Iconic Motorhomes - Customer Testimonials:

 "This was our 2nd camper van holiday in NZ and the 1st time we've use Iconic. We hired their Bolero model, which was just perfect for 2 people.
Right from the start we were dealing with Kelly who promptly answered all our emails before we arrived. The exceptionally great service from Kelly continued when we arrived in Christchurch. She couldn't do enough for us. If every business could have a Kelly we'd all be better off.
The camper was superbly presented and drove as well as it looked. Plenty of grunt to easily get up the mountain passes.
The internal fit out was top notch. No rattles on this van as everything was packed away properly. Our advice to new travellers is to take a good look at how everything is packed away and if you do the same you'll have no probs. Kelly suggested we take the tray and rack out of the oven and place it on the bed when travelling to prevent rattles which was a great tip.
All the insurance options were explained to us and we chose to take it all, including the tyre and windscreen cover. Am glad we did too as we did get a puncture and called the AA to come and fix it. My tip is that you do call the AA as the van is big and placing the jack correctly wasn't easy even for the qualified AA guy. We received the full refund for the tyre change and repair from the insurance.Freedom camping is definitely the way to go. To be able to have your very own travelling hotel with hot shower in the amazing wilderness of NZ's South Island is a truly great thing to experience. Particularly at the White Horse camping ground located near the Mt Cook Village, at the base of Mt Sefton. What an amazing place. We stayed an extra night than planned, which is what freedom camping is all about.
I can't fault the whole experience really. We're planning to return with some mates and to have a convoy tour, which will be a load of fun."

 "We hired an Iconic -  Bolero motorhome and absolutely loved every second of our time in it!  It was sparkling clean inside and out and brand new, we were only the second people to hire it. We were the envy of many in the campsites we went to and were tempted to tell people we owned it ourselves we were so proud of it!  We've already started looking into the price of them for later on in our lives!  We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Iconic Motorhomes to anyone out there looking to enjoy a road trip around beautiful NZ. The motorhomes are top notch - they have all the mod cons and really are a luxurious home away from home on wheels! My view of motorhomes had always been that they were cramped inside and annoyingly slow on the roads. But the Bolero had a lot of power and took to the hills with ease. It’s also very easy to drive for people like us who had never driven something of that size before. Inside was very roomy and tastefully decorated as well as having everything we needed. Kelly at Iconic Motorhomes is lovely to deal with and she was very good at explaining how everything worked before we took it on the road. Overall, it was the perfect way to spend a honeymoon! A huge thank you to Kelly and your team at Iconic Motorhomes"

 "We hired a Swift Bolero and picked it up at the Auckland Depot. It was all ready for us when we arrived and was spotlessly clean inside and out. Sina got us on the road in no time. We toured both islands and had a fantastic time. We checked out all the other Motorhomes on the road while we were touring and are so pleased we paid the extra cost to have the Bolero. It was great on fuel consumption and drove well with enough power up the mountain roads, freedom camping was so easy we loved every minute of our trip. The fixed rear bed is really comfy and the shower worked well. We hired a gas BBQ as an extra and we did all our cooking on the BBQ it was great."

 "We hired a motorhome to tour New Zealand a couple of years ago and said “Never Again!” 
But I found Iconic in a search for luxury motorhomes and we decided to give a camping holiday another go, as there were parts of New Zealand we hadn't seen and it’s such a great way to travel.  We had a great time - NZ never disappoints!  But I doubt we would have had such a lovely time if we hadn't had the Voyager motor home. It was really comfortable and felt just like driving a car, and was admired by many locals!  Everything in it is designed to give you a luxurious experience. Kelly at the Christchurch depot was kind and friendly to us, particularly after we damaged the door!   We were so worried but she quickly put out minds at rest. I believe it is essential to take out the “No Worries” insurance - you really never know what may happen. I would whole heartedly recommend this company and this motorhome."

"Iconic Motorhomes offer the most professional service, excellent equipment and all backed up by experienced staff that care.
We have just had 3 weeks in New Zealand’s South Island and the Iconic “state of the art” motorhome performed faultlessly in every respect. Booking and paying for something overseas in advance is always a risk but I can assure you with these guys (namely Kelly) you can relax 100%.  What you book will be there as promised in showroom condition and they will bend over backwards to make sure your holiday goes well.

Nice people providing nice caring service, you simply can’t ask for more."

  "Thank you Kelly and team at Iconic Motor Homes for making our New Zealand - South Island holiday so easy. Communication was great and so was our motor home! The features are excellent and it truly is a little home away from home. Keep up the great product and service!"

Trudi and Neil Langford and Fabian Malignaggi, Australia

 "Our 14 day trip to New Zealand was one of the best vacations we have taken. One reason was the time we spent as a family in the Bolero. The space was comfortable and the time together, as we traveled, was enjoyable because we had lots of space to spread out. South Island Travel (Iconic Motor Homes New Zealand) was very helpful in offering suggestions regarding which options to hire and even suggested some activities and slightly different dates to help cut down on costs and crowds. Kelly made the paperwork process and getting familiar with the vehicle easy. While in the South Island Travel office, Kelly engaged our 13 and 10 year old boys in conversation about the trip so they could anticipate what to look forward to and also share their excitement at the end of the trip. The Bolero was very easy to drive, had reasonable fuel efficiency with plenty of power for mountain roads, stable in crosswinds and easy to park. I have recommended South Island Travel (Iconic Motor Homes NZ) too many of my friends and will continue to do so."

"Coming from a PERFECTLY flat place(florida), with no prior RV experience AND, being a fan of a quirky, funny,cool HBO show called flight of the conchords, I wasn't quite sure what to expect when we arrived at the CH office of ICONIC.... Well I am happy to report, my gf and I recieved exactly what was advertised; a cool, almost new campervan, loaded with amenities(I became very attached to the solid  ss steel french cafe press), and top notch customer service/logistics. Kelly, thanks for helping with the itenerary, and for escorting us out of town on the DREADED DAY ONE(rain!).... It was all good from there, particularly later in the day when the sun broke out over snow capped mountains, and pristine glacier fed lakes! Kay, my gf thanks you for hooking us up in the swanky hotel(btw, expedia claimed it was sold out!) at the end of the trip, AND my pocket book trully appreciated the substantial discount over the rack rate. We had a great time in NZ south Isle, most of it spent touring in the Swift. Campervanning  is the way to go, and Iconic is the company that will help you find your way in style, comfort, with quality equipment, AND treat you right.  Thanks all!

 "As this was our first experience with a motorhome, we were delighted with the Bolero. It has a well designed interior and the beds were very comfortable. Automatic transmission made the driving easy and the 3ltr capacity was much appreciated on the hills! "

"Family holiday with two year old aimed at seeing as much of the South island as possible in under four weeks. Must admit that we were full of questions from the day we started planning our trip and every time we contacted Iconic (then South Island travel) we got an immediate response that helped us in planning our trip. We will always use and recommend Iconic as the level of customer service and attention to detail was outstanding. The vehicle was brilliant, a Voyager van that exceeded our expectations and was our personal "home" on wheels from start to finish. We had the luxury of going where we wanted, when we wanted, so the fact that we loved our acccomodation was perfect. Already trying to find time to travel the North Island of NZ and we look forward to using an Iconic to do it in style. My advice to anyone considering a driving holiday in NZ is to give them a try, you wont be disappointed. Our best ever holiday thus far"

 "Well, we had an awesome time (again!) but this visit was spectacular. We very much enjoyed the trip and the Bolero is outstanding. As you may remember we also had to rent another motorhome on the north island... When you have spent a week in a Bolero... everything else... sucks. :-)I have attached a few photos for you! Thank you once again and we're looking forward to see you next time! Take care and we wish you a good time and strong business!"

Bolero experienced in March 2010

"We rented a Bolero in April 2010 and had an amazing holiday with our 3 year old daugter. We were very impressed with the service and motor home which was fitted with a child safety seat and almost everything needed for a young child - the level of attention to detail was impressive. It was easy to drive and operate and we had a fantastic time travelling around the South Island. We also received great advice on places to visit prior to picking up the motor home. Would definitely recommend Iconic Motor Homes and would use again. 18 months on our daughter stills asks if we can rent a motor home and do it all again! "

 "I would highly recommend Iconic Motorhomes to anyone, and would definately use them again.  The motorhome was spotlessly clean, very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Suprisingly easy to drive, and the envy of fellow campers everywhere we went."

"We rented our camper from Iconic in Christchurch from November 23 - December 10 2011.  This was our first time to rent a campervan... in short, it was fantastic and a really great way to see the South Island.  We were traveling with our 6 month old daughter and selected Iconic because the Voyager offered room for a car seat and somewhere for her to sleep.  Further, Kelly in Cristchurch was extrememly responsive to all of our questions.  Given that we received many compliments on our camper throughout our two weeks, my assumption is that they are more expensive than other options, but I feel we got very good value for the price.  Our camper was basically new (less than 2000 km) and we logged more than 4000 km with no complaints.  At the end of the trip, there were no hidden or added on costs (other than the mileage overage which was fully discussed at the beginning of the rental).  There was also no charge for the small idiot mark I added to the roof line since we had opted for the "no worries" insurance.  In short, a really great experience and I would highly recommend Iconic."

"Generally an excellent service end-to-end. The van was comprehensively equipped and perfect for 2 people - all we needed to do when we arrive was buy groceries and we were set. My wife was definitely reticent to embark on our first campervan holiday, being someone that enjoys the usual conveniences, and it was only thanks to your website that she agreed. She loved it and it was the perfect way to see NZ, with a little bit of luxury.
The highlight was Xmas day parked next to Haast beach. Swimming in the Tasman sea, a run on the beach, barbeque for dinner, a driftwood fire and then stargazing in the evening. To top it off, Dusky dolphins came swimming past before we left in the morning Perfect."

"The Voyager was an an excellent quality camper.  A dream to drive, would be a perfect motorhome for a couple wanting plenty of space.  It had heaps of storage space and was very well appointed.  The internal finishes were of a very high standard" 

Eric B (Australia)

It was our first time touring NZ and first time on a caravan; Iconic Motorhomes managed to made our NZ experience a most pleasant and memorable one. The Voyager was new and in very good condition, just as we have expected from the marketing materials gathered. The customer support services and tips particularly from Kelly was excellent and useful. Within a day or so, we were accustomed to the caravan and facilities available in the caravan and off to a wonderful trip. When we encountered midway a minor problem with the handbrake alarm going off for no reason, the technical guy on the phone was knowledgeable and together we resolved the unexpected electrical problem quickly; which would have otherwise marred a perfect holiday for the family. The fees were clearly stated and explained to us beforehand.  While the overall cost might be more expensive than others, what we got was definitely good value for money. We would gladly recommend Iconic Motorhomes to anyone who wants a premium experience in a luxury motorhome in the NZ"

"Everything was just perfect, many thanks to Iconic Motorhomes for a wonderful holiday experience.  We have enjoyed reliving our trip with friends and family, and will definitely recommend your company. Throughout our travels we saw no other motorhome which came near to our Bolero. (Apart from other Iconic motorhomes spotted who we talked to and all were in the same frame of mind).  Wishing Iconic All the very best for 2012.  We are looking forward to coming back in the future. :)"
