Podrick is a pop-top VW campervan and is very spacious. Podrick's engine is a 4 cylinder diesel, and with a six-speed manual transmission, provides for incredibly economical driving. You can expect between 700 and 1,000 kilometres from an 80-litre tank of diesel, depending on drving conditions etc. There is a reversing camera, as well as a hill assist for those troublesome hill take-offs. We have installed a new audio unit, which has Bluetooth as well as a USB connection, and plays decent sound. There is a portable dual gas cooker, a frying pan and saucepan, plates, bowls, cups, glasses and cutlery. There is plenty of storage for food in the fridge (which has a built-in freezer) and cupboards, and we have essentials like salt and pepper, a few spices, a few staples and, of course, coffee and tea. There is also an aero-press, decent coffee, and filters if you're enthused that way. The van has a water tank that holds approx. 60 litres of water, and there is an electric tap and sink in the van, plus a small shower tap at the rear, for a quick 'cold' rinse off. Solar panels mean you'll likely never have to worry about being off-grid. Plenty of great lighting and USB outlets for other devices and chargers. There is a very comfortable bed that is permanently set up. Full-coverage curtains allow for privacy, and there is a swivel passenger seat to increase space in the van when camping. There is also plenty of storage for clothes. There is a wind-out awning that is easy to use, two camp chairs, a cute card table and an outdoor battery lamp. We've also added a few extra things to enhance your travels, like: - The very fun game "Finska", - an extension lead to connect to 240V power, - plastic levelling wedges if you're not in a flat area, - keep cups, - first aid kit, - Beach towels and standard towels for showering.

    Podrick provided a very comfortable home for us while hiding away from the wet and cold Tassie weather. Communication with Andrew and Marion was very prompt and were able to help is with any questions we had along the way. We would recommend a holiday in Pods.

    We have just returned from the most wonderful 4 days in Poderick. Comfortable for both driving and sleep. Thoughtful touches included to make the adventures enjoyable and stress free. Excellent, prompt communication from the owners. Fuel economy that had to be seen to be believed. Off grid battery and solar setup allow for easy last minute bookings in unpowered sites as Poderick charges everything for you while you drive! Dont book anything else, Poderick has it all!

    Our holiday was perfect with Podrick! We had the best time in him and we couldnt have asked for a better van! Marion was so lovely and provided us with everything we couldve needed. We will definitely be back to visit again :)

We are Marion and Andrew, a couple deeply in love with the spirit of adventure and the stunning landscapes of lutruwita/Tasmania. While we are semi-retired, our lives remain full and vibrant juggling professional commitments, ongoing house renovations, and fulfilling family responsibilities, which include caring for an elderly parent and creating cherished memories with our adult children and two grandchildren. Our passion for exploring has led us to many hidden gems throughout this beautiful island, and although we can't hit the road as often as we'd like, we are thrilled to share our beloved campervan, Podrick, with fellow explorers. Podrick is not just a campervan to us; he's a gateway to unforgettable experiences and discoveries in the breathtaking scenery of lutruwita.
