About

This is Izzy.

A 4-berth Avida Birdsville with a teal stripe, a slideout, and a habit of finding the best parks. She lives in Gulfview Heights with two humans who’d rather she was out exploring than sitting in the driveway.

Her story

She wasn’t
meant to be hired out.

We bought Izzy in 2024 because we were sick of driving past every “for hire” sign on the highway and never being one of those people. We took her out, kept taking her out, and ran out of weekends before we ran out of places to go.

So we put her on Camplify. Now the weeks we can’t use her, someone else can — and she gets to do what motorhomes are made for instead of sitting in our driveway depreciating.

“The Birdsville’s the family-sized one. Slideout for the lounge, proper double up front, a bunk-and-dinette setup at the back that makes a second double. It’s the one you’d actually live in.”— Paul, half of the “Izzy and us” team

We’ve taken her up the Murray, around the Yorke, into the Fleurieu and the Flinders. She’s good on dirt as long as it’s reasonable and dry. She’s not made for full off-grid bashing — she’s made for the kind of trip where you sleep with the windows open and wake up to galahs.

If you book her, we’ll meet you at our place in Gulfview Heights with the kettle on, do a real walkaround, and set you off with the linen made up. We’re a text away the whole time you’ve got her.

What we hope you’ll do with her

Take your time. Don’t try to do 800km in a day. Park up at sunset somewhere with a view. Cook a curry in the kitchen because you can. Take the kids out of school for two days during the week and tell yourself you’ll catch up on Monday. Send Izzy a postcard on the socials.

Where she’s been

Selected highlights.

Apr ’26

The Riverland

Five days along the Murray — Walker Flat, Mannum, Swan Reach. The clifftop park at Headings Cliffs was Izzy’s favourite. Sunsets made up for it.

Apr ’26

Yorke Peninsula

Innes National Park, Pondalowie Bay. Sand dunes, deserted beaches, only a few other vans. Izzy got her tyres very dirty.

Feb ’26

Fleurieu & Granite Island

Long weekend down to Victor Harbor and Goolwa. Fish & chips on the foreshore. Izzy parked overlooking the causeway and we forgot what day it was.

Mar ’26

Flinders Ranges

Wilpena Pound, Brachina Gorge. Big country, bigger silence. The annexe earned its keep when the wind came up at Rawnsley Park.

Now it’s your turn.

Pick a date. We’ll have her ready, kettle on.
