About Us

We believe the journey is just as important as the destination. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing not just a vehicle, but a seamless, memorable, and truly Kiwi road trip experience.

Kia Ora! We’re Steve & Vicky Paul. Welcome to Kia Ora Campers – where your New Zealand adventure begins.

See Our Campervans

In 2014, we traded in our lives as sheep and beef farmers for a new adventure. We purchased a small, existing motorhome rental business with just 7 vehicles. Driven by a passion for sharing our beautiful country and a commitment to personal service, we’ve lovingly grown Kia Ora Campers into a trusted fleet of 45 modern campervans.

Our farming background taught us the values of hard work, integrity, and hospitality. We bring that same Kiwi spirit to every interaction, ensuring your holiday is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

Our Promise
