A clever compromise between space and drivability, this motorhome is perfect for those feeling less confident about driving a bigger vehicle. It can tuck into a standard parking space and navigate more technical roads with ease. Good things really do come in small packages!
At just 6 metres, this motorhome feels like a car on the road and around town. Step inside and you’ll find a comfortable ready-made double bed, a bathroom with shower and toilet and a lounge spacious enough to stretch your legs after a long day of adventuring. It’s all about optimising the small footprint with clever space-saving ideas without compromising on style and comfort.
Every Wilderness motorhome is a premium German designed and manufactured vehicle suitable for travel in all seasons. Each comes fitted with double-glazed windows, full insulation, heating, air conditioning in the cab, roof vents and latched windows with insect screens.

Our Wilderness campervans have everything you need to travel comfortably included in the base price, with no extra charges for basics like bedding or kitchen equipment. We’ve even got you covered for making your morning coffee. Here’s what’s included in your hire:
Sheets, duvets (doonas), blankets, and pillows to keep you cosy and clothes hangers for when you unpack.
A full gas bottle, plus crockery, cutlery, cups, glasses, bowls, pots, pans, and cooking utensils. A coffee plunger and kettle will set you up for the morning. There’s also a dish cloth and brush, tea towels, dustpan and brush, and a fire extinguisher.
Bath towels (as many as you’d like), toilet paper roll, water refilling hose, and toilet chemicals.
Standard insurance with an excess of NZ$7500. You can reduce this even further with one of our liability reduction options for extra peace of mind.
A handy kit for treating minor cuts, scrapes, or sprains. (Note: a small fee will apply if opened).
Pick up your free SIM card with your motorhome. You can indicate how many SIM cards you want in your My Booking page.
We’ll pick you up from the airport or your airport hotel at the beginning of your hire and drop you off again at the end.
We’re there if you need us with our 24-hour roadside assistance service.
Unlike many other campervan companies, we don’t have road restrictions, so go ahead and take that road less travelled. Our standard insurance covers you on conservation campsite access roads and all other named roads (sealed or unsealed).
The free Wilderness NZ app helps give you the confidence to explore the country well off-the-beaten-track. It’s ideal for planning where you want to park up each night on your journey. Download Wilderness NZ from the App Store or Google Play. Also, check out our top 10 travel app suggestions.
You won’t find any additional charges for extra drivers, cleaning, or one-way hire.
All our rentals include comprehensive liability reduction options with your daily hire. This covers accidental damage to the motorhome and public liability, so we encourage you to be adventurous (but not negligent or irresponsible).
The included Standard liability option has a NZ$7500 excess (or deductible), but we also offer a few additional liability reduction options for added peace of mind.

Just as the name suggests, the Compact 2 motorhome is smaller than our other motorhomes. That’s not to say that it’s cramped. Just like all the motorhomes in our fleet, it’s wider than a campervan and has a permanent made up bed (rather than a lounge that converts to a bed). When it comes to relaxing, it has a separate lounge upfront. The captain’s chairs in the cab swivel round to give you extra seating options.
The Compact 2 motorhome can take a small suitcase in the storage compartment under the bed. However, we strongly recommend you bring your gear in soft bags that take up less space.
The Compact 2 motorhome is at home on New Zealand’s narrow and winding roads. At just 6 metres long, its compact body makes navigating technical roads easy. In fact, it drives just like a car.
We don’t have any road restrictions here at Wilderness. That’s why we’re called Wilderness - because we want you to head for the road less travelled. We just ask that you don’t drive on any surface that may damage the motorhome see Rental Terms and Conditions.
Yes, all our motorhomes are fully set up so you can hit the road with minimal fuss. And these are all included in your daily rental rate. Just bring your own clothes, books and toys and, of course, your camera (or phone) so you can capture all the remarkable memories you are going to make.
No, none of our motorhomes come with microwave ovens. That’s because microwave ovens only work when hooked up to mains power at a commercial campsite. Our motorhomes are designed specifically for camping without a power hook up.
You can get a good deal on the Compact 2 at any time of year if you book well in advance. The lowest daily rental rates are during the off peak period which goes from May to September. You can explore the prices for a Wilderness motorhome on your preferred travel dates here.
It’s not difficult at all to empty the toilet cassette. You can watch our short “how to” video before your holiday. When you’re on tour, just use the super helpful app to find a dump station at a commercial campsite, gas station, or other handy location.
Our motorhome selector will take you on a journey to find the best solution for the experience your after.
