Seeing New Zealand with a motorhome is becoming a popular choice for honeymooners with one New Zealand motorhome hire company reporting that more than 50% of rentals for its Bolero line of luxury motorhomes come from couples. on honeymoon

The trend for honeymoon couples to travel to New Zealand by motorhome is partly due to the new range of luxury motorhomes that are now available to hire. These ultra-high-spec “campers” mean that camping, once too big of a commitment for many, is now a viable option. These motorhomes meet the needs of those who want to get away from it all and have a luxury vacation at the same time.

Statistically, more than fifty percent of the demand for the “South Island Travel” Bolero motorhome model comes from newlyweds on their honeymoon, with a vast majority of them coming from the EU and beyond. On average, they will spend eighteen days traveling around the South Island, which is barely adequate time to see and experience the main points of interest that the South Island has to offer.

New Zealand has a lot to offer honeymooners, particularly the South Island.

The diversity of the South Island’s geography and the variety of holiday experiences available are not as well known outside of New Zealand. An immense range of mountains stretches from Fiordland in the south, across this spectacularly picturesque island to the Abel Tasman National Park in the far north with its golden sandy beaches. Beautiful lakes are scattered throughout, many a vivid aquamarine, others reflecting the magnificent mountains that rise from their desolate shores. Then there are the west coast glaciers, windswept pristine and deserted beaches, world-class wineries, abundant marine life with dolphins, whales and seals living along the Kaikoura coastline and the chance to see rare species. and endangered dolphins and birds. Fun is also on offer with the adrenaline pumping activities New Zealand has become famous for, such as bungee jumping, jet boating and white water rafting. For the less adventurous, the South Island has scenic cruises in Milford Sound and helicopter rides over the mountains. The South Island also has a multitude of ski fields and some of the most reliable snow in the southern hemisphere.

Traveling around New Zealand by campervan is a practical way to tour the country because of the flexibility it offers. In the height of the tourist season (December to March) traditional accommodations such as hotels, motels and hostels must be reserved well in advance, especially in the main holiday resorts and on the southern tip of the West Coast. As a result, travelers have to keep a fixed schedule; but those who travel by motorhome are free of this rigidity because they can use more abundant camping areas.

There are plenty of great places to camp to spend the night or even stay for several days. It is quite easy to find places to camp on the beach, in the woods or with great views towards the mountains.

New Zealand is a prominent country for traveling by motorhome. It is natural and pure, with scenic surprises around every corner. The luxury motorhomes now offered by rental companies allow travelers to enjoy their nights up close with nature while still having convenience and comfort. They give travelers flexibility in their travel itinerary. These are undoubtedly some of the reasons why newlyweds choose to hire campervans for their honeymoon in New Zealand.
