From coastal beach towns to remote and mountainous National Parks, the variety of scenery across New Zealand is simply outstanding. You can start your day with a coffee by the ocean and finish your day with a walk to a glacier thanks to just a few hours of driving. What better way to explore the incredible range of nature than by road trip? Find the perfect caravan to be your home on wheels and hit the road!
With the scope of unique caravans available for hire on Camplify, you won’t be hard-pressed to find the perfect fit for you. Be it a family affair with a six-berth machine or a compact caravan that sleeps two, there are tons of caravans available for hire. Not to mention, you’re hiring from a fellow adventurer who’s happy to extend their caravan to you, with all the tips and tricks included. Hiring a caravan requires a vehicle with the right towing capabilities, and some experience with towing a caravan helps. Expect to be cruising at no more than 90km/h, for a leisurely, slightly slower-paced road trip.
1. Cameo, Auckland
This caravan is just calling out for the beach. Find a camping spot with the perfect ocean view and just the right amount of salt spray, and you’ve locked down a great experience. With large (and opening) windows to enjoy the view from, it’s the ideal caravan to cosy up in. Leave the worry of getting too hot or too cold behind. Cameo has air conditioning and ducted gas heating to keep you comfortable year around. Bring the kids and convert the dining area into two singles or one double bed. Or make it a getaway for two and enjoy the permanent double bed, cooking facilities and generous amounts of storage. All the comforts of home with so much character and charm. If you’re looking for a getaway from Auckland, Cameo is a great caravan to hire on Camplify!
2. Hopara, Mount Maunganui
Get off the beaten track with Hopara; the ultimate two-person towable tear-drop caravan. This bad boy is kitted out with all sorts of handy stuff. The roof racks mean you can travel with your surfboard or other big must-have’s. A camping table and chairs and included for those idyllic campgrounds. Given you’ve got the right wheels, you can roll up to beaches and create the most unforgettable dinner spot. The fully equipped kitchen out back has everything you need, including a removable prep table. Hopara is set up for a comfortable sleep for two.

3. Claris, Auckland

She’s a classic from the 1960’s but has been lovingly renovated with a bespoke kitchen, a double bed set up and a JVC surround sound system! Rent Claris onsite in Beachlands, Auckland and arrive to all the amenities that can come with this caravan. Think kayaks, a barbeque and bathroom facilities shared with the hosts. Travel outside the area or to have Clairs relocated can be arranged directly with the owners.
