Maui Motorhome Rental Christchurch - Harewood

We had a great time , pick and drop off was very efficient and easy .Spend 9 days in West Coast and upper north of South Island. The vehicle was very cleaned and easy to drive .Great service from staff at Christchurch. Keep up the good work .

Hiring a campervan and driving from Queenstown to Christchurch has to have been one of the best experiences we've ever had! It was big enough for the three of us, comfortable to sleep in (once we got used to it) and a really smooth drive. Love the idea of being able to stay where and when you want and not be dictated by pre-booked accommodation. would highly recommend a campervan holiday.

Recently my wife and I took our first camper van adventure down through West Coast, Wanaka and Lake Tekapo and while nervous about this at first we had an awesome time and have already started to plan our next trip. My concerns were that the camper van would be to old, to slow, to small and really hard to drive and set up on the trip, but in actual fact it was modern, clean, well appointed and a breeze to drive and set up even stopping for a cuppa in a remote location took minutes. We had the Venturer 2 birth camper van and would definitely hire one again.

The camper overall was great. Drove really well. We travelled just over 1500kms in seven days. I think they could improve the experience by adding a gas toaster and jug to use for when you are not plugged into 240v also a thicker mattress would be great for the beds, after six nights I was hanging out for my own bed. Would do again in a heartbeat.

Hired the van for two weeks out and back to Christchurch. Loved the whole experience. We ended up leaving the bed permanently rigged. Bit of a faff otherwise. Few minor items were dealt with quickly by Maui and needed to replace the battery in the CO monitor to stop it beeping every 10 seconds with flat battery. Other than that the holiday was terrific.

Absolutely LOVED it.. very clean, sheets and blankets all nice and clean. Pick up was easy PRICE WAS AMAZING and affordable hopefully they stay that price for NZers so we can travel our country more often. Perfect amount of room for 4 kids and 2 adults.. comfy beds and crockery set out great. 1 thing though - I panicked a little not being able to find the key lock box at 6am in the morning so I had to leave keys in the camper and my anxiety went through the roof thinking of how safe it was .. maybe label the box key return I did look around but frantically so apologies if I did miss the box there was one with key to unlock I tried and no luck. So easy to drive and comfortable to drive. Overall 10/10

We really enjoyed touring the South Island in our Maui 6 berth campervan and would do it again. Pickup Experience (8/10) - The agency was easy to find and checkin very slick with no wait time - the handover is very quick so make sure you preview the THL videos before the pickup in case you have any questions. They forgot to add the bike rack but this was rectified quickly. This agency has a shop too with all sorts of great campervan extras if you need them. Driver Experience (10/10) - The Mercedez engine is a workhorse and easily coped with the South Island roads. There are lots of driver assistants built into the navigation system and instrument cluster which come in handy like a speed limiter, hairpin bend warnings, speed zone warnings, and even a hidden crosswind assist which worked remarkably well in one case! The cabin generates a lot of noise, especially on older roads so buy a roll of rubber drawer liner to place under the pans, kettle etc which are loosely secured. The biggest clanging noise came from the microwave plate so we removed it and stored it in a teatowel whilst driving. You will need a USB-C to Lightning cable for Apple phones in the driver cockpit. Passenger Experience (7/10) - Our two passengers sat in the seats located behind the driver. The seats are comfy, but worth taking a cushion for the longer trips. The seatbelt anchor straps are quite long so the buckle can be uncomfortable for kids. We left the table setup all the time so passengers could play card games etc during our long driving sections (although unsure if this is recommended), there is no beading on the table edge to stop things from sliding around so we attached a plastic tub to the table top with 3M strips to hold stuff like pens, cards and drink bottles. There is lots of cabin noise whilst driving so its difficult to talk with the driver from here without using hand gestures. Sleeping Experience (8/10) - There is plenty of bedding and towels provided. There is a good size double bed at the rear which takes a bit of getting used to, if you are more than 6ft 2inch you will struggle to sleep comfortably though. The other two beds are somewhere between a large single and a double so are perfect for two kids but only one adult. With practice making-up the beds takes 10 mins per bed and 10 mins to put each away each day. The overhead bed stays out permanently and also provides a good hangout for kids. The window blinds are very good allowing you to sleep in if you like. The diesel heater keeps the cabin set at a sleeping temperature of your liking, but there's an extra electric heater if you need it. Living Experience (8/10) - It takes a little co-operation, patience and courtesy to be able to move around in the living area, eventually this becomes second nature. There are lots of main and reading lights to use. The insect netting on the windows and doors are very good at keeping out the sandflies especially useful when you need some fresh air. The toilet spins on its axis so you can sit comfortably, the shower is pretty cramped but has good water pressure. You need to switch on the LPG for the water heater to work though. We would recommend using the holiday park showers and their toilets for number twos whenever possible. Unfortunately there are limited (2) USB charging points so buy yourself a couple of power adapter with additional USB charging ports. The mains power sockets will only operate when connected to a powered site. Dining Experience - There is plenty of storage space for cooking ingredients, although buy some tubs to help keep the little things organised and from sliding about. The worktops are a good size, and the LPG stove is very good, we even cooked pizza under the grill. Our sink didn't have a plug but this wasn't so bad as we used the holiday park facilities mostly. Most campervan sites are not level so be prepared for an uneven worktop and dining table, we saw some experienced campers use ramps to level out their campervan, these would be a great edition for Maui to provide with every campervan.

Super efficient and friendly pick up and drop off experience. The 6 Berth Maui was like new, spotless and drove beautifully. Everything is supplied and we were so glad to have a Camper instead of a tent in the torrential rain in the middle of our holiday. Set up and pack down was easy and fast - the awning is brilliant for both rain and sun shelter. 100% would recommend and will do again asap.
