Katie Hurst embraced the ultimate solo travel adventure – a campervan road trip around New Zealand’s South Island. In this guide, she shares her favourite moments, insights, and practical tips to help you plan your own unforgettable solo campervan holiday. 

I’ll never forget the moment I spent my first night in Queenstown on my solo campervan holiday around the bottom of the South Island. The buzz of the town sat in stark contrast to the stillness of the mountains rising all around. I parked the van at the edge of Lake Wakatipu, brewed a coffee, and watched the late afternoon light dance across the water. It was my first taste of the freedom as a solo traveller – no schedules, no compromises, just me, my campervan, and the open road.  

There’s something special about a coastal road trip in New Zealand. With roads that wind past golden beaches and through charming seaside towns, it’s the kind of journey you’ll never forget.  

Travelling in a Britz campervan hire makes it even better – offering the freedom to stop when the views demand it and the comfort of having everything you need along for the ride. From waking up to the sound of the waves to enjoying meals with an ocean backdrop, a coastal road trip in a Britz camper is as easy and enjoyable as it gets.
