REAL VAN / REAL FAMILY TRIPS
A family-owned six-berth KEA Horizon with three sleeping zones and practical support for New Zealand road trips.
The KEA Horizon uses its length well. There is a cafe dinette at the front, a panoramic U-shaped lounge at the rear and a clear walkway between the kitchen, bathroom and sleeping areas.
Hey Buddy is one family-owned vehicle. The motorhome in these photos is the one you book.

Eat, plan tomorrow or slow down while the view changes outside.

Flexible living is the Horizon's strength. The front dinette and panoramic rear lounge let a family eat, play, plan and reset without crowding around one table.
The rear U-shaped lounge wraps around broad tinted windows. It is the main dining room, planning table and quiet corner.
The front cafe dinette gives you a second table. Breakfast can happen while the rear stays set up for a slower morning.
The internal bathroom has a separate shower, vanity and cassette toilet, with hot water available on the road.
The two main sleeping areas have proper sprung mattresses. The over-cab bed can stay ready while the two dinettes handle daytime living and convert when needed.
