A guide for touring NZ in rental Campervans and Motorhomes - written by Adrian Tonks. A New Zealand motorhome holiday is arguably one of the best way to experience this popular travel destination; with stunning coastline, rivers and forests to isolated mountain passes all within easy reach of the independent traveller.

Travelling distances are relatively small and the scenery ever evolving,making for a fun, memorable camper holiday.  Freedom of independence opens the door to a great vacation; however it can limit opportunities to meet people outside of campervan parks in New Zealand. The shame of this is that Kiwi's are widely regarded as a friendly, honest and open people from a diverse multi-cultural  background. Definitely folks that you want to meet on your holiday!

A bridge to meeting the local people for independent travellers touring New Zealand on their camper holiday is a network of rural properties and businesses operated by motorhome friendly New Zealanders. This special group of New Zealanders, who are as diverse in culture and enterprise as the scenery that surrounds them, extend an open welcome to rental motorhome travellers.

These rural businesses offer travellers a place to overnight at no cost and without obligation. This allows you to really experience New Zealand and meet the Kiwi's. There can be no better way to immerse yourself in the New Zealand culture, place, space and time.

Rural properties covers all of New Zealand and are available though Subscription, which includes special guidebooks.

When arriving at a Motorhome Haven, members introduce themselves and start a new relationship. Arriving is all that's needed, though you do need a membership to overnight at these properties.

To encourage personal relationships with the local people, the number of sites at each Motorhome Haven is small, a far cry fromthe cheek and jowl crush that can be found in some campervan parks. Relax and enjoy the tranquillity.

Meeting the local people can make a holiday particularly special. Picture sipping a glass of wine, enveloped in the warmth of the setting sun, right in the vineyard where the grapes were grown and the wine made. Perhaps something more adventurous, a tour through limestone caves on a backwater country sheep station? Or your tummy's  grumbling and a homemade meal takes your fancy.
