CAMPERVAN LIVING WITH A BABY
NEW ZEALAND
Travelling New Zealand with a baby is something many would only ever dream of, but Beth and her husband Ollie made their dream a reality when they took off to explore New Zealand in a campervan with a one year old.
travelling New Zealand with a baby is seen as a little less ‘intimidating’ than travelling to other countries-for example, countries that don’t speak English, or places that have wildly different climates.
WHY NEW ZEALAND?
WHAT MUST-HAVE ITEM WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR TRAVELLING NEW ZEALAND WITH A BABY?
A portable travel cot. It’s a tent style cot, packing down to a small backpack and only weighing 3Kg – much more transportable than your normal solid travel cot.

TOP TIPS
It’s important to have the option of a little space inside for you as a couple while your baby is sleeping, as the weather isn’t reliable and not having the option to be inside and awake would have been hard!
Travelling New Zealand with a baby forces you to stay active and creative. Edie doesn’t have time for moaning, and doesn’t really know the difference between rain or shine. It’s all a playground to her!
THE HIGHLIGHTS?
Abel Tasman National Park and the Marlborough sounds. Because we had the campervan we could get up into the really remote areas, and spent a few nights watching sunsets across the sounds from outside our campervan, or pack rafting across the water to explore all the nooks and crannies at dusk.
