Andrea & Family
We a family of 4 were very happy with our time in Charlie. We had him for 3 weeks & just wished we could stay longer. We loved the full sized fridge, it was certainly a hit with the kids to store their ice-cream! The rooftop tent made this space into a 2 bedroom apartment. The beds were SUPER COMFTY! The list is endless, we would highly recommend hiring Charlie.

We had the best time in Charlie the coaster. 100% recommend the experience. We will definitely hire him again. The bed is the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on & the kitchen is fantastic, everything you could ever need. Having a full sized fridge made life so much easier. The rooftop tent was a big hit with the kids. Dan & Holly were a pleasure to deal with & were really helpful when we started to plan our trip. We didn't want our holiday to end.

OMG, it was love at first sight. It was such a wonderful expierence travelling with Charlie that we didnt want to give him back. Everything is made so clever and done with love. There is enough space, we didnt miss anything and could have lived in for a longer period of time. Even the videos from Dan and Holly are made funstastic and explaining everthing in an interesting professional way. Communication was fabulous at any time even though the owners stayed in the UK.

What People are often Asking
Can I Take Charlie Off road?
We know there are lots of awesome places to discover in our beautiful state but we ask that you stick to the designated road-worthy bitumen. BORING! we hear you. Trust us this is tried & tested, from our own experiences Charlie does not enjoy being taken off-road or unsealed roads (Please Note: insurance & roadside assistance will be void in this instance).
Although there is often short roads into station stays that are unsealed if you stay below 15km/ph you will be fine.
Do You Have A Minimum Hire?
We all know that when we take a holiday the first 2 days are a settling in, a switching off, right! Only then do we really start to relax & enjoy our adventure. With that & you in mind we have a 5 day minimum hire on Charlie to allow you the best opportunity to really experience all that Off Grid Living has to offer.
Is The Rooftop Tent Suitable For Kids?
The rootop tent is certainly a fun addition to our bus. Our intention for this space was to create an area where our teenage daughters could hang out, have a little privacy & also when its just the grown ups another space for us to chill out with a birds eye view on your latest stop. Not to mention the awesome stargazing platform up there.
We would recommend a 10yrs + for this magical experience as there are no barriers on the sides of the decking (there is plenty of space to move around but we need to have our sensible hats on at all times. The tent itself is fully contained.
Do You Provide Linen/Towels etc?
Yes, Everything Will Be Clean & Ready For You To Head Off At Pick Up.
All Beds Will Be Made Up & Beach Towels Under The Bed.
Do I Need A Special Licence To Take Charlie On A Adventure?
We Wanted To Make Charlie Accessible To Everyone So You Can Absolutely Take Him On An Adventure With A Standard Australian Driving License.

Our Minimum Age for Hire is 25 Years Old.
