Why Campervan In New Zealand?
Is New Zealand A Good Place To Campervan?
Lets face it, group tours are boring and you feel like a sheep being herded along by a Shepard. When you have a vehicle it gives you the option to go anywhere you want whenever you want! There is so much to see and do between the two islands and with relatively short driving distances you will never need to drive to far to be at your destination.
Will It Be Expensive?
A hard question to answer.. Well it depends on a number of factors like how many people are splitting the costs? Are you looking for a cheap camper or a fancy one with all of the trimmings? Is your plan to stay at DOC sites or park up in the middle of nowhere? When you share costs and weigh up the costs of accommodation and eating out, you have a reasonable price. An 8 bed dorm room in New Zealand's south island goes for $27 upwards all year round.
Relaxing
It is hard to explain to those who have not been to New Zealand the true magnitude of the beauty. Around every corner another spectacular site and across each ridge is another epic mountain pass. Images of campervans parked up by the lake with kayaks paddling in the distance has been a dream of mine for years. Even the driving is fun as the roads wind and turn through forests and across mountains.
Friendship/Romance
You will have a much more fun experience if you travel with friends of a partner than if you go at it alone. There is so much fun to be had driving around New Zealand with some good buddies on a road trip. Traveling with a partner can be an amazing life experience and be great for your relationship, creating memories that will last forever.. There is something very special about New Zealand.
To 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.
