A little Kombi magic to share with you!

We wanted to share a very cool story from Rhonda’s first trip of the season because it still makes us smile.

Minakshe booked Rhonda for a mom & daughter South Island road trip, and explored a good portion of areas in just 8 days.

“We had the most incredible trip and the absolute best experience travelling around in our Kombi, Rhonda. It was especially meaningful as it was a mother–daughter trip, truly one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that we’ll never forget. Rhonda was a dream to drive and made the journey even more special. Every kilometre felt like part of the adventure, and the memories we created together will stay with us forever.”

That is exactly why we do what we do.

If you’re looking for a unique gift this season, a Kombi road trip could be a good fit for someone in your world. Our Gift Vouchers are available as digital or printed versions.

Hokey pokey and a Kombi - a combo that’s been melting hearts (and ice creams) since forever🍦 🚐💛

There’s something about those simple road trip moments that never gets old. Sunshine through the open windows, and that first drip of ice cream running down your hand.

You can’t rush that kind of magic, it’s what a road trip is all about!

👉 the open road
👉 amazing scenery
👉 easy retro pace

It all makes you slow down and enjoy every bit of it.

🚐💛 Some things never go out of style.

👉 Ready to make your own roadie memories?

Start your road trip from Alexandra - where the journey (and the ice cream) taste better slow.

Have 3–5 days for a Kombi hire and want a good itinerary? 🚐💛

We’ve mapped out one of our favourite South Island routes - the road from Alexandra to Mt Cook.

Think turquoise lakes, golden hills, the surreal Clay Cliffs near Omarama, and views of Aoraki / Mt Cook that stop you in your tracks.

This is the perfect trip for anyone wanting to experience that real Kombi pace - unhurried and full of those “pull over for a photo stop” moments!

We like to recommend Clyde as your first stop on your roadie 🙌

A wee town full of historic charm, stone buildings, cottage gardens, all beside the Clutha River.

It’s a great detour to avoid some of those side winds climbing up the hill after you leave Alexandra.

Ten minutes drive from our depot, you can drop in for a coffee at the famous Oliver’s cafe - your kombi will fit right in here parked in the main street.

Then carry on your way, with some foodie things on board, to enjoy the next stretch of slow travel. 🤩

How fun & special is this? Mina is taking her mom on a roadie adventure in Rhonda 💛

So glad the weather turned it on for them - and can’t wait to hear the adventures they’ll have.

Although they have a couple of things planned, they are mostly going with the flow - we highly recommend that mindset 👏

The weather in the South Island can change very quickly and it doesn’t pay to be too stuck on needing to be somewhere at a certain time/day.

Alexandra is a great spot to head off from, West Coast, Catlins, Mackenzie Country, Fiordland - where would you head to?

Rhonda has a new bedtime look for the upcoming season!

We’ve been trialling this setup in our own van, Aggiee all last season and it works well to save faffing about with curtains or stick on side window covers.

Warren says it’s much easier on the driver too without curtains flapping around.

But I do love the curtain vibe - what do you think? Curtains or window covers? 🤷‍♀️

Also splashed out on a comfy Ecosa mattress topper - so much better for ageing bones 🤭

Historic bridges are always a draw card for us when we’re out driving in Aggiee.

This one is at one entrance to Ophir, a historic gold mining town full of charm. 💖

Only half an hours drive from Alexandra where we’re based and perfect timing for a shot of coffee and cake ☕️🍰 on your roadie before carrying on your way!

Drive 2km south off the highway at Omakau to find it - FYI Omakau also has a great spot for food/coffee at The Muddy Creek cafe - can you spot the theme of our roadies 🤭?

Many of the original buildings still survive - the Post and Telegraph Office has been restored and you can even post a letter or postcard from it - the country’s longest running post office!! 📬

You’ll see lots of cute old cottages and gardens down the street if that’s your vibe! 👌

Travel at kombi pace & soak up the historic charm of Central Otago this summer - you’ll find many such places as you road trip around. 🚐✨
