Conversion Story

Kōtare is the latest addition to Stephen and Suzanne's beautiful Quirky camper family. Named after the kōtare, New Zealand's native kingfisher, she takes her cue from a bird as striking as it is at home wherever it lands, all vivid teal-blues and warm, sandy tones, patient and easygoing and never happier than when out exploring the coast and countryside. Much like her namesake, Kōtare is calm, characterful and ready for adventure. "We had so much fun bringing the colours of the kōtare to life in this one, and we hope she becomes your home from home as you discover this beautiful country. Have fun out there."
