It will be easy to fall in love with Frankie. She is a well loved classic vintage 1966 Franklin Caravelle caravan, singing with retro beachy, boho vibes ready to tow away to your preferred destination. Once set up mornings can be enjoyed with an espresso in bed and then you can cook up a storm for your day ahead. Relax on the beach with a book or magazine, go exploring and then head back to Frankie for sunset drinks, listening to some vinyl under the stars. She has a simple and easy setup with her original canvas awning and striped frill that slides into place and is supported by her timber poles and ropes to give you an outdoor space that can be either open sided or fully enclosed. Frankie comes with vintage outdoor furniture that completes the setting. Inside she has a front-style café dining table to the left that converts to a cozy double bed and has 2 single beds/lounges to the right separated by a curtain. She has plenty of storage internally with a large wardrobe, over head cupboards, and under bed drawers. All windows except one open up for ventilation and have flyscreens including the pop-up roof vent and door. Frankie comes well equipped with all the creature comforts to make your stay memorable and relaxing. She has glassware, cocktail shaker, crockery, cutlery, coffee maker, chopping boards, serving platters, fridge, basic pantry items and appliances, portable fan, BBQ and gas bottle, awning, picnic basket, outdoor furniture, family games, books, magazines, vintage look turntable/radio and a classic record collection to complete the vintage vibe. Frankie can accommodate comfortably either a family of 4 with 2 adults and 2 children; or a romantic getaway for 2 adults; or a fun getaway for up to 3 adult friends. Be sure to follow her on Instagram and tag her during your stay @frankie.the.vintage.caravan #frankiethevintagecaravan

    Had a lovely trip down to Burrill Pines meeting up with our family. Frankie was very comfortable and her retro style brought back happy memories of childhood holidays. Thanks Penelope

    Frankie is a beautiful little caravan in very good condition. Great air flow, sleeping very comfortable, and Penny has decked it out with fantastic modern and retro comforts that made the holiday very enjoyable.
