LET'S MEET THE LADIES
Bertha
The first love - the prototype
This van will always have a special place in our hearts. She was made with all the love in the world - and it shows! A "giant" bed (for a van) - the ultimate mobile chill-out spot.
Bertha is made for the simple life but she is fitted with everything you'll need - she is the perfect partner for cruising down the coast
Capacity 2 adults + 1 child
RITA - Your perfect adventure-companion
Rita is a a sazzy little lady. A German in her prime, she drives like a dream and is fitted with all the latest developments. Equipped with all you'll need for a comfortable exploration of Portugal.
Whether you wanna surf, hike or just enjoy the beautiful scenery - Rita is the one for you.
Capacity 2 adults + 1 child
LOLA - READY JULY 2018
Your epic home on wheels
Lola is a 1977 VW LT and she has so much soul.
She's equipped with a great kitchen, bathroom with a toilet and comfortable bed-space for the whole family/band.
We can't wait to show you more pictures ASAP.
Capacity 4-5 adults
“Simon was super communicative, and as I had no idea where to go, helped me plan a route from all of his favourite spots (all great).
Bertha was exactly as described; not some soulless rental, but clearly a labour of love, with everything you could possibly need stowed out of sight in a series of sliding drawers. A comfy mattress and thick duvet meant we slept soundly and warmly, even in the cold November nights. We cooked pancakes for breakfast almost directly on the beach with the pull-out stove.
Forget the other vans, this is the one!”
