Hi, I'm Melissa

November 7, 2025

Melissa was very helpful, kind and generous with her time, she absolutely went above and beyond to ensure my trip was the best it could possibly be. Nothing was too much trouble. Nora the Explorer was an excellent companion, drove well, great fuel economy and was comfortable, warm and cosy. Nora came well equipped with all the necessary practical gear you might need from table, camp chairs and portable cooker to all the essential kitchen equipment plus some thoughtful food supplies to get you started. I had a 16 day lap of Tassie enjoying the best adventures and the most spectacular scenery coast, farmland and mountains sometimes all the one day! I would absolutely recommend hiring Nora from Melissa, a definite 10 out of 10!

We absolutely loved Nora and her owner, Melissa. All communication, before and during rental was top notch. The van worked great for our party of three and had all basic necessities for our three weeks of camping around Tassie. Nora did not let us down in any way. The provided linens and towels were clean and comfy. We loved Melissa so much we thought of her as a friend from day one. We highly recommend renting Nora from Melissa. You wont regret it.

I had a great trip and the van was the perfect choice for it

We had a lovely time with Nora, perfect van for a 4 day trip for 4 people. Melissa left plenty of stuff for us to use on our trip (oil, instant coffee, aluminum foil, salt, etc.) which was super helpful and also lots of tips on places to visit during our trip. Super recommended for anyone looking to explore Tassy with friends.

This was an incredibly last minute decision for me- and one of the best I made! Melissa was great at providing info and was prompt on communication. I had no plans so she gave me an endless list of ideas of things to see and do. I was took her advice and headed to a camp ground where I could watch the sunrise over the ocean every morning from bed. What an absolute treat. An absolutely magical getaway and a wonderful way to explore Tas! Thanks so much again :)

We had an exceptionally beautiful experience with Nora the Explorer! Getting to know Melissa and her Family was so great and the communication, openness and support was just perfect! Even though we drove on the left side of the road for the first time, it was easy to handle the Van, as it is very compact and has all the modern features like rear-view camera. Melissa provided everything you need for camping and helped with itineraries and all the questions we had. Thanks a lot for everything!!! We would totally book it again!
