This blog was written by Charlie and Kieran, young doctors on a working holiday in New Zealand from the United Kingdom. They had hired a campervan for six months and their blogs will appear here as they make their trip around New Zealand.
"How to enjoy the wonders of New Zealand is waking up to it on your doorstep. Pull back the curtains to see nothing between you and the sea but the beach. This luxurious version of camping is the way to access front row tickets to some spectacular Kiwi landscapes.
You can always make the most of the outdoors by enjoying it from the moment you get up; breakfast in the sun and fresh coffee after a deep sleep. The campervans offer excess storage space and require the minimal cleaning so for those of you, who like me, are not interested in cleaning on the holiday it is perfect. Once you want to get on and commence the next discovery, shut the doors, jump in the driving seat and leave. Back on the road.
The ease of hiring a campervan immediately avoids having to buy and sell, to ensure you are getting a good deal and insurance issues involved. You can relax that any prangs will be covered in the insurance and there is number you can call immediately if you need help. From our experience though check your insurance’s excess and be careful about extra costs with picking up or dropping off the van in different locations as it is a unique way for the company to charge more.
The best thing about hiring a campervan is that you are able to enjoy New Zealand as it is intended-outdoors in the wilderness surrounded by a deserted snow-capped mountain with a crystal clear blue lake shimmering at its base. Drive for miles throughout dense green forest with thousands of species of New Zealand’s birds flying alongside you. You can get closer than anyone else with a campervan and it’s so simple, because you are already there surrounded by it.
For those more socially minded, don’t worry! Thousands of visitors each year enjoy campervan camping in NZ. Campsites and motor parks are the perfect venue to meet travellers of all ages, from students to families.
And what if you don’t like the campsite? Then fear not, you can just pack up and drive to the next one!
Orewa Top 10: Orewa Top 10 campsite is the perfect location and set up for a campsite. This good value campervan site truly is beachside and the other great thing is that it is a perfect location, either for a stop off on your way up to the Bay of Islands or to escape the confusion of Auckland. Open the curtains in the morning to the beach and sea. The beach is really nice for an early morning walk or run for those that are more disciplined than me! The third time we went there, we belatedly discovered the FREE broadband internet which is always useful to keep the holiday as budget as possible.

Russell
Top 10 campsite: This campervan site is situated slightly on the hill ten minutes walk from Russell centre. The proximity to the wharf means that you can get in maximum sleep before the various boat trips that are offered. The campervan site’s height gives it some incredible views of the sunsets over the bay. A perfect evening was using the site’s impressive outdoor BBQ and a few drinks overlooking the bay. Making the most of the sites amenities means the best value for money. Matauri beach: This campervan site feels like the end of civilisation after the tourist driven Bay of Islands. The site is just 40 minutes north from the Bay of Islands and of
f the beaten track. As you come down and round the hill the white sandy beach and crystal water stretches out in front of you. There is a beautiful lookout just above the campervan site at the north end of the beach. The secluded campervan site is budget but has all amenities you need, including a couple of petrol pumps and beachside power sites. Personally I’d advise making sure you stock up with food beforehand. The site is quiet so just go ahead and fall asleep to waves and wake up to your own private beach in the morning. "
