Sounds very cool. I would go the campervan option if we ever got organised enough to have a holiday. Which island are you going to?

Thanks for the replies.

Mistyfying thats what I needed to hear- someone who has done it and doesnt think its an insane idea!!

I take note on the shower and microwave, agreed it would be good.

Artechim, we will prob fly into Wellington where we have friends and drive up and fly out of Auckland. A few years ago we first went to NZ and toured the south island mostly, which was fantastic. We also have friends in Nelson so might cross over to see them. Depends on time. I would prefer to concentrate on the North Island this time.

Now I have to lock DH into time off work and start researching....!!

The North Island is fabulous lol I am in the central North Island in the volcanic plateau. There are some stunning areas around here, you will have a great time. Feel free to PM me if there is any local info that you would like to know

Hi! I just found this old post and thought I would update in case anyone is interested in something similar!

We did do a campervan around the north island for 2 weeks, it was great! We got a toilet shower model but didnt use the shower once (the shower blocks were easier than getting water everywhere in the van!) The toilet was so convenient though!
The van had seats right behind the driver (like a normal car set up) so we could easily reach her and still sit altogether in the front.
A full size portacot fit up in the van- jammed into the doorway, where you could squueze past. (just had to exit via the front doors instead)

It was an awesome holiday and we would do it again. If anyone has any more questions I would be happy to answer!

hawskey,

I think as long as ya have a tub or sink or LARGE bucket you be fine for bathing baby, I think go for what ever u can afford i think the more room and comfort u can have the better the holiday. I go to nz almost every year but we stay in a batch and arnt really traveling. But i have done it a few times with a baby this time my 3 year old is much older but we will be doing it with a 6 month old whom will be 8 month old then. We will just shower/bathe him in a large tub as there is only showers there. Im pretty sure DS3 will still be trying to get into the tub lol
