NZ4U2U is a family-run caravan hire and tiny home business at 9 Lake Bryndwr Lane in Burnside, Christchurch, and it has been hiring caravans from its Christchurch base since 2016. It rents short-term caravan holidays and offers tiny homes for long-term rent, sale and hire. The caravans come in a compact two-berth model and larger four- and five-berth models, with permanent, bunk or convertible beds. Water and waste tanks, campsite power, cooking and cleaning supplies, insurance and a GPS module come as standard, and a Wi-Fi modem is an extra. The tiny homes, which the website calls tiny houses on wheels, are built by a local team in Christchurch. Check-in and checkout are done online, and the hire uses a contactless system.
Customers say the caravans are super clean, with a good heating system and everything needed for a stay, so that all a guest needs to bring is their food and clothes. Online check-in and checkout worked smoothly for one renter, who said they would hire again. A tiny home buyer, who has lived in theirs for about 18 months, said the build quality is excellent, the home is double glazed and well insulated, and it is warm and cheap to heat. Caravans suit families, couples and groups of friends, and the website points to lower costs than other holiday types. The business sits in Burnside, on the western side of Christchurch.
