“We absolutely love Tukana. She felt like a home away from home. The bed was warm, comfortable and the paul clearly had thought of all the small things that you would need on your trip but would be a nuisance to buy/bring yourself. He had excellent communication and we cannot recommend his vans but especially tukana more!”

“We had a fantastic trip in Natunu recently. The van was perfect for our week long road trip around beautiful Tasmania, taking us everywhere we wanted to go, in style and comfort. All the amenities were catered for and the bed was extra comfortable! Pauls communication was excellent throughout the booking process and during the trip- would highly recommend- we cant wait to go back for a longer trip! Plenty of charging stations along the way made the trip smooth and agree free :)”

“The overall experience was fair, only the weather and strong wind leads us driving a little difficult! Small suggestion for CamperVan user, finding a great camper site to enjoy hot shower, you will find more enjoyable compare to do it within the van. Paul has been extremely helpful from the beginning to the end of the trip. We have been encounter some little issues but his response and guiding was amazing to help us through the trip and we have a good one.”

“To start with, Paul is an amazing guy. Very friendly and happy to help you with anything you need. Loved the detailed Google map he provided with all the places he loves in Tasmania. This map makes it easier to find hidden gems (hiking, eating, sleeping, shopping etc). We rented Larila, which is a well equiped van. Looks modern inside, with a very comfortable big bed and pillows for 2 people. There are lots of tiny details like an USB-C charger input, reading light, salt, pepper, oil, binoculars and even sunscreen. So you just need to buy the food you actually want to cook (and Toilet paper). It comes with 2 outside chairs and table too. It holds plenty of water for cleaning dishes and a cold shower. There are enough water refill points in Tasmania as well. You can see Paul invested a lot of time and money into his vans. I really recommend it!”

“We absolutely loved hiring Kunanyi and were sad to say goodbye to her at the end of our trip. She was practical, reliable and had everything we needed for our 10day Tassie adventure. Paul was passionate about all things Tassie and the van. He was friendly and organised and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire a van.”

Grace

“The van was perfect for the trip! The mattress is comfortable and big, the van stays warm all night and it is very clean. Paul is thorough, available and organised. He gave us everything we needed for the weekend trip. Thanks again”

“We were thrilled with our choice of Lutruwita for a 5 day trip in Western Tasmania. Cosy, warm nights off grid with plenty of battery power from the sonar panels. Beautifully designed and best experience yet of a hire camper. Looking forward to next time!”

Christine

“I spent a week exploring Tasmania in kunanyi, and couldn't imagine a better way to have done this trip. I'm very glad I spent the time to look for an independent van hire service, allowing me to communicate with a real local, and rent a real van built for this beautiful state. It had everything I needed and more, allowing me to focus on simply how I would spend my free time, rather than worrying about what equipment I was missing or problem solving constantly. I was able to relax and soak up the surrounds - exactly what I intended on this adventure - in comfort and warmth! (This van's bed was seriously more comfortable than my own)”

“*Makala + Paul = 10/10 Took Makala around Bruny Island and had the best time. Seriously well set up hot shower, lights, inside ventilation, shade for cooking outside, and a great bed after big days exploring. Paul is a legend. His energy, local knowledge, and genuine help made our Tassie adventure what it was. Felt like we had a mate looking out for us the whole trip. Zero stress, all adventure. Book it. David & Anita”

Anita

“So pleased we found tasvanlife life for our rental. We had the best trip around Tasmania. Makala had everything we needed for our trip and Pauls list of hidden gems was a great help to us planning things to do and most importantly where to get our morning coffee!! If we are ever in Tassie again we will 100% rent from Paul again. Super helpful, friendly and you can see a lot of thought has gone into the design of his vans. Thanks again, Paul”

Hannah

“Tukana was great partner for exploring Tas.. very well equipped and the ideal size for two of us on the narrow twisty roads around the island. Paul was very helpful with advice and suggestions and always responded promptly to any messages. 5 stars all round!”

Andrew

“Excellent and living up to all our expectations! We loved traveling in Tukana, it was comfortable to drive and live in for 10 days, it had everything we needed, from warm bedding and towels to cooking utensils to spices and oil. Paul is a great bloke who gave us good travel tips and we could feel how much he cared for the van himself, which made it feel so much more personal. The only thing we wished to was to take the van home:)”

Alyssa

“Nipaluna was a great first experience for my partner and I. The van was reliable on the roads, handled well very with the twists, turns and hills of Tasmania. Additionally the van had the necessary camping accessories included with the hire, making it very easy for us to pickup and hit the road without having to gather extra camping supplies.”

Brandon

“We had such an amazing experience with Paul and his colleague Nehal! They were so accommodating and friendly. The van was excellent and was so easy to use for people who were knewer to the camping scence! We had such an amazing time and was made all the better by such amazing service!”

Andie

“Paul helped us out with a last minute trip after we had been let down with another company, and had us on the road within hours! His communication and recommendations were fantastic, providing us with everything we needed for a perfect trip. The van was wonderful, and the comfy bedding made it super homely. We had the best trip thanks to Paul, and we cant wait to book the next one. Highly recommend.”

Grace

“Taluna was a great van for our 11-day trip. Its easy to drive for its size, with a strong engine and a very comfortable drivers seat. Travelling with a child, the front bench and second bed setup suited us well. The lift-up bed is a standout super comfortable and perfect for keeping the lounge space clear during the day. The interior is stylish, and having a full kitchen plus shower/toilet made wet days enjoyable. Note that van has a few quirks that differ to the Hiace fleet like stiff passenger seats (use cushion), manual locking of kitchen doors, a delicate lounge table, and a sticky sliding door (typical Mercs) which are all fine once you become familiar. You will find Paul a very professional and informative host and his vision of tasvanlife to be admired.”

Clay

“We had a great time exploring beautiful Tassie in Taluna as first time vanners! Paul gave us a thorough introduction and plenty of advice for places to stop and visit along the way. The van was comfortable and a great place to snuggle up at the end of each day.”

Natalie

“The most attractive part of the van was how small it was which made it easy to park and drive if youre new to camper vanning and also had its advantages finding small camping spots. Everything was clean and functionally located in the van and Paul was very thorough in the walkthrough when we picked it up”

Jacob

“Tasmania was a grand tour made possible by Tasvan. I was able to travel from Hobart to Mount field to Lake St Clair and Cradle Mountain to Narampatu to Freycinet to Maria Island and Hobart again. Along the way I saw echidnas, Tasmanian Devils, wombats, platypus, wallabies and eastern grey Kangaroo. Using the van made the journey quite easy and comfortable in that I w didnt have to look for hotels and could sleep inside. The van handles like a car and I would rate this as one of my best roadtrips ever. Paul was a kind and helpful person as well. Gday Mate.”

Dylan

“We hired a van named Lana and she came spotlessly clean and fully kitted out with everything we needed cleaning materials, kitchen supplies, towels, chairs, and a table all included as standard. We added on two paddle boards, which were perfect for relaxing along the East Coast in the sunny weather. Paul's communication was excellent throughout the entire experience from the booking process, where he handled our requests and amendments with ease, right through to the return of the van. I accidentally broke one of the chairs, and there was also a minor wear and tear issue with the van itself, but Paul couldn't have been more understanding about both. He didn't attempt to pin the wear and tear on us or charge for the broken chair that kind of honesty and goodwill says a lot about the person behind the business. Paul is a local, which made it even more special knowing we were supporting a small local business. We loved spotting other Tasvanlife vans at various spots along our journey. Highly recommended!”

Josh

“We spent 10 days in kunai and these 10 days are in our top 3 trips. Kunai is a tough 4x4 classic with everything what is needed to explore Tasmania. Although it is a little bit slower It reached the places about which a standard campervan user could only dream about. Paul is a very flexible and friendly person. He was always ready to help so we felt very supported and safe on our trip.”
