Roseanne the Campervan |

In order to fully experience the nature of the South Island of New Zealand, public transportation won't cut it. You either have to join a guided tour or rent your own transport. Though getting a car and staying in New Zealand's overpriced hostels is totally fine, for the ultimate amount of freedom you can rent a campervan, which serves as your transport AND housing. And, if you choose to pay a bit more, you can get your own kitchen and even a toilet and shower.
The purportedly cheapest camper rental in NZ is Wicked Campers, but we chose to spend a little extra for a roomier and more well-equipped Britz van, which we lovingly named Roseanne (Rosie for short). With plenty of free or super-cheap places to camp around the island, we and Rosie had an awesome two weeks together.
For 52 years, we have published the world’s favorite budget travel guides, written entirely by students and updated every year. With pen and notebook in hand and a few changes of underwear stuffed in our backpacks, we spend months roaming the globe in search of travel bargains.
