Creating remarkable experiences for more than 15 years

Making every Wilderness experience a remarkable one is our guiding philosophy. We call it The Wilderness Way. It’s our shared commitment and our way of thinking and acting that makes each guest experience uniquely memorable.

The Wilderness Way starts back at the beginning - with the founders. Our story is the story of a family business built on shared values, experiences, attitudes and aspirations. These elements formed the foundation of what we believe and how we do things.

You get a motorhome that was designed to be owned, not to be rented.

The motorhomes in our rental fleet are the same makes and models that we sell to Kiwis who are looking for that comfortable, luxury-feel, modern stylish set of wheels to explore their homeland. Our motorhomes are a cut above the average rental vehicle because we want you to be able to explore New Zealand in the same style and comfort that discerning Kiwis who own their motorhomes are used to.
