RV Travel Lifestyle

RV Travel Lifestyle, New Zealand’s longest-running NZ-owned motorhome travel publication. We visit NZ’s most beautiful spots north to south from Cape Reinga to Stewart Island and everywhere in between. Hire or buy an RV for an amazing way to explore our pristine and often wild places. We visit cycleways, historic and cultural sites, Department of Conservation parks, stunning beach and mountain destinations to inspire our readers, along with major cities and small towns, and showcase activities from fishing to motor racing, wine tours to music festivals and shopping. We review RVs, and travellers share their experiences. An excellent publication for those travelling around New Zealand to self-drive an RV or car, and see the best NZ can offer.

Road trip south, Showtime and CBD

Reigning in the Rainforest • Gary maps the Milford Track, the well known four-day trek that exceeds expectations of dramatic mountains and massive downpours.

Milestones, Moa and Meeting Sheep • Stand-out sights from Springfield to the Bealey Pub

BY NO MEANS LITTLE • Just a short distance from Christchurch, through or over the Port Hills, you emerge in Lyttelton. Sitting within the crater rim of Banks Peninsula and facing the expansive Lyttelton Harbour/Whakaraupō, this is more than just a port town. Kathy Catton sets out to discover more.

Experience South Westland • Ancient rainforest, snow-capped mountains, majestic glaciers … immerse yourself in South Westland. The Fox Glacier South Side Walkway/Cycleway and the Ōkārito walking tracks showcase the best of this magnificent region. Both are internationally recognised for their world-class scenery and native birds. They are part of UNESCO’s Te Wāhipounamu – South West New Zealand World Heritage Area.

Stewart Island is something special • Rakiura/Stewart Island has a mystique in the minds of New Zealanders, who are now visiting the island in increasing numbers. Famed for its oysters, crayfish, blue cod and rough weather, you have to be tough and even bloody minded to want to live there. John Bishop took advantage of being in the bottom of the South Island to slip across Foveaux Strait to a place he’d long wanted to visit but had never managed. He wasn’t disappointed.

SEEKING MITIMITI • Allan Dick heads north looking for a place he’s only ever heard of, and goes looking for Cheeky Yates.

NORTHERN ESCAPE • What do the Southern Hemisphere’s longest footbridge, a former Deputy Prime Minister, and Northland’s worst maritime disaster have in common? Read on to find out.

Wandering Westwards • A random roadie to black sand beaches, lovely lakes and a wee bit of the mighty Waikato

Ol' man river - and a litany of chiefs • Alex and Lesley Stone pay their respects to the great Waikato River by biking alongside on the Te Awa Trail

Virgin RV traveler • The story of a first timer in a campervan

Hit the road Jack • Allan Dick relives an embarrassing time or two.
