EXCELLENT Based on 71 reviews Posted on Google Jack Taylor19 May 2026 Our 3rd trip with Piwiwiwi and we love them. The vans are such a great layout, the bed is huge and it comes with everything you need for an amazing trip exploring New Zealand. No big branding on the van so you blend in with the locals and very easy to drive. The vans are the perfect size, not too big so you are able to park easily and get to the good spots. We explored both islands over 8 weeks and we were so sad to hand the van back at the end of our trip. Thank you Nick for the warm welcome and we hope to see you again soon!Posted on Google Chris Murray12 May 2026 This is a great small family owned business. It was a pleasure working with them. They have loads of local knowledge to help you plan your trip. Their vans are big enough to cook and sleep in, but small enough to easily park at the grocery store. They build the vans themselves and they are cleverly laid and kitted out, easy to drive, and simple to use. Highly recommend. I would use these guys again!!Posted on Google Matt12 May 2026 We thoroughly enjoyed our time in a van hired from Piwiwiwi. We travelled for 6 weeks total to both islands and wish we had even more time! Nick was always quick to respond and of great assistance throughout. Highly recommend. We look forward to returning one day for round 2!Posted on Google Loes Mantel23 April 2026 Wat hebben we genoten van de Toyota Hiace campervan op het Zuidereiland. Nick van Piwiwiwi kwam ons ophalen bij het hotel. Dus hoefden we niet zelf een taxi te regelen en bracht ons ook zonder moeite naar de luchthaven. Heel vriendelijk en welkom. Nick nam uitgebreid de tijd om alles uit te leggen over de camper en gaf goede route tips. Met de slogan; It’s a crime to drive more than 2 hours :) De camper zelf heeft een goede wegligging en reed daardoor makkelijk. Je kon parkeren op gewone parkeerplekken voor boodschappen. Handig voor onervaren camperrijders zoals wij. Alles zeer praktisch ingericht. De backpacks konden mooi opgeruimd worden in de bovenbak boven het slaapgedeelte. Hierdoor had je echt veel ruimte binnenin. Vooral als het weer het niet toe laat om buiten te zitten, is deze ruimtelijke beleving heel fijn. Kortom wij hebben enorm genoten met deze camper op het Zuidereiland. Groet Loes & MaartenPosted on Google Jordan Jones3 April 2026 The best decision we made for our 3 week road trip around the south island! The camper was clean and had everything we needed included. No issues at all with the camper, it was clearly well maintained and ran wonderfully! Nick was fantastic with advice from start to finish. I would highly recommend and will be choosing Piwiwiwi for future NZ trips! Thanks so much. Jordan and Vinnie.Posted on Google Felix Gutestam19 February 2026 Fantastic service. Homebuilt vans by Nick himself who was incredibly helpful throughout the whole trip. No troubles whatsoever with the van. 10/10 would recommend.Posted on Google Tania18 February 2026 From the first inquiry to the drop off at the airport Nick was so great. No question was too minor he wouldn't answer and he is full of knowledge. Our PiwiWiwi van was exactly what we needed for 4 weeks travel, it was equipped with everything and the extra fluffy blanket for the chilli nights was an added luxury. Perfect size to drive through the city and be able to park in open carparks and easy enough to set up and pack up the bed each night. Being able to cook ourselves kept the costs down and allowed us to eat healthier than we would have if we went out for every meal. Thanks Nick, will definitely book with you again next visitPosted on Google Sarah Carr-Locke18 February 2026 Highly recommend this campervan company. The small size of the family business made the experience much more personal. Nick was helpful and friendly. Van had a lot of great details and thoughtful touches. Only negative is that you might want extra mattress padding if you have older hips :)Posted on Google Jaap Gerrits9 February 2026 Onze ervaring met de campervan van Piwiwiwi was fantastisch!!! We hebben 3 weken rond gereisd in de fantastische camper die van alle gemakken is voorzien!! Ik kan het iedereen alleen maar aanraden. Contact met Nick is super, helder en transparant. 10/10!!!Posted on Google Nehaan Gigani14 January 2026 We roadtripped the south island in 30 days in a Piwi Wiwi camper. Nick picked us up and showed and told us everything we needed to know. This was great because we were first time campers. The camper itself was amazing and we never felt like it lacked any space or appliances. We could always reach Nick with any questions which also made our trip feel safe. Overall the very personal experience you get will always make us recommend Piwi Wiwi over a larger company. You can feel the love they put into the company and into each camper!
