Dear Roydon & Jane,
We had a wonderful time on the south island in the camper; we were very sad to part company with the vehicle. We found it very well equipped, and very easy to drive; as you said Roydon, it’s certainly pretty nippy.
Should we ever come back, which at the moment seems like a strong possibility, we would certainly use your company again for hiring a camper. We would also feel very confident to recommend you to any friends considering a similar holiday.

Best wishes to you both for a very happy Christmas, and may the new year bring you continued success.

Paul & Linda Derrick.

Hi Roydon and Jane, Just wanted to let you know we had a fabulous holiday in the campervan we hired from you recently. We really appreciated your personal input, sorry we didn’t get to meet you, but Peter did a good job of introducing us to the van in Picton, end the drop off in Chch was also very friendly and hasslefree.

We will be recommending Sunrise Campervans to our friends, and hopefully will have the oppportunity to use one of your vans again ourselves for future South Island holidays.

Regards, Domini Martin

Thank you,

It was a wonderful camper, and you give a wonderful service.
If ever we require a camper again, (hopefully for holiday purposes) we will definitely use your company. I would also gladly tell anyone else the same

Kind regards,

Thank you very much, Roydon and Jane. This week we are in a Britz berth for North Island, and find it not as well equipped (no toaster) or supplied (no salt and pepper!).
I’d recommend you and use you again. Best, Skipper

Hi Jane and Roydon,
I have passed on your thanks to my parents. Likewise they would like me to pass on their thanks to you. They said that the van was absolutely fantastic. They couldn’t believe how powerful and comfortable it was. They had a fantastic time and are already contemplating a return trip next year!
Certainly, based on their glowing praise, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your company to others and also booking you ourselves should the circumstances arise.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback. It’s been a pleasure.

Cheers,
Chris

Roydon & Jane
just a short note to let you know how much enjoyed your service, humour and the easy transaction of receiving “Betsy The Camper” as the kids nicknamed it.

We had an absolute ball in Betsy she was very easy to drive with awesome views all around well equipped and very comfortable after some long days. We are really keen to get back and do the bottom of the South Is and give ourselves more time.

Thanks again have a merry xmas to all and see you soon Regards

Hi Roydon, Just a quick note to say thank you for the great holiday in the campervan.
And to apologise for the rushed drop-off on Wednesday at Picton.

The van was great, we freedom camped most of the time and for your info, the St Arnaud DOC campsite has powered sites (quite handy when you are parked in 10cm of snow).
We have almost convinced some of our friends to go on a camper holiday, so will pass on your details.

Thanks very much,
Kind regards,
James and Emma

Dear Roydon and Jane
Thank you for your note and thank you for being understanding about the damage. We had an amazing time with our friends and they loved the van very much. It never hiccuped once and they were very impressed. Our 10 hour drive from Auckland to Wellington in one day never created any hassles at all for the vehicle. So thank you it was a great home for them for a month. One thing I forgot was the pilchards in the freezer! I hope you found them before it went out again. It was our friends fishing bait! Sony about that.

Hope you get a well deserved break sometime during the winter. Kind regards

Dear Roydon and Jane

Thanks very much for the great service. We had a wonderful holiday and will be recommending your company to others. We were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and convenient the van was, we’ve never used one before but had no problems working everything. I don’t think we sleep any better in our own beds! We accidently left a cd in the player, it is part of a talking book from our local library, so we’d be very greatful if you could post it back.

Kind regards

Hi Jane and Roydon

Many thanks for your letter and the cheque for the refund of our ‘lost’ hire. I would like to thank you very much for the ‘perfect’ holiday in your campervan - it was brilliant. Thank you also for your professionalism throughout what I now refer to as the “Riwaka” incident.

Rest assured I’ve told everyone I know, how fantastic your company is and have passed on your phone details in case people want to hire from you.

Once again, thanks for a memorable holiday.
Best regards

Dear Jane and Roydon,

We wanted to write and tell you how much we enjoyed our holiday on the South Island and how much we appreciated the van and the service you gave us. We especially appreciated the extra days you let us tag on at the end. The van worked out so well for us all it really made the holiday special. We are attaching a photo we thought you might like. I’m sure you are not short of photos of the vans in beautiful places but feel free to use it if it works for you.

Thanks again. Well certainly recommend you in the future.

Kind regards

Hi Jane,

Thanks for your message. We had a wonderful time, and found the campervan most comfortable. Roydon was most helpful in quickly sorting out the water dump problem, and apart from that, the van never missed a beat! I would have no hesitation in recommending Sunrise Holidays to my friends.

Hi there Jan and Roydon..

Thanks for being so patient with us over our holiday hic-ups  Next year we have decided to fly to Christchurch and pick up a campervan from there and take a little bit more time to explore..

It’s certainly a great way to see the country and those TOP 10 HOLIDAY parks are fantastic... Clean, flash and with excellent helpful staff (With the exception to Hanmer Springs which was apaling service and the facilities were very dirty...)

We have recommended your firm to all our clients and friends since returning home and certainly hope to use you again next year...

Kindest regards

Hello Jane and Roydon,

We have now returned to the very cold Denmark after a wonderful time in New Zealand.
As we did not meet at the return of the campervan, I would like to thank you for an excellent service and flexibility.

The campervan was easy to drive and served our needs completely. We had no problems at all. We hope you found the camper OK.

We will recommend your service to others and do not be surprised if we come back to you, when we are going to NZ next time.

Best regards and thank you

Dear Jane and Roydon,

I’m happy you could find a light to replace the one we broke. Thank you a lot for the postcards. I completely forget them in the motorhome and we remembered we forgot them at Auckland airport!!!

Thanks a lot for that

We have had excellent hollydays in the south island (we think one of the two best journey in NZ. No doubts we will come back sooner or later.

Thanks a lot for everything

Jane & Roydon, we are now back in OZ and wish to thank you both for making our holiday such a joy. Your campervan was terrific! It never let us down, performed heroically under the most adverse conditions - like the 23 kms of unsealed road across the Catlins - and satisfied our every need. We felt like a couple of Derby & Joans stopping at scenic way side photo opportunities and brewing up a cuppa on the gas stove!! We’ll be happy to recommend you to all our friends considering making a similar trip to the “Shaky Isles”

regards,
Gordon W Hayes

Dear Roydon and Jane

It has now been three weeks since we arrived beck in Sydney. We have had the photos developed and besides the photos have fantastic memories of your island. The South is definitely the best
Karen and I thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and especially the time in the campervan. That was a really great part of our holiday and we have already passed on your name to friends who plan to visit over the next year or so.

I was surprised at how easily the van handled and we really felt like we were in a car. The children had a ball in the back and were far enough away for us not to hear all the noise they were making. It was comfortable to drive and to steep in... I can recommend a 6 berth for a family of 4... more space.

We WILL be back to the South island and hopefully one of your vans. That will be in a year or two’s time. Hope we can refer a few customers to you in between. I will be happy for any of your customers over this way to contact me if they need some advice before setting off.

Best regards and thanks again
