Hi, I'm Jake

We had a great trip in Tilly, she was just what we wanted. Jake has put a lot of energy and love into the build and it shows throughout. Tilly is very well thought through with ideas and features which make the exploring and living experience very enjoyable. The use of space and functionality is fabulous. Jake is a cool guy and is very easy to talk to about any and everything van. His passion for van builds is very evident and it made our trip all that much more enjoyable. If you want a cozy home on wheels that has a super comfortable bed which doubles as a functional day-time office/couch, then Tilly is your gal! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a cool van life experience :)

We took Tilly down to Yarramalong for a great couple of days with friends. Jake has put so much skill and care into building this van. All the thoughtful details made the van really comfortable and manageable for the two of us. It's a simple but very clever set up that means you can just relax and enjoy your holiday. Jake is communicates really

Hildi was the perfect van for our short trip to the Sunny Coast. The van is well designed and comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed for self reliant camping. Jake was really helpful with regular and reliable communication and had some great tips on exploring the region. Handover was a breeze.

We had an awesome trip with Hildi. You can really see how much time, effort and love Jake put into the Van. Everything is so well thought out from the electrics and water hose to the storage space and bedding. The communication with Jake was very good, especially because we booked super spontaneously and everything was easy going. He gave us a lot of travel advice.

We had an amazing time traveling with Tilly. We had no problems with the van and everything was easy to use and find. Jake was very helpful and gave us a lot of tips for traveling and living on the road. We can highly recommend renting Tilly.

Amazing van, very thoughtfully built. Feels like a home away from home and has all the right features to make for a comfortable trip.

We had a perfect experience. First of all was Jake the perfect host, he helped us with some tips and tricks along the way, that really helped us. We have nothing but kind words to say about The Van Tilly and Jake. Tilly is just a little home where everything worked perfectly and has soul. It was our new Australien home, so thank you so much Jake for helping us get this experience that we will take with us for the rest of our lives.

My partner and I rented Hildi from Jake for a week, driving from Brisbane down the coast towards Byron Bay before heading back to Brisbane. Hildi was super clean, comfy and had everything we needed for cooking (even kitchen basics like spices and oil) and cleaning. Jake was easily contacted and always quick with his replies. We had a lovely week and definitely would hire from Jake again in the future! Thanks, Briar and Bernie
