A caravan, a car and a general sense of direction. You won’t need much more for a caravan adventure in New Zealand. There’s something about driving on the open road that instils the notion that anything is possible. Cruise between campgrounds and enjoy taking it slow. It’s one of the best parts of caravan travel. All of life’s troubles float into the background and the road trip takes centre stage. Plus, everything you need for a cosy night is packed into the van in tow. With all the caravans available for hire across the country on Camplify, all that’s left to do is pick the van that suits your needs, and decide which road trip route to take.
1. Happy Days
One of the best character-filled caravans for hire in Christchurch on Camplify is ‘Happy Days’. A unique treasure, this caravan transports you to a 1950s American Diner with black and white lino flooring and blue vinyl seats. Enjoy the fresh white walls that make this caravan feel incredibly spacious. If you’re on the hunt for a Christchurch caravan rental and you’re a group of four, Happy Days could be just the van for you. Hook her on the back and discover the tastes of the North Canterbury wine region in the Waipara Valley, or head for the mountains in Arthur’s Pass National Park. The places you can explore in and around Christchurch are unmatched. You’ll have all the amenities with you including an awning and classic pantry essentials, plus this caravan is easy to tow.
2. The Bailey Ranger
The trusty Bailey Ranger caravan is a six-berth adventure machine, meaning there’s no shortage of space. As far as Christchurch caravan rental options go, Bailey is ideal for family holidays. She sleeps six, with one fixed bed, a double bed and bunks! Plenty of storage means you can settle in straight away. Roll up to a scenic campsite and unhook this caravan which will become your dining, sleeping and lounging quarters for your trip. One perk of caravan travel is that once you’re settled, you and the family can explore the local area by car. Whether you want to head off-road or just don’t want to drive a large camper to and from your daily activities, it’s a big plus.

3. Miss Elddis

Roll down the black-out blinds and watch a movie on the smart TV in the evenings, and pop up the awning for days spent outdoors. Imagine the memories you could make on a couple’s getaway in this Christchurch-based caravan!
4. Bertha
Embrace the caravan life with a getaway in Bertha. There’s a lot to love about this four-berth caravan, including a large opening front window to soak up the scenery from, and big comfy bench seats for lazy afternoons.

5. Florence
Florence is perhaps the sweetest little caravan you can rent in Christchurch. This lovingly refurbed caravan boasts a fresh paint job and sleek interior, so you can experience retro camping in comfort.

If you’re travelling in the cooler months, Florence has a fan heater which keeps the space cosy. Charming touches will make you appreciate the little things, like a hot cuppa on a crisp morning, at your new favourite beachside campsite.
