When planning our trip to New Zealand we knew it had to include a road trip campervan style and as soon as I came across the Classic Campers website I was completely sold on getting into one of their rental Kombis. Retro Volkswagen heaven.
Bevan and Andrea, the owners of Classic Campers, were also a treat to work with. He is a bit of a whiz when it comes to the VW mechanics so he had the 1975 Kombi running like a champ. They have a collection of seven vintage campervans that they rent out as well as some modern vans and caravan options. Our particular Kombi came complete with a refrigerator/freezer, hot & cold pressure water, a 2 burner gas stove, and a good stereo system with a USB hookup for our Iphones. What more do you need, really?
5: If you ever stay at this campsite don’t park your campervan next to all the boats on the racks like we did… unless of course you want to be woken up at 7 am by a crowd of 50 teenage/college age boys (from what I assume was the Cambridge Rowing Club) surrounding your van while getting their boats off the racks. Even my ear plugs couldn’t save me from that one.
Hey Erin, I did find one photo of the very glamorous interior that you can see on Rupert’s instagram. :) Check it here… http://instagram.com/p/WBZWJ9EpMG/ It may surprise you but we slept like babies in that thing!
