About Wilderness Motorhomes

Wilderness Motorhomes is a New Zealand motorhome rental company with a fleet built around one idea: a comfortable, fully equipped motorhome that anyone with a normal car licence can drive. Every vehicle is a Fiat Ducato with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and every layout has its own bathroom with a separate shower area and a cassette flush toilet, plus a gas hob, a fridge with freezer, heating, full insulation and double-glazed windows.

The range runs from 6-metre motorhomes for two to 7.4-metre layouts for four. Couples can choose between a double, a queen, a twin bed that converts into a king, or the extra space of the Double for 2; families and friends can choose between the Double for 4, the Twin/King for 4 and The Suite. Beds use memory foam mattresses on slatted frames.

Wilderness picks up in Auckland, at 11 Pavilion Drive in Airport Oaks next to the airport, and in Christchurch, and one-way hire between the two cities is included. On CampervanPlanet you can compare it with the other campervan and motorhome companies in New Zealand or browse campervan rental in New Zealand.
