Travel in Comfort and Style

New Zealand Frontiers operates the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2+2 berth motorhome – developed for off grid living with premium specifications to provide you with the kind of road trip that dreams are made of.



Designed for your comfort, immaculately presented, competitively priced and free from hidden costs. Your spacious, fully equipped home away from home. New Zealand Frontiers’ clients regularly return from their adventures with tales of envious fellow travellers wanting to know who they hired from.

For the 2024/25 season New Zealand Frontiers returns from a pandemic-induced hiatus to resume our more than 20 year legacy with brand new vehicles that feature 1.9 meters headroom in an air-conditioned living area. A home away from home that includes complete kitchen facilities with quality utensils, gas stove, refrigerator, microwave oven… there’s even a Nespresso machine! All available without the need for an external power source. In the fully ventilated bathroom you’ll find pressurized hot and cold water, a shower, hand basin and flush toilet, along with a heater outlet that turns it into a drying room for towels and rain gear if needed. A permanently made double bed retracts into the roof at the push of a button when not in use and provides a level of comfort that genuinely surprises Frontiersfolk. With four seats on board you get the choice of two dining areas and the option of two additional smaller bunks if travelling with children. Fully insulated and air-conditioned interiors ensure everyone stays warm, dry and healthy whether travelling in the heat of summer or driving snowy roads during winter, without the need for external power supply. Certified as fully self-contained and with extra solar panels charging the huge house batteries for extended freedom camping, our motorhomes are built for off-grid comfort and come supplied with all the bedding and equipment required for a road trip to remember.

Powered by a reliable 3 litre V6 turbo diesel engine and packed with safety features that include driver and co-driver airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, crosswind assist, lane keeping assist, hill start assist, park assist and roll over mitigation, you will find yourself enjoying relaxing power, exceptional fuel economy and ease of parking for the ultimate Mercedes-Benz driving experience. Rentals are backed by a friendly 24/7 helpline and the kind of personal service and competence that comes with years of experience.

Let the spirit of freedom invigorate your soul with a New Zealand Frontiers motorhome vacation!

Freedom filled road trips with all the comforts of home, but without having to pack your bags and be out of your room by 10 each morning. At New Zealand Frontiers we take pride in offering premium quality motorhomes designed for superior off-grid comfort. By dealing directly with clients who often become friends, we remove the middle man from the booking process and achieve savings that allow us to offer some of the best motorhomes available at the same rates other operators charge for basic model vehicles. In fact when we run enquiries received through quote generators on the websites of our competitors, they often cost thousands of dollars more.

Our two + two layout provides spacious luxury for couples travelling alone, with comfortable seating for four that offers a choice of dining locations. A design that incorporates a large electrically retracting double bed, along with two single bunks and linen for up to two adults and two children. A design based upon decades of experience in the industry. The Mercedes-Benz V6 engine option makes highway cruising and mountain passes a breeze while remaining easy to manoeuvre in urban environments. An upgraded entertainment system with spoken commands ensures great sounds and ease of navigation. Almost 500 amp hours of on board power supply permit independent air conditioned comfort even when wilderness camping, complimented by a diesel powered heater that turns the shower and toilet into a drying room. Cosy evenings in the Alps and the ability to stay cool on sweltering summer days. Other premium features include long range fuel tanks, privacy glass on the panoramic windows, a picnic table and chairs, a microwave oven, a generous fridge and fresh water tank, and the luxury of a Nespresso machine that guarantees each day of your journey starts with a smile. Refinements that enhance your travels to a level that has been universally complimented for more than 20 years both by clients and proud new owners of the vehicles once they’re sold from our fleet.

Don’t call it a dream – call it a plan. To awaken in new surroundings each day is one of life’s most invigorating experiences.
