The best of the south

The best of southern New Zealand

CampingCar-Online/Ramble Campervans would like to share the best of southern New Zealand with you. Aboard your motorhome you will discover the diverse landscapes and wonders of the South Island starting from Christchurch or Queenstown. 

The South Island is a unique succession of landscapes, all completely different from each other. Discover snow-capped mountains, vast sunny plains, dense forests of lush vegetation and impressive waterfalls. Apart from these unusual landscapes, the island has lovely large cities, such as Christchurch on the coast and Queenstown inland.

Malbourough Sounds

Marlbourough Sounds is dotted with beautiful bays, coves and sheltered beaches where the blue of the sea compliments the surrounding green landscape covering more than 1,000 km of coastline. Exploring by boat or canoe will allow you to make the most of this very maritime area.

Blenheim et Kaikoura

Blenheim is known for its Montana vineyards producing great Sauvignon Blancs and Rieslings, and the Marlborough Wine and Food Festival where good food and fine wines are celebrated. Kairoura is known for sperm whale and dolphin watching, as these sea mammals often swim close to the shore in this area.
