"My wife and I had always wanted to tour New Zealand, but it was daunting once we had decided that a campervan was the best option, because we had never done that before. Furthermore, which company should we go for? We did not choose New Zealand Frontiers because it was the cheapest, especially if you wanted to start in Auckland and end in Christchurch. What drew us to New Zealand Frontiers, however, was the friendly, but efficient, attentive and no nonsense communications of, and with, its proprietor, Kenrick Mitchell. These removed any concerns, real or imaginary, and convinced us that we would be in safe hands. Neither the country nor New Zealand Frontiers disappointed us during our trouble free three weeks touring. We were picked up from our Auckland hotel and given a thorough introduction to our vehicle, as well as very helpful tips about routes, sights and where to stay etc. We did 4391kms, and experienced no problems with the van. Indeed, I was pleasantly surprised at the sprightliness and acceleration of the 6 speed diesel engine. Both the driving position and the spacious bed are comfortable. The van was delivered to us spotlessly clean, is cleverly designed and well equipped, although we chose to use the cooking, washing, showering and toilet facilities of the camp sites, rather than those of our mobile home. It's hard to think of any grievances: the windscreen demister is inefficient; the fridge occasionally burst open on very bendy roads if it was full of heavy milk and water bottles! The ingenious GPS based Kruse commentary on NZ is very informative and interesting, although if you use it regularly, you too may be driven to distraction by hearing the same Maori myth for the 4th time! At the end of our adventure, Kenrick was just as attentive and hospitable as at the outset, and true to his advertising, we have not been hit by extra charges - at least not yet! We would love to return to NZ, and if we did, I can see no reason why we wouldn't go with New Zealand Frontiers once more."
