  Amazing Tully was absolutely fantastic in every way. The van was so jam packed with everything you could possibly need. We went off grid for some days and had a powered site for others. On warm days we set up the awning area which was so great! Chairs, a table and foot rests. We had a rug out and lights which expanded the space and made it super cosy. On rainy days we bunkered in with a book and enjoyed the coziness. Mitch was a great host. Super responsive. When we hired Tully, the fuel gauge was a bit quirky and not entirely accurate which is good to know before heading out. Once youre aware of this it adds to the charm. Mitch is going to tinker with it anyway so will probably be fixed shortly. We loved it. Great experience and Tully is a real magnet - people love her and the comments and photos taken not to mention the smiles she puts on peoples faces is quite special. We would love to come back again and highly recommend Tully and Mitch to anyone considering a special and unique experience in a beautiful old combi.

  Tully is a real head turner - everywhere we went people loved it! We took Tully on a camping trip over the Christmas period and it really was such a memorable experience. The following review is an honest opinion about our overall experience. I found Tully via instagram and was interested to book so had spoke to KC via DM to enquire about a special deal that had been offered. The offer was stay 4 for the price of 3. I had requested help to book as amplify was not matching the comms on our instagram messages. I had mentioned specific dates 23-27th December a couple of times. KC agreed for me to book on Camplify 23-26 for the price that was agreed however Tully to be dropped off on 27th December at 10am (this was agreed at a special rate of $150 per day x4 so $600 rental however with add ons and service charges/insurance/linen etc we paid total $901). I looked at flights which were so expensive but was so excited so booked a non refundable bus ticket (approx $380 for 2) for our agreed dates as discussed. On the 19th December, I had a missed call and KC checked in via text with pick up/drop off times. This was also sent on camplify messages. The pick up times in text did not match the email which I expressed in the text- I then called KC back and we had a good chat- he explained he had back to back bookings and we couldnt pick up until 12.30 which was fine with us anyway. On reflection the drop off day was listed as 26th - however I will acknowledge I did not pick up on this, I only checked the times (I typically dont check dates especially when other travel arrangements/accomodation has booked based off dates agreed so I am usually confident and skim information and on reflection, I respect that I should have checked this and a lesson learned for future. Again, we had a nice chat , KC asked our plans and I had told KC our plans to take Tully to Yamba for our first night, second night staying at Platypus Island at McKenzie Mountain which highly recommend on Hip Camp, our 3rd night was in Kunghur at Misty Mountain and at the time of communicating on the 19th December via phone call we had not booked a campsite for our 4th night and had mentioned to KC about our plan to stay somewhere closer to Byron- he was again very kind, even offered us to stay on his property on the final night if we wanted (as grateful as we were for the offer we had declined on arrival, as we had to catch our 11 hour bus back to Sydney and shower before hand which the property had no toilet/shower and the property was around 20 mins to byron via car.) Again on reflection, this could have been seen as an opportunity to say thats 4 nights , I only have you booked for 3. We both acknowledged that Christmas is a busy time, on the 19th I was at a Christmas work event and Ive no doubt KC was busy checking in with other renters amongst other life things so unfortunately neither of us picked up on this miscommunication. On the day before the booking he said we can pick up at 11am instead of 12.30 but we still collected closer to 12.30. KC was very nice on arrival and met us himself on the day and gave us all the information of Tully and walk through answering any questions. Despite the Christmas period and his plans with family, he still offered his assistance if we needed it via text which was kind. Tully was in really good condition and as pictured (minus the duct taped parts from the previous renter in the days before which he apologised for but she was such a beauty you wouldnt even notice!) On Boxing Day, 26/12 - KC sent the drop off instructions and wished us a great trip - our signal was not great due to camping so I didnt receive messages and again wasnt sure if this was just for the following day. He called me and asked if the van was back which it was not. At this point we were having black outs of signal and it was quite stressful. KC sms me explaining if we didnt bring the van back immediately there would be additional charges. I sent these screenshots of our agreed booking when I booked Tully. 10am drop off on 27th December In my experience, booking most things especially accomodation is done on a nightly basis- not a daily basis. Ie on camplify you pay for the day you pick up (12.30pm and the day you drop off 10am which is ludicrous to me) It is our understanding based on our chat with KC that this is camplify rules and not his which is not in line with traditional standard rental companies. To break down clearly $$ Day 1 - 23rd (pick up 12.30) $$ Day 2- 24th $$ Day 3 - 25th $$ Day 4- 26th (dropping off at 10am) so you pay for the full day despite drop off at 10? The time between the scheduled pick up time and drop off time was 71 hours, less than 3 days, however we were charged for 4 full days. Therefore it would be reasonable to say the guests dropping off have paid for the day and the guests picking up have paid for the day In which case this is an issue for camplify and would leave me hesitant to book via camplify in future but equally it is extremely misleading and does not align with customer expectations in my opinion and owner is getting value of a double booking. Camplifys website: The insurance used by many owners on Camplify is charged on a per-day basis giving owners the flexibility to offer varying pick up and drop off times. These pick-up and drop-off times must be mutually agreed upon and respected at all times. - for future users, if you dont need to drop the van off early, then agree to a later drop off before booking. Its easy for renters to think a 10am drop off is normal, as this is typical of hotel / price per night stays. You pay for the full day so get your moneys worth and at least understand what you are booking. I would like to take the opportunity to apologise for the inconvenience to KC for miscommunication on both sides and that this caused a delay in the next guests picking up the van! Thankfully we seen them cruising around byron a few hours later and parked at an awesome spot on the beach front overnight - you cant miss her! We did leave a full bag of fire wood with KC that we were unable to use due to giving back earlier than expected so we offered him to give it to the guests for the inconvenience of delayed pick up. From our point of view as customers (30+ year olds, professionals) we dropped it back as soon as we physically could, however there is no two ways about it - it sadly did impact our last day of our trip. We had to book a last minute hotel in byron (stinging us $494) we couldnt get a taxi to leave your property for over an hour as it was Boxing Day and a friend had to come get us, impacting their plans. We were there longer than your lovely cleaner, who even offered to drive us to the town centre whilst we waited so we could have some shade/get a drink! And unfortunately, we had to throw out our unused food which felt extremely wasteful. KC kindly stated he would offer us some compensation for what had happened. The van was dropped back with a full tank of petrol, additional cleaning supplies (dish washer/soap/surface cleaner) and condiments like oil for cooking. Linen stripped, cleaned both inside and out. We acknowledged that the stiff freezer door unfortunately got cracked and loose whilst trying to get out our things in the rush. We shared photos with KC and said we were happy for him to deduct from whatever compensation as this was an unfortunate accident. The following day KC refunded $100 to our account, and states he kept $150 for a replacement freezer door. Despite the above communication issues, which we respect is a two way thing - Tully is a very unique experience and would encourage anyone in Byron to explore in her. We respect that KC has newly taken over Tully and sometimes communication issues can occur but despite the above we think he handled the situation reasonably well and overall is a nice guy and it would not deter us from recommending others to hire Tully. Wish KC and his business with Tully all the best!

If youre looking for a step back in time with a modern twist of technology, (fridge and aircon! ) for your next glamping trip she is the van for you. Expect to be smiling and waving all day as everyone gets so excited to see her! Thank you KC for letting us have this experience Also the bed feels like sleeping on a cloud!

  We had such a great time. The van is awesome and attracts so much positive attention. Although the van is a slow mover it was perfect for our purpose and the inside was quite luxurious- everything we needed. Definitely recommend Tully.
