Motorhome rental: lots to see and do
Nelson is one of the most beautiful places on the South Island of New Zealand and renting a campervan in Nelson gives you plenty of holiday options. You’ll enjoy the freedom to stop when and where you choose and make use of some of the relaxing camping spots on offer.
Motorhomes solve two of the biggest costs associated with planning a vacation: finding transportation and reserving accommodation. With a motorhome, you have transportation to go where you want to go, a place to cook, a bathroom, and most importantly, a place to rest your head after a busy day of sightseeing. It’s great value for money and gives you the freedom and flexibility to travel on your own schedule.
When you book a campervan rental in Nelson, you are in charge of your own vacation. If you find a place you like, you can stay for another day or two. Instead of sleeping in a motel, you can find a picnic area or campsite by a river and enjoy the natural beauty that the Nelson region has to offer.
Known as New Zealand’s sun capital, Nelson has everything from mountains to beaches, as well as handicrafts, quirky cafes, vineyards and a variety of outdoor activities. If you like museums and galleries, Nelson has an unusual selection to choose from, including the Hoglund Art in Glass Studio and Gallery, which is one of the iconic attractions of the city. Another delight is the WOW Museum, featuring wearable art pieces from New Zealand’s national awards, as well as a world-class collection of rare and classic cars.
When you’re ready to venture out of the city, renting a campervan in Nelson can start you on a journey across the South Island. You can choose your own itinerary to visit places like Westport with its long history of mining, the thermal pools of Hanmer Springs, and the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers. Other great South Island experiences include Haast’s jet boating and skiing in Queenstown. Continue on to Christchurch and travel further south to Southland if you have plenty of time. Then return via Kaikoura for a whale watching experience that will take your breath away.
If you don’t have enough time to get around the South Island, you can hire a campervan in Nelson and travel around the scenic upper part of the South Island. Here you can find the Abel Tasman National Park, which has much to offer visitors of all fitness levels. But if you want to rest, stop at one of the beautiful unspoilt beaches for as long as you like. With a motorhome, you are the boss.
