Have you ever considered taking a road trip around New Zealand? A campervan is one of the best ways to explore NZ.
The Freedom Of The Road
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.
Cost Effective
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.
Relaxing
Campervans create a convenience to be able to stop anywhere and relax, have a cup of tea or coffee while by the beach (at no extra cost), and keep food cool for your trip. Everything you own is with you at all times. Your laptop, camera, kindle, bed.. All in one place, on the road, exploring a fantastic country in comfort.
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.
Money
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.
