Why a campervan is a luxury way to travel
Traveling in a campervan may not sound like a luxury holiday, but trust us when we say, it can be, especially when travelling in a stylish maui camper.
You can bring all your creature comforts along
One thing we absolutely love about an Australian road trip in a campervan is that you can bring along the comforts that you enjoy with you as you at home . Pack that extra pair of shoes, throw in your must-read books, and don't forget the gourmet snacks. Long holidays suddenly become a breeze, made even more luxurious when you have all your cherished items right there with you. Plus, a maui campervan hire comes with quality bedding and towels for each person, for that added layer of comfort and ease and to make your travel packing list a little lighter!
Top tip: Pack a soft suitcase or duffle bag rather than a hard suitcase, as soft suitcases are easier to store in the motorhome cupboards. Once you’re onboard you can completely unpack and get comfortable before heading off on your road trip.
No time restrictions
Another thing that makes a campervan luxury travel option is that you don’t need to stick to any time restrictions. When you set off on a road trip, you’ve got your travel itinerary as a guide to where you want to go and what you want to experience, but you don’t have the deadlines of check in times and bookings. Instead, you wake up at a lovely holiday park, surrounded by nature, in the comfort of your own cosy space. You can spend longer at that picturesque lakeside spot, savouring every moment, or decide to explore that charming town a little while longer. This is travel without boundaries.
You have plenty of space
With a campervan hire you’ve also got plenty of space to unpack, get comfortable and stretch out with the whole family. No need to squish into small plane seats or hire car seats! Instead stop and enjoy the beauty of the places you see as you drive across Australia, before getting back into your spacious and comfortable camper. Plus, the beauty of having your home on wheels is that once you unpack all the travel essentials that you’ve brought with you, there is no need to pack again until your trip is over, making your whole luxury trip a breeze.
Everything you need is at arm’s reach
A campervan is the epitome of luxury travel, putting everything you need right at your fingertips. You’ll be waking up in nature, hearing the birds sing, the trees swaying and maybe even the crashing waves of the ocean if you’re in a coastal location. From there, you can roll over and prepare a delicious cup of coffee before moving outside to enjoy it in the peaceful location that you find yourself in. You’ll have the freedom to whip up a gourmet meal or brew a perfect cup of joe whenever the mood strikes. And let's not forget about downtime entertainment onboard, you've got your own little cinema, perfect for those lazy afternoons. With a campervan, your doorstep is wherever you park it - whether it's a breathtaking mountain vista or a serene beachfront location.
What luxury features are included in maui motorhomes
maui motorhomes are completely equipped with luxury features to make your travels all the more comfortable and easy. One thing we absolutely love about luxury campervan travel in a maui camper is that there is no need to queue up at the campsite shower block, because you’ve got a bathroom onboard. How luxurious to not have to worry about when the next toilet stop may be! Inside, you've got the option of double beds, so you can spread out as you please, and in the kitchen you’ll find a fridge and a freezer on board, meaning you can enjoy ice-cold beverages on the go and have plenty of room for all those mouth-watering fresh goodies you'll pick up on your travels. Also onboard you’ll find a radio, Bluetooth, USB, a DVD player with a flat screen, and even an HDMI input. So whether you're listening to your favourite tunes or catching up on the latest blockbuster, you're all set. And when it comes to keeping you cool or staying warm, the air conditioner and heater will keep you comfortable, no matter the season. Lastly, with an internal walk-through, you won't even have to step outside if it’s late at night or it’s cold and raining, you can simply walk back to the comfort of your home on wheels.
What to pack for your luxury campervan holiday
For your campervan holiday, you’re going to want to bring all the luxuries that you use at home, to make your trip all the nicer. First up, toss in those full-sized toiletries and a few pamper indulgences - because nothing says "glamping" like your favourite shampoo and that fancy moisturiser. Next, pack the comfiest lounging gear you can find like your slippers, a cosy robe, and lounge-worthy holiday attire.
With a maui campervan you’ve got the space to bring all those things you usually have to leave at home, like your surfboards or golfing gear. That way, when you arrive at those scenic spots where you can grab your board or hit a ball, you’ll have your favourite gear to enjoy it. Since you’ve got ample space, it’s a great idea to also pack some good reads, your trusty iPad, and a speaker for those times on the road when you want to listen to some good tunes.
Lastly, while your maui camper will come equipped with all the cooking gear you could need, it can be a nice idea to throw in some of your favourite kitchen items, your own coffee mug or those gourmet goodies you can’t live without!
