Hi Estelle! Fellow Singaporean here, going on a campervan trip to NZ South Island in end Aug-mid Sept 2025. May I know during which month your trip was? Just wanna get a feel of how cold it can be. I'm also planning to do freedom camping/ camping in DOC unpowered sites - is it painfully cold esp overnight?

Hello Amanda!:) My trip was from 14-29Sep! The weather really varied when we were in the city vs mountaineous area like Mt Cook! With the heater, the nights were actually alright. The van also had hot water bag & fleece blanket which helped as well! Of course we also brought along Uniqlo Heat tech, and those packet hand warmers for sustenance👍 Weather can vary from -9°c to about 0°C in mountain areas but can be around ~14°C in cities. It is definitely warmer in the sun as well compared to when it rained! Actually this time we projected to be spring but actually some areas were still in winter 😂

[@Estellelyy]

Hey! Thanks for watching👍 Approximately for our 14 days road trip, it was around $2k SGD😊 A really good deal if you asked me. We even topped up for additional camping tables and chairs but did not end up using as it was too cold😂
