1987 Volkswagen Westfalia
1987 Volkswagen Westfalia

When is the last time you did something for the first time?
Our Westy is encouraging you to step away from cruising on auto-pilot through your daily routine and inviting you to get into our driver’s seat where new experiences will bring you excitement and adventure. Feel a sense of aliveness as you explore our own backyard and immerse yourself in Mother Nature’s beauty.
We have enjoyed many days on the road in our vans and we want to give you the opportunity to see what we see and feel what we feel.
Our vans are driven and maintained on a regular basis. The Volkswagen Westfalia campervans are in their 30’s (that’s 60 in human years) and are meant for slow-rolling travel, reminding you it’s about the journey, and not the destination. We recommend driving this van not more than 400kms per day and to drive at a max of 100km/hr. These are manual transmissions and require experience with a stick shift. Please note our vans do not accommodate child car seats.
The van sleeps 4 and has a kitchenette with a 2-burner gas stove, sink and fridge. It is equipped with cooking essentials. The pop-top roof has a skylight and extra bed. There is decent cabinet space, rotating front seats, a dining table, electric hook ups, propane tank, and privacy curtains.
Last but not least, in sharing the van life and open roads with you, we honour our late brother Michael, who journeyed for 8 years with brain cancer. He lived with a huge spirit of seeking adventure and explored our Canadian landscape and beyond. He reached miles, both in width and in height and his life was expansive and rich because of what he chose to make of it. He was a true inspiration and modelled kindness, bravery, resilience, humility and demonstrated the power of the human mind and what we are capable of. Check out our amazing world through his eyes on Instagram at @clements1985.

We love to explore both the well travelled paths and the unbeaten ones. Every road leads somewhere, and we are often choosing our adventure along the way, as we go. Planning can be wonderful, but we highly suggest you leave time open for the unplanned and unexpected....this is where the magic lies! Enjoy!

Paula and Arno V. canceled the booking 6 days before departure. This is an automated posting.
Paula and Arno’s answer
We are responding to this automated posting to explain that this cancellation was done due to extensive and unrepairable damage to the vehicle while being rented. Unfortunately, this particular van won't be available until next season. Paula and Arno

Spotless classic van!
Paula and Arno were super thorough in explaining how all the bells and whistles work in the van.
Well stocked, super clean, and the van purred down the highway.
Will definitely rent again.
Thanks again Paula and Arno :)
