Hi, just planning a trip and wondering if you could share your itinerary, this was such a beautiful trip 😍
Hi! Thank you so much :) Absolutely happy to share - this is a pretty rough itinerary and we didn't follow it EXACTLY to the T but it's a great start. Hope this helps! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FF2WfA0ylRnZzcv485jLfconf6gpeLXf6cYqgZ2Ru2Q/edit?usp=sharing
@@rmfilmssydney thank you so much, that’s incredibly kind of you to share and I appreciate it very much.
@@rmfilmssydney wow, your itinerary is perfection! Also your videos are adorable and I’m totally referring to your itinerary to plan our trip this summer. Thank you so much ❤
@@sindhubm93 thank you!! no worries at all! So happy to help and hope you have the best time!!!
Really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing 😁
so happy to hear that! thank you for watching it! :)
Hi there!
Really love your guys videos, your trip looked amazing!
I am doing a similar trip next week, south island in a 2 berth. You guys seemed to have went in the same time as we are going, do you have any general tips or things you wish you knew prior to going?
Thanks a lot :)
Hi! Thank you for the comment :) Of course, happy to share some tips:
1. Plan your days well so that you won't be driving in the dark/past sunset.
2. Pick the highest insurance possible (if you can afford it).
3. Drive slow, take your time, respect the road rules and pull over.
Hope this helps a little bit!
Hi!! How are the roads? I’ve read it can be dangerous at times. I never drived in a campervan before so just curious! Thanks a lot😊
hi! It was also our first time driving a campervan, which i was nervous about... BUT! New Zealand (the places we went to) were pretty campervan friendly. Lots of spots to stop by the side of road, nice long relatively wide roads. There are some areas that were tighter and winding, but if you drive slowly, it's not a problem at all! Also, it helps if you schedule your itinerary so there's no driving past sunset.
Hii! Am heading over to NZ the same time as you next year and was wondering if the heating in the car warm enough? 😅
hi! that's so exciting! and YES it definitely was. There was a portable heater connected to electricity or you have a gas heater so you have both options. We just used the portable heater and it was perfect!
unreal video-work~
Whaat no way, that's so nice of you to say! thank you
Nice. your 10 days trip in early or late May? What's the temp like?
Hey! We went for our trip mid-May :) Temp averaged around 10-15 degrees Celsius which we loved because it was cold enough to see some snow top the mountains but not too cold for outdoor activites and just enjoy the campervan. (Plus it’s a quieter travel season!)
@@rmfilmssydney nice. Just what I'm looking for. Can share your campervan company
@@jkml8855 Absolutely - we booked with maui Rentals NZ, we highly recommend them. We booked the highest insurance level and a 2+1 Berth Ultima Plus :) (from my memory).
Love it❤
thank you very much!
Where did you stay at Wanaka ? Very nice see lake view when you wake up
Hi! We stayed at the Glendhu Bay Motor Camp :)
So the reason you chose camper van because it's cheaper than staying at hotels?
Hi! Not really the main reason, we just wanted to experience a bit of campervan life and not have to go through the hassle of constantly booking accommodation :) It was easier to book powered campervan sights plus the views we got to wake up to were amazing!
Can you share your site for rental? I couldn’t find anything for less then $300 USD/ day in Feb for 2 people.
Hi! Of course - I'm not sure about the prices now but we booked through Maui here: www.maui-rentals.com/nz/en. Hope this helps!
How much is the rent for the van
Hi! It was around $2.4k AUD for a 3-person campervan, 11 days, and the highest level of insurance. Not including what we spent on fuel! Hope this helps!
Salamat po ng marami sa mabilis na reply, bakit po AU sa new zealand po un diba
@@Kuyaquotes2106 that's the conversion to AUD, NZD is very similar anyway :)
hi may i know how much did you spend on gas and what about showers and toilet? thank you for your video.@@rmfilmssydney
