How to Travel Around New Zealand

I spent three and a bit weeks travelling around New Zealand by campervan and I cannot think of a better way to see this magnificent country.

I rented my little home on wheels via RatPack Travel who were an absolute godsend. Sammy – the king of the camper world – hooked me up with a van for our roadie and gave me invaluable advice that saved me so much time and money. I’d recommend hitting him up as soon as you’ve booked your flights so your transport is ready and raring to go!

The best bit was it was absolutely the cheapest rate I ever could’ve accessed too because he passes on a percentage of his commission to the customer.

Drop him a WhatsApp here or visit this page if you’ve got a New Zealand or Australia road trip coming up – there’s nobody else I’d ever book through again (and that’s having tried out 3 other companies too!)
