What Our Guests Say

β€œEverything went perfectly. The communication and service were very professional I highly recommend it. The campervan was in perfect condition. The welcome and handover were excellent and very pleasant. The campervan was prepared with great attention to detail, with thoughtful little touches that were much appreciated. Thank you very much for everything.”

Philibert

Philibert

β€œShane and Hayley were very helpful and responsive to our questions and preparation in the lead up to arriving in Christchurch. The van unexpectedly came stocked with NZ branded goodies and they even threw in an extra blanket for a cold snap during our trip. Everything was in good working condition and the battery life allowed us to freedom camp for days at a time. Would hire again!”

Justin

Justin

β€œThe van is incredible. It was exactly as advertised and provided us with an amazing holiday. It looked very nice and everything worked perfectly for our family of 4. The host, Shane, is just as incredible. Super friendly and nice and a complete pleasure to meet. Thanks Shane!”

Hannes

Hannes

β€œShane at SpringLight was very helpful on the choice of motorhome and Stan the Van performed brilliantly over the hire period. Shane was clear with the vehicle handover and on return and very helpful with motels and campsites recommendations. I would have no hesitation in recommending SpringLight for touring New Zealand!”

Keith

Keith

β€œGreat all issues sorted with Shane promptly would use this Company again!”

Sharon

Sharon

β€œWe chose SpringLight Motorhomes to book our motorhome holiday as you can select which van you like, as opposed to being what is available from other motorhome companies. We had Felix who was brand new to Shane at SpringLight. It was spotless and neat and tidy with gas cooker, gas 3 hob top, good cupboard space, large fridge, compact shower and separate loo and a comfy bed. We loved the bug screens! We made use of the heater on a couple of nights, we were able to phone Shane when we needed assistance with getting the heating going and he was very prompt to help us! Overall an excellent van, easy to drive and park. We would definitely book via SpringLight again in the future.”

Steve

Steve

β€œWorking with SpringLight was fantastic. An exceptional company with spotless and well maintained vehicles. Customer service is exceptional. We were referred to Springlight by a friend who also had a great experience. Shane is immediately responsive and has a lot of knowledge about campervan/rv rental in NZ. They are a small company with personalized care. I have heard it can be very impersonal with the bigger companies. Shane met us at the airport and spent a lot of time with us getting to know the van. He was VERY thorough so we felt comfortable driving away. Also we did not have to wait hours in line to get our van. Another HUGE plus is that the rental company logo is not plastered all over the van. There is a small logo on the back. So you aren't marked as a tourist as you travel around the country. Shane also enjoyed getting pictures of us on our travels. I highly recommend Springlight to anyone travelling to the South Island of New Zealand.”

Martina

Martina

β€œSuch a fantastic holiday with Kassy. No issues with anything along the way and due to our comprehensive handover we were prepared for any eventuality!! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to explore the south island”

Molly

Molly

β€œWe had a fantastic trip in Little Lucy; the layout was perfect for a couple. The Van was clean, modern and well equipped. Shane's communication was thorough and made for a trouble free pick up and drop off.”

Peter

Peter

β€œWe had an excellent time, Shane from SpringLight has sorted an issue we had with the batterie very efficient and always replied very quickly. The van was clean and perfect for us for our 5 weeks of travelling. Handover and Return worked all very well. We can recommend this camper and the rental company.”

Gerhard

Gerhard

β€œWe had a great holiday driving around the South Island. The van was comfortable and travelled well. Appreciated all the extras including coffee plunger and cooking equipment plus a few surprise treats which were welcomed. The Duchess handled the roads well and had a good engine. The scenery was amazing and there are lots of good memories. Thanks to Shane for his help.”

Calvin

Calvin

β€œShane was a very good host very respectable and very flexible with getting us into another caravan as the one we originally booked unfortunately got damaged however, Shane came in with a good alternative. Legend!”

Ethan

Ethan

β€œShane was friendly and helpful to us. The van descriptions on camplify exactly matched what we got. Upon on arrival, everything was clean, tidy and ready to hit the road. As a bonus, the kiwi snacks he put in the fridge for us were delicious surprise!”

Reza

Reza

β€œWe had a wonderful South Island holiday in our Skylark campervan. Shane from SpringLight was always easy to contact when needed, helpful and friendly, and his pickup/orientation/drop-off service was excellent. Van was comfortable, well equipped and reliable, and we were very happy campers.”

Michele Audrey

Michele Audrey

β€œEleanor voldeed werkelijk aan alle eisen. Fijne camper om mee op reis te gaan. Alleen de kookpotjes mochten wat groter zijn.”

Marjan

Marjan

β€œAmazing camper very new, clean, and extremely well maintained. Everything worked perfectly and the vehicle was very comfortable for our trip. Each bed had a very comfortable bamboo mattress, and the linen and bedding were super fresh and clean, which made sleeping in the camper really pleasant. Communication with SpringLights was excellent. They were very reliable, responsive, and flexible, and communication was always quick and easy. The instructions provided at the beginning of the rental, together with the short instructional videos, were extremely valuable and very informative. Overall, we had a 100% positive experience. I would definitely book again through Camplify with this company and highly recommend both the camper and SpringLights to anyone planning a trip.”

Michal

Michal

β€œSimple and easy collection of the Tiki-Tourer from Shane. As a first time mo-ho hirer - handover was a tad nerve wracking due to all the warnings about what could go wrong, break or snap off, but after a couple of days all was good and we had a fantastic time discovering the simply beautiful South Island. The van was easy to drive, incredibly well specified with everything you'd need and spotlessly clean. We both enjoyed covering over 1,800 km effortlessly in a week. We will definitely be back to the South Island and would thoroughly recommend Shane at Springlight and the Tiki-Tourer.”

Paul

Paul

β€œMyself and three of my friends hired this van for a week long trip around the South Island of New Zealand. It was absolutely fantastic. The van had everything we need for the week and it was a great way to see the whole of the island. Shane, the owner of Eleanor, met me for the handover and orientation on our first day of the trip. He was very thorough and took his time to explain how everything worked in the van which was superb. We had a couple of issues during the week but he was super easy to get ahold of over the phone and everything was sorted quickly and efficiently. The van itself is relatively straightforward to drive. It is very comfy for four adults and comes well equipped with everything you might need for your travels. We hired the BBQ and used it several nights on our adventure. I cannot thank Shane enough for all of his help over the week. We all had such a fantastic experience renting the van and would highly recommend it to anyone keen on seeing more than just one or two places of the country.”

Matthew

Matthew

β€œShane was very helpful and the camper was very good and clean. Comfortable with everything that we needed”

Jeff

Jeff

β€œReally great Motorhome from SpringLight. No hesitation in giving them 5 stars in all departments. Thoroughly enjoyed our 2.5 week tour of South Island. Super helpful including pick up and drop off.”

Ralph

Ralph

β€œWe enjoyed an excellent vacation on the South Island while touring in the Skylark motorhome. It was spacious enough for three adults and provided a very comfortable base for DOC sites and holiday park campsites that we used. The features and power of the Ford Roller Team motorhome was great for us. In our opinion, it is an excellent choice for drivers with experience with larger camping units such as motorhomes and trailer/caravans.”
