I am currently writing this review while still experiencing jet lag from our trip. :) My husband and I spent 9 days in the South Island of New Zealand on the Glider 4 and we can't say enough about it. After doing a lot of research on which motorhome to pick, we stumbled upon Wildernesss (which wasn't part of the "umbrella" searches we had originally conducted). The motorhomes looked modern, new and spacious so we were intrigued. The customer service was what hooked us. I had a few questions prior to booking, as this was the first time we had rented an RV and the wilderness team was prompt, knowledgable and extremely helpful. Throughout booking, planning and up until the day of arrival, the Wilderness team made us feel welcomed, informed and ready for our trip. I can't speak highly enough about the Glider 4. Although a 4 person motorhome, it was just my husband and I, and we really enjoyed the extra space. The lounge in the back with the three windows was my absolute favorite, making it a dream spot for snacks, meals and drinks while looking out at the amazing scenery that New Zealand has to offer. The motorhome drove very smoothly and wasn't too much for the winding roads of New Zealand. The mechanics of the motorhome (to include the propane, electric water heater/interior heating, grey water, fresh water and black tank) were all very easy to get used to. Wilderness provides manuals and a USB of videos on the TV if things get too much. We also upgraded to include the WiFi and were very pleased with it. The price to be able to communicate with loved ones near and far, the access to maps, reviews and everything else we've become so dependent on was great. We only lost WiFi twice, once in Milford Sound (which the Wilderness team gave us a heads up on) and the second time in the middle of a mountain range but only for a little bit. Other than that, we were up and running! Thank you Wilderness Team for all that you do and we can't wait to come back and visit again. For anyone who is looking to rent a motorhome, Wilderness is the way to go! read more

Just returned home from a 15-day trip to New Zealand with 12 of those days on the South Island (sadly not enough time for us!). I can't say enough good things about Wilderness Motorhomes. We rented a Hobby campervan for our time on the South Island. Every interaction with Wilderness was pleasant. I had a few questions/emails prior to arriving in NZ and each of my inquiries were responded to quickly and pleasantly. We used the NZFrenzy travel guide that was available to download prior to our travels. Using this travel guide made our decisions about what and where we wanted to go while in NZ so much easier. Once we arrived in Christchurch we were quickly picked up at the airport by James who was friendly and had plenty of good travel tips for us. We went through the "check-in" process quickly and were on our way in no time. The Wilderness team checked in with us several times during our trip to make sure everything was going well, which it was. Their emails were not annoying in any way, instead it was a nice reassurance to know that someone was there in case we had any issues! The return of the motorhome was easy. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a campervan rental. The team is professional and so pleasant to deal with. The campervan was super as well. It was clean, had plenty of storage, and was a dream to drive! Thank you Wilderness!!! read more

The staff at Wilderness are fantastic. We had to change our booking several times and it was never a problem. All of them were very helpful. The pick up of the vehicle at Christchurch was easy and quick. Again, the staff were very helpful. The van itself was excellent. It felt like new and was set up with everything we needed. You felt like you were holidaying in your own van rather than a rental. Our experience with Wilderness was exceptional. We will definitely be using them again. read more
