Our top picks: places to visit in your motorhome

We’re sure you don't need convincing that New Zealand is one of the most beautiful places to travel, especially by caravan or motorhome! Our stunning scenery, charming beaches and wide range of outdoor activities are a heavenly combination. Our owners here at Mountain Fresh are avid motorhome travellers, whether you’re caravanning or even camping, hear about their favourite places to visit. 

Tauranga Bay: The picturesque bay is perfect for family getaways, with a safe swimming beach and shallow estuary. Head to the rock pools at either end of the beach for some snorkelling, where you'll see small fish, crabs and pretty seashells. If you take a boat and are up for an adventure, Stephenson's Island sits just off Tauranga Bay. The island is deserted and has it's own stunning beaches and scenery to explore.

Bay of Islands: Located in the North Island, they love the Bay of Islands for its stunning coastline and clear waters, while they’re there they will grab their fishing lines and try their luck with a surf cast from the beach. There are plenty of holiday parks and camping grounds in the area, their favourite is Paihia Top 10 Holiday Park for it’s waterfront location and proximity to the rest of the Bay of Islands and Northland.

Coromandel Peninsula: Another location on New Zealand’s east coast is the beautiful Coromandel which is conveniently located a couple of hours from our office, perfect for quick weekends away. While they’re there, they love exploring its lush forests, stunning beaches, and rich Maori culture. There are plenty of scenic drives and hiking trails there - they really love a challenge and if they're feeling active, will take a hike up Mount Pauanui. 

Lake Taupo: How could we not include Lake Taupo? Being lakeside can be so serene and peaceful. If you’re looking for a little excitement, there are no shortage of water activities; wakeboarding, water skiing, paddleboarding, or a classic swim. Check out this list of activities that will get your adrenaline pumping!

Abel Tasman National Park: Heading to the South Island now, Abel Tasman National Park is on the cooler side, but known for its beautiful beaches, clear waters, and abundant wildlife. While you’re there, check out the beautiful scenic walk at Abel Tasman Coast Track. The entire track is 51km and can be done over 3-5 days, with the option to walk just portions of it. If kayaking is more your thing, you can take a kayak tour!

Whether you’re after adventure, or relaxation, there are many spots across our beautiful country that can cater to you. Don't forget to take pure water with you, our benchtop purifiers can easily be connected to your caravan’s tap - click here to take a look.
