Hi there

Just writing to say thanks for a great holiday. It was our first time to NZ. You've got a wonderful country that has an incredible natural beauty. We loved visiting in winter to experience the extreme differences in climate to that of our home. We picked up our camper in Christchurch and were really well looked after by George - he's a great asset to your company.

The camper was outstanding - drove like a car, had wonderful vision for taking in the scenery, was good on fuel and was set up perfectly for an unforgettable road trip. I've attached a few photos. I'd also like to put in a plug for your after-hours mechanic who sorted out a minor problem over the phone for us with a minimum of fuss (no fault of the vehicle - freezing temperatures resulted in the fuse for the water pump blowing).


We're already telling our friends. Thanks again !

I would love to tell everyone about our two week trip to the South Island of New Zealand in March 2007. We had a fantastic time with warm weather and the most spectacular scenery imaginable. The beauty of travelling in the Apollo 2 Berth S/T campervan was the independence we had to go wherever and whenever we liked and all the free camping opportunities we could take advantage of.

We started in Christchurch and crossed over to Mt. Cook which we saw in brilliant sunshine! We then drove down the east coast to Invercargill, up to Milford sound and across to Queenstown. We then headed over some amazing mountain roads to the west coast and the beautiful rugged coastline. From there, we travelled across the top to Marlborough wine country and sipped on the lovely Sauvignon Blancs all the way back down to our last night near Hanmer Springs. A must see and do, especially the hot spa waters in the open air under magnificent mountain scenery.

We were very sad to have to return the campervan back to the Apollo branch at Christchurch . We will definitely return to do the North Island for our next holiday and have recommended Apollo to our friends who are doing the same holiday at the start of 2008.

Our Trip through Western Australia ?

Our trip covered 6600 kilometres in about 3 weeks, starting from Perth and heading out to Kalbarri National Park , then further on the North West Costal Highway to Tom Price and Port Hedland. We continued south again to Dampier, Exmouth, Coral Bay and Geraldton. We turned off at Mt Magnet and traveled through the ?wheat-belt? to York and back to Perth.

Our Apollo Cheapa Campa was for 2 adults (and maybe a small child). We liked that form of traveling because you always had food, cool drinks and other things you needed with you in the car. There was no trouble with the campervan and we found at lot of lovely camping grounds during the trip. It was a very relaxing holiday. You could drive where you liked and for as long as you wanted. From our home in Denmark we made a list of ?highlights? we wanted to see and during the trip we managed to see a lot of them. These included Lake Tetris near Cervantes, the Pinnacles and Kalbarri National Park.

Our travels with Danny Boy?

We have to tell you what a great time we had in our Apollo 2 Berth S/T campervan (?Danny?), which we hired from your Auckland office.

We intended to do all of the North Island but only managed to do half! We'll have to come back and do the other half and the South island another time (plans are being made). How people do both islands in 14 days is beyond us. We had Danny for 27 days in March and travelled a whopping 2540 kilometres (an average of 94.07 kilometres per day).

These figures may be of interest to you:

Fuel cost NZ$ 213.21 (plus $80 Diesel Tax)
Litres used = 215.60 (47.43 gallons)
Average cost per litre = $0.991
Litres per 100 kms = 11.81
Kms per litre = 8.47
Miles per gallon = 33.36

That's a lot better than what I get with my petrol 4WD and caravan, which averages:

Litres per 100 km: 16.3
Kilometres per litre: 6
Miles per gallon: 17.25 (sometimes only 15 mpg)

I think I'll be looking at getting a diesel 4wd next time.

Attached is a photo of "Danny" (left) and his brother (right), who we came across one day. We waited half an hour for (585) to turn up and complete the trio, but unfortunately it was a "no show".

Our Fourth Trip is coming!

After our first Apollo tour (for our honeymoon 6 years ago), we are now organizing our fourth trip. After visiting the east, south and in 2006 the west, we will do a trip from Darwin to Sydney in the near future. Last year we had a great time exploring the west coast. For us, the west coast was nicer and there was more to see then the east coast. We always use a 2 Berth Hitop and for 2 people it is perfect. During our last trip from Perth to the north we had a good time - seeing the Pinnacles, swimming with dolphins and exploring the gold fields. Thanks to Apollo and the staff, we have seen a lot of Australia and there is more to go.

4WD Adventure?

Thanks for the interest in my trip I made with your Toyota 4WD Landcruiser. I had a wonderful time especially on the old jungle route from Cooktown to Port Douglas (through the Daintree National Park ). Crossing the Bloomfield River (crocodiles included) was lots of fun.

I had an adventure on the 400 kilometre gravel, bitumen and water road through the ?desert' to Charters Towers . I was wondering if the car could make it through. Thanks to a passing truck driver I dared to go through. The tyres of the truck went half under water and he was waiting for me to cross. It went very well. But actually he was waiting because there was a second crossing and it was VERY deep. The truck tyres went under. In my courage, I drove on and made a mistake by getting in the water in second gear. The car got into the water and started to slow down. The hood of the car was almost going under. But worse, the RPM was dropping under 1500 and I didn't want to switch gear. I gave a little more gas and the car SLOWLY starting moving out of the water. What an adventure!

Thanks again to the truck driver for waiting. I had a fantastic three weeks holiday in Australia and we will probably meet again.

Western Australia ?

We travelled with the Apollo 4WD Adventure Camper through Western Australia from mid-January to mid-February. We really look back to this time as living in a dream and since we drove about 7000 kilometres in 3 weeks, Apollo was a part of this dream.

We started in Perth , went to Rottnest Island and than started driving north via the inland route up to Karratha. We drove back to Perth along the beautiful coastline. We visited all the most important national parks as Karijini, Kalbarri, Millstream, Carnarvon, Shark Bay , Francois Perron and the Pinnacles. One day in Karijini we met a nice couple from Switzerland and when we returned to the car park, it seemed that they were traveling with a twin Apollo campervan and they enjoyed it as well.

We loved Western Australia , especially the great scenery and wonderful animals (we loved the galahs on the campground in Tom Price). It was our fifth time to Australia and the second time we rented an Apollo campervan. In 2005 we drove with a Hitop for five weeks through Queensland .

We still have to see so many things in Australia , so it will not be the last time we are Down Under.

Thank you Apollo and thanks for the discount offer on our next rental.

Hitop Holiday?

This was our second time Down Under and our second time with an Apollo Hitop. We drove from Melbourne to Perth in six weeks. We enjoyed driving across the Nullabor. We saw lots of road trains, planes at campsites and we even had an alcohol check point in the desert. Overnight at a campsite on a roadhouse was something new.

The Hitop van is small, compared to the big yarri trees, but comfortable enough for two people. We rented bikes for one day and would suggest that one could hire a Hitop with a rack and two bikes. There are so many spots where it would be nice to make a bicycle tour on the way. We will use Apollo when we travel to Australia again.

Too Many Highlights?

Melbourne was the starting point for our Australian holiday in the first quarter of 2007. We rented an Apollo Cheapa Campa and started our tour going west to Adelaide , Coober Pedy and then back to Kangaroo Island . We then travelled via the Great Ocean Road to Queenscliff (south of Melbourne ). We travelled with the ferry to Sorrento and then to Dromana, Healesville, Phillip Island, Wilson's promontory, Raymond Island, Mallacoota, Bateman's Bay, Narrabeen (just north of Sydney) and then back to Melbourne via Canberra.

It was an amazing journey where we saw lots of beautiful Australian nature. I can't mention one highlight, because then I would forget too many other highlights!

Our recent trip was more in the nature of a family visit, however here are a few photos which you might want to use.

In appreciation for past service, I have also put up a free link to Apex and Apollo on two websites I look after. I hope this generates some customer interest for you.

We have fancied a holiday in New Zealand for a long time, but each time we gave it serious consideration, something turned up that made it impossible for that year. But 2007 gave us the perfect excuse to commit to a holiday to remember.

Our trip was to be a six stop-over around the world, with a 26-day holiday in New Zealand with a motorhome, travelling the North and South Islands . We basically planned the itinerary ourselves using the Internet search facilities to itemise those sights that we felt were ?must see's?. During our searching we contacted Apollo Motorhome Holidays as they seemed to offer a good service using fairly new vehicles. Eventually we put ourselves in the hands of Worldchoice Travel Agents who arranged nearly everything for us at a price that was comparable with the Internet, yet gave us the security we required for such a long trip. They booked everything for us, including the Apollo motorhome and all hotels in the other countries we visited. The obvious highlight of the holiday was to be New Zealand.

We were not disappointed in any way. New Zealand is a country full of scenic surprises, fabulous activities, and for us ? a range of weather that enabled us to appreciate the country in all its splendour.

Our 2 Berth S/T campervan gave us a real advantage over a car in so much as we travelled just a few feet higher, which enabled us to appreciate sights that otherwise would have been missed, unless we had travelled by coach. But with a coach tour, we would have been tied to a general itinerary that would have removed the freedom we had to vary the trip from time to time to get what we wanted from it.

There were many highlights throughout the journey ? every day was an experience and we generally sat around our camp table in the evenings with the comment, ?another great day!?. We swam with dolphins with Fullers in Piahia, walked a volcanic valley and drank some great wines in Napier. We soaked ourselves in the Hammer Springs hot pools, did 360 degree spins on the Shotover Jet Boat and had a nostalgic ride on The Kingston Flyer steam train. We saw the Albatross's fly at Dunedin but sadly missed the penguins evening return. And we had a fabulous day visiting and sailing on Milford Sound.

But the absolute highlight was the helicopter flight we took from Glentanner over Mount Cook and landing on the glaciers. This was one of those times when the motorhome came into its own. We had missed out on the intended flight from Franz Josef or Fox because of low cloud cover, but decided to try again the other side of the mountain a few days later. This meant a considerable detour and without our own transport we would have missed out, but we luckily had a crystal clear day and what a memory to savour towards the end of our holiday.

G´day from Austria!

I was very glad to travel through Australia in March 2007! One of my first impressions of Western Australia was collecting the Apollo Hitop campervan in Perth on a Saturday. A very nice lady explained the car's facilities. I followed the Western Australia coast southwards and travelled across the Nullarbor to South Australia , Victoria , New South Wales and finished in Brisbane . The campervan was in very good condition (it only used 10.5L per 100km) and was a perfect car for driving alone or as a couple. Because of its short length, the car was easy to handle even in the big towns. Holidays in the Australian autumn was a wonderful and unforgettable adventure - 9000 km, 2805 photographs and 12 hours of video footage later I had to leave. I will be coming back to Australia (hopefully soon) to visit more of Queensland and the Northern Territory . Apollo and the German company "Camperbörse" will be my first choice. Best regards to the Apollo people in Perth and Brisbane.

Perth Campervan...

My family have rented Apollo campervans on two occasions in Perth in 2005 and 2006. On both occasions, Apollo provided us with very clean and well stocked campervans combined with friendly service. On the first occasion, my campervan was upgraded to a newer model at no additional cost. I would not hesitate to recommend Apollo to other renters. They facilitated my family holiday and we had such a great time exploring Australia.

Happy Holiday...

We have just returned from our 7 week holiday in Australia and New Zealand. We started in Cairns with an Apollo Toyota Camry rental car and visited some lovely places like Cardwell, Bowen, Airlie Bach, Childers, Rainbow Beach and Surfers Paradise. We then flew over to New Zealand. We hired a 2 Berth S/T campervan from the Apollo branch in Auckland and headed north to the very tip of the island at Cape Reinga. It had the most beautiful landscape and stunning beaches. After that we travelled back to Australia. We got 4WD Adventure Camper from Apollo in Broome and explored the Australian Outback. We visited many places off the beaten track, including Onslow, Tom Price, Karijini National Park, Newman, Leinster, Sandstone and Kalgoorlie. This was the third time we have experienced an absolutely wonderful holiday in Australia and NZ - thanks Apollo!

Aussie Vacation...

We had a great vacation in Australia. We drove 3500km with the Toyota Camry from Cairns to Brisbane, 3000km with the 2/3 Berth Hitop Camper from Sydney to Adelaide and 2000km with the 4WD Adventure Camper in the Northern Territory. It is a great country to travel in and we met a lot of nice people.

South Australia...

We thoroughly enjoyed a week of travelling around South Australia in our Apollo rental car. The Hyundai Getz was delightful to drive and fitted our two suitcases in the boot where they could not be seen when we were away from the car. The cost of the rental was very reasonable and service in Adelaide when picking up and returning the car was excellent.

Australia's Wild West...

We picked up an Apollo 2 Berth Adventure Camper in Darwin and took 6 weeks to travel to Perth. On the way to Perth we visited Kakadu, Katherine, Kununarra and the Kimberleys (Gibb River Road, Fitzroy Crossing, Derby and Broome). From Broome we made our way to Marble Bar via 80 Mile Beach and then on to Mount Newman, Karijini, Nanutarra, Cape Range and Exmouth. From Exmouth we headed on the Yardi Creek track (4WD only!) to Coral Bay, Carnarvon, Shark Bay, Kalbarri, Geraldton, Lancelin and Perth plus the South West. Having a 4WD camper made all the difference to us as it allowed us to get off the beaten track to visit places in the Outback that I had last seen in the Seventies when I did geological fieldwork in Western Australia. We had a fantastic trip and the memories of which we'll cherish for many years.

Great Ocean Road...

We are indeed very happy and satisfied with the tip top condition of the car (which happened to be a brand new one) provided by Apollo Car Rentals . We loved driving along the Great Ocean Road to Princetown where we enjoyed the beautiful scenic view of the ocean, the Loch Ard Gorge and Twelve Apostles. We spent a night at a Holiday Park (which we joined as members) at Wye River. The park is so big and clean surrounded by bush and wildlife such as kookabaras, magpies and wild ducks. We would love to use your services for our next visit to Australia.

Our 4WD Adventure...

This was our first time in Australia and we chose to travel through the Northern Territory and Western Australia. Without the Apollo Adventure Camper we could not have visited the Bungle Bungles and many other beautiful places. It was fantastic.

Exploring southern Australia...

I hired a Cheapa Car from Apollo Car Rentals and although I was a little afraid that the car could be too small for the three of us, it turned out to be the perfect size! We started off in Sydney and headed for Canberra on the same day. We stopped quickly at Mt Annan National Park which was absolutely stunning! Unbelievable what views on the city you have from there! We then continued on to Canberra. A lot of people keep saying that there was nothing to look at in Canberra but I strongly disagree! We loved Canberra! Everything was nice and clean, the parliament was stunning and even though I am not a big “museum-person”, I loved the National Museum in Canberra. I would say it is one of the museums that you have to visit if you get the chance to!

From Canberra we made our way to Melbourne to stay with family friends. Melbourne is a great city with a lot to offer: friendly people, great nightlife, good shopping...I don’t even know where to stop! We went to the Mt Dandenong National Park and to Philip Island to see penguins and koalas close up. From Melbourne we made our way along the Great Ocean Road towards Adelaide. Yet again, the Great Ocean Road was a dream! We had really rough weather conditions when we were there, but it gave us a really nice impression of how rough and dangerous the sea can get around there. We spend so much time watching the strength of the water and the waves.

Finally, after 7 days, we made it to Adelaide and had to return our car. While we were sitting on the bus stop to get back to the city from the Apollo branch in Adelaide we were regretting very strongly not having a car anymore! It is just the best way to travel. You are independent and you can go wherever the road takes you! We loved it and we would always travel by car and chose Apollo again!

Territory Touring ...

We spent 6 weeks in Australia this summer and hired a 4 Berth Motorhome from Apollo for 3 weeks. We collected the motorhome in Alice Springs and then drove 5184 kilometres through the Northern Territory and Queensland. We travelled to Ayers Rock to see the sunset and sunrise and also visited Kings Canyon. We drove back to Alice Springs to do a hot air balloon ride and then headed up to Tennant Creek. From there we made our way through Camooweal, Richmond, Townsville, Bowen, Rockhampton, Maryborough and finally Brisbane. We took in Movieworld on the Gold Coast and Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast. We left the motorhome for a night to go across to Moreton Island (off Brisbane) where we fed the dolphins and did a whale watching cruise. We then left our campervan in Brisbane with fond memories before flying to Sydney for a week.

The campervan gave us the freedom to come and go as we pleased, stopping when and where ever we liked. We also used A campsite with the ensuite toilet and showers which we felt was spoiling ourselves a little. We travelled with our two children (aged 13 and 10) and they enjoyed their big adventure across Australia. We would definitely book with Apollo again and are planning to do the west coast of Australia next time and maybe get a 4WD camper.

Young at Heart...

Age (in our late 70's) is no barrier to enjoying a leisurely and educational holiday of a lifetime - thanks to Apollo's friendly staff, help and service. Darwin, Kakadu, Katherine Gorge and Litchfield National Park are a memorable holiday made enjoyable by the comfort and convenience travelling in an Apollo Hitop Campervan, which we thoroughly recommend and look forward to using again.

Family Fun...

Below are some photos from our recent holiday with our Apollo 4 Berth Euro Camper. We flew from our home in Sydney down to Melbourne to pick up our motorhome. We then went down to Phillip Island for the World Superbikes motorbike racing event. The motorhome was ideal, especially with our two young boys as it has built in toilet and shower to save queuing up for a portacabin one! It also had a TV and video to keep them amused in the evening, as well as a handy fridge for keeping their milk and our beer chilled! We stayed at the Phillip Island race circuit for two nights and had two nights at Cowes (the main town on the Island) which had a beautiful beach. We also visited the local animal park and hand fed the wallabies and other animals. We look forward to travelling with Apollo again later in the year for the next big event on the island.

A Day at the Races...

Our first ever camper experience was in February when we took an Apollo Hitop Campervan from Melbourne to Phillip Island for the Historic Motor Racing. The choice was made to use Apollo because of their close location to the airport and from the moment we arrived at their depot we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

The trip was interrupted by an overnight stop in Melbourne so that we could revisit out usual haunts. Driving a Hitop in traffic is no worse than driving a car. On the open road it is comfortable, very fuel efficient and a delight to be able to arrive on a site and be set up in a couple of minutes. Trackside at Phillip Island with the Apollo Hitop Campervan.

A stop at Dandenong to visit friends who could not believe that there was so much space in a Toyota. After four days we had never felt cramped, slept better than at home, we enjoyed just parking beside the beach and having lunch or a coffee, and a real feeling that it was our home. Next year we are doing it again only this time after the racing at Phillip Island the plan is to drive the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide and it will certainly be with Apollo. We can't wait!

A Great Trip Through Australia...

In august 2005 we have travelled in Australia from Adelaide to Darwin with our Apollo's Getz. We have had very nice days, and we NEED to return another time: we want to hear the silence of the night, we want to see kangaroos and koalas, we want to run away from crocodiles!! We have Australia in our minds..... And also thanks to Apollo Motorhome Holidays.

Holiday Reflections...

Who is your best friend (except your travel partner) while traveling the real Outback of Australia? It is definitely the Apollo 2 Berth Adventure Camper. We are talking from experience.

Last year we survived the Nullarbor together and this year it accompanied us faithfully and reliably from Alice Springs via the Meerenie Loop, the Oodnadatta Track and Birdsville Track to Carnarvon Gorge in Queensland and finally to Brisbane.

Left: Uschi and Juergen Dietz with the Apollo Adventure Camper

Being a long way from home, in the evening we could be sure that the big Engel fridge offered the most essential items after a long day in the desert: ice cold beer and crispy white wine. We enjoyed sitting in two comfortable chairs relaxing after hundreds of kilometres on bumpy roads.

When there was no barbeque or camp kitchen (always a good place to meet other crazy outback enthusiasts) we could do our cooking outside without having the smell inside. Often we were the attraction on the camp ground or parkings when suddenly the pop-top was pushed up and people saw that now the pick-up campervan was really big for two. Sometimes they came closer and asked if they could have a look inside. Then with pleasure we showed them our "little" house. It was our shelter when there were too many flies annoying us and the big bed promised a good sleep even with one of us snoring incredibly loud (space enough to move quite far away to right or left). Be sure we will come back and ask again for our best friend.

Perth – Exmouth – Perth...

We traveled from Perth to Exmouth and back. We spent a whole week in the Ningaloo Reef National park. We snorkelled every day in the Turquoise Bay and spent the nights in Tulki Beach, one of the official camp sites in this National Park. This part of Australia is definitively a place to go. The 3 Berth Euro Cruiser was ideal to enjoy this part of Australia and the service we got from the Apollo team was just great!

Our World Vacation...

Since 2003 we were in search of a great vacation. There was just one condition: the kids must come with us. Finally the destination chosen was Australia and the dream became a reality in 2005. We (a family with 2 little kids) travelled in July 2005 through Australia from Melbourne to Darwin.

It was a great vacation. We travelled with an Apollo 4 Berth Euro Camper. The only limit there was was the departure date. We could spend the time we wanted at each destination. With the Apollo camper we had always all our stuff with us. You don't need to pack and unpack. We would certainly recommend Apollo to anyone looking at hiring a campervan. The service was great. Thanks.

A Trip to Perth...

I am just writing to say a huge thank you for the use of the Euro Camper 4 Berth for our holiday to Perth. We had the best time and really appreciate your assistance in fulfilling a dream. Your staff were friendly and helpful at both ends of the trip and the campervan was amazing! It was easy to drive, very comfortable and with all its features it really made the journey such a pleasure. I am looking forwarding to recommending it to our customers and feel that the experience has really given me something extra that I can offer in providing first hand advice to assist in their planning and preparation, to ensure that they have as good a holiday as we did.

Our Outback Adventure...

For our second trip to Australia we choose Apollo for the comfort of their offer being a 3 Berth Euro Cruiser. The first time it was one of their known competitors. We were with a couple of friends who hired the same vehicle.

We drove from Darwin to Broome, with stops at Katherine, Kununurra and Fitzroy Crossing amongst others. The Euro Cruiser was perfect for a couple in their late fifties and was very easy to drive. The welcome at their Darwin office was great.

The Euro Cruiser was perfect for visiting the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The equipment inside the vehicle was what one can expect to have great holidays. So we are already planning a third trip in 2006 and with our double experience, we will go again with Apollo.

Adventure of a Lifetime...

Travelling with an Apollo 4WD campervan through Queensland is like a never ending dream. The freedom you have to choose every destination you like, the inviting and always changing horizons and campsites, is once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, take some time to prepare your trip thoroughly. The most wonderful campsites, some of them owned by the Queensland National Parks, are only open during school holidays and have just a few places available. Carnarvon National Park, situated at the mouth of the gorge and shaded by numerous trees, is such an example and offers a real bush experience. Listening to the shrieking sounds of sugar gliders and bush thick-knees at night or just watching the colourful rainbow parrots tasting the sweet nectar from the gumtree flowers in the early morning; we just had a feeling of being in the Garden of Eden.

We now know a little bit about your friendly neighbours such as wallaroos in Girraween National Park, brush tail wallabies in Marreeba or cool companions like a giant tree frog in the bathroom of a Daintree campsite. Finally, always remember the bush will never be your friend - it asks for respect and skill. Travelling the Daintree road in Northern Queensland (a must for 4WD drivers), is an exciting experience in the dry period, but in the wet, it will be only for the bravest and most skilled drivers.

Thanks to Apollo (and their agent Walkabout Australia, The Hague, Holland). My wife and I had one of our most exiting holidays and we shall certainly choose Apollo and this type of campervan again!

Honeymoon in Australia...

From September to November my husband and I spent an amazing honeymoon in Australia. With the Apollo Hitop Campervan we enjoyed every second of our trip up the beautiful West Coast from Perth to Darwin. Camping live was just great; We felt so free and we could go wherever we liked and stop whenever we wanted.Because we had so much fun during this time, we decided in Alice Springs to try the Adventure Camper. Even if we didn't made a reservation in advance, the staff was very helpful and we could pick up a car two days later. That's what I call customer service. Apollo Hitop Camper

The Adventure Camper is much more than just a four wheel drive. It's got all you need for a comfortable camping trip - even airconditioning - but the best thing was the huge bed! The time in the Red Center was fantastic. All these colours and the sensational sky at night. Nowhere else you can see the stars shining so bright like in the Outback. Last but not least, we rented another Hitop and drove down the East Coast from Cairns to Sydney where our absolutely fabulous trip finally had to end. But this won't be our last time in beautiful Australia: We'll come back, that's for sure, to Australia and Apollo.

Queensland Cruising...

Looking for 'something' different, my husband and I decided to holiday in Australia. Being in the UK obviously made things difficult when it came to looking for reputable campervan hire companies. However, as soon as we saw Apollo's web site; we knew we had found the right people. Able to cater for our needs, Apollo swiftly became our first choice. Booking was simple, and they kept us informed every step of the way; giving you that piece of mind you need when you are 10,000 miles away. Our Apollo holiday was so enjoyable that we went back a second time...and are dreaming of a third!

Our 'Big' Journey...

We recently travelled through North Queensland with an Apollo 4 Berth motorhome. We really liked the independence that the motorhome offered - we could spend as much or as little time as we wanted at each destination.

We knew that Australia was home to a lot of "big things" but we didn't expect to come across so many on our trip! We would certainly recommend Apollo to anyone looking at hiring a campervan or motorhome for their next holiday. Thanks again!

Travelling with 'Pollo'...

Our last holidays in Australia were fantastic and renting the Apollo 4WD Adventure Camper was a great part of this success! We could sleep down by the beach, in the middle of the kangaroos or the cockatoos. We spent 17 days with ‘Pollo' as we named it. He was a real friend that we could trust everyday and in every situation. From Sydney to Adelaide via the Royal National Park, Blue Mountains National Park, Camberra, Mt Kosciusko National Park, Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road and Coorong NP - we were living in a dream!
