    I loved my time traveling in the van. :) Some of the key highlights include the folding bed, which kept the space nice and clean. It was super easy to fold up and turn into seats, and the seats and cushions were super comfy too. It also had a diesel heater, which came in handy in places like Cradle Mountain. So I would highly recommend it.

    We had an amazing time in the Van. It was such a beautiful little home and we loved that it transformed from a spacious living area into a cozy bed to suit whatever we wanted. It came equipped with everything we could think off. Our favourite part was pulling up to beautiful views and having a drink looking out the back in the comfy seats. Anna & Alex were both wonderful to communicate with. They were so great and friendly with lots of helpful tips and so accomodating in assisting us with anything that popped up throughout the trip. We could not recommend Anna, Alex, and Henry the Wombat chaser any more highly!! :)

    I had a fantastic holiday using this van. It was clean, comfortable, warm and had everything I needed. The handover was very thorough and I felt well equipped to tackle my first campervan trip solo.
