offers two islands filled with unique activities and stunning landscape for you to check out. There are plenty of hidden gems tucked away in the valleys and hiding behind the mountains of New Zealand. The more remote the location, the more rewarding the experience. Guided tours and coach trips often drive right past the best spots as they cannot get access. In your own campervan you can chill and enjoy the scenery until you actually want to leave.
Is It 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!
Friendship and Romance On The Road
When you and a friend chose to travel together in a campervan, you will have the best time of your lives (well, most of the time!). There wil be no more missed sunsets along the West Coast of New Zealand, and plenty of nights cuddled up under the stars in your cosy camper. There is something very intimate about living in your camper for a few weeks while traveling around.
Should I Rent or Buy A Campervan?
This depends on the length of your stay in New Zealand. If you come on a working holiday, then I recommend having a look at buying a campervan as you will have one year to use it. If you rent your campervan, it is pretty expensive for most unless you are sharing the costs between friends. Good news is that campervans in New Zealand will hold their value and you should be able to sell it for as much as you bought it for after a few months of travel.
