South island of NZ...want a reliable and good value motorhome to hire.?

Question

We are a family of 2 adults, and kids aged 9, 7, 5, 2...

Has to be a 6 berth...looking at Maui...

Anyone got any tips???

Answer 1

Maui is with the same company as Britz so talk to them on which is more suitable. then there is also Apollo which is also a very good company. I have used both . Compare prices and ask the difference of insurance. Has it got a TV in it . Although you need a 6 berth be prepared to be cramped as by the time you put your luggage in there you won't have much room to move. If it was myself travelling I think I would prefer a car or people mover that would seat 6 and stay in motels. Best of luck you will be seeing some beautiful places

Answer 2

Hi from New Zealand,

Maui is a good reputable company. If you are flying into Christchurch airport you can pick up a motorhome from there.

Then go north up the east coast to Kaikoura - whale watching and great sea food, up to Blenheim, over to Nelson - lots of Arts and crafts and beautiful native forest hiking, carry on down the  wild west coast to Haast, cross over to Wanaka & Queenstown, go down to Invercargill and work your way back up through Dunedin and Timaru on the east coast to Christchurch.

Have a great trip.

Perfect, start in Nelson - then do the South Island!
