Australia is more than a country; it is a continent, and if you are planning a holiday Down Under, the best way to see and experience the beauty of the wilderness is by hiring a motorhome or campervan, with the freedom and independence that comes with self-contained travel.
Here are 5 reasons to choose a self-driving campervan holiday in Australia.
There is nothing to compare with that feeling of leaving with a vehicle full of provisions in a self-contained motorhome with its own solar power unit. Go where you like and stay as long as you please; the only condition is that you return the vehicle on the date agreed. Many families set out with a rough idea of where they are going but no fixed schedule, and when you find a nice beach cove, stay a few days.
When you hire the latest generation of campervan, there are so many devices, appliances and gadgets factored into the design. When you find a nice spot to park up, unroll the solar blanket, open the awning and you’re good to go! If you want a nap, close the windscreen shade and turn on the a/c; The helpful staff show you all the features and mod cons that come with a top-rated campervan and with nationwide support, you know you’re in good hands.
As your accommodation is also your transport, there are zero accommodation costs; a family holiday is actually affordable, plus you can afford to dine out whenever you feel like it. Crunch the numbers, and you’ll see how affordable a motorhome holiday is; even with all your provisions and fuel, you still spend less than you would for a resort stay. The Internet can help you to calculate the total costs of your all-inclusive holiday and there are no nasty shocks awaiting.
Most families are happy to explore the Northern Territories, and with a full stock of water and provisions, you can disappear for 4-5 days and never see a single person! Of course, Australia is massive, and Google Earth can help you zoom in on specific regions with every square metre of the nation available. Research the native Australian people and get to know about their long and colourful culture, plus the wildlife is unlike that of any other country.
Taking the family for a tour of Australia is a unique bonding experience and your kids will learn so much and develop a relationship with Mother Nature. Sleeping under the stars is a great way to spend your downtime, and you are bound to encounter some of the diverse wildlife.
When compared to traditional package holidays, it makes complete sense to rent a campervan and enjoy the freedom and independence of the open road.
