Meet Ozzy's owners...
Since backpacking Australia 20 years ago in a clapped out banger, we dreamed of owning our own camper van and exploring the winding coastal roads of the UK. That dream became a reality in 2017 beginning years of pursuing hidden gems off the beaten track with our three kids. In 2023 we sold our VW T5 and bought this 'solid as a rock' Fiat Ducato and spent the summer lovingly converting it into a boho/country kitchen style camper called Ozzy!
Years of van life experience means we totally get the importance of having a comfortable and reliable vehicle that meets the demands of the road. Ozzy is equipped with all the essentials for those memory making moments, including a cozy sleeping quarters with a proper bed, a fully equipped kitchen with all the essentials to make your trip stress free and fun!
We're 100% committed to making sure your rental experience is as good as it gets, whether you're planning a cheeky weekend away or the road-trip of a lifetime - let's get the show on the road!
Can't wait to meet you... Matt & Jo xx

Living the Vanlife!
Welcome to Van Life: Your Adventure Starts with Ozzy
We get it - Vanlife isn't for everyone, but if you've got adventure running through your veins then there's an unforgettable experience waiting around every corner. We've clocked up enough miles and learnt more than a few things about life on the open road so, we thought we'd give you a little heads up before you hit the road!
So, you’ve hired Ozzy the van—very good choice. You’re not just renting a camper; you’re stepping into a slower, simpler, more adventurous way of living. Whether it’s a weekend escape or a week-long wander, van life has a way of shifting your perspective. And Ozzy? He’s the perfect companion for the ride.
Adventure, the Ozzy Way
There’s something special about life on the open road. No two mornings are the same. One day you might wake up to sunrise over a peaceful lake, the next you’re parked beside a hidden coastal cove, brewing coffee with your feet dangling out the back.
Ozzy is more than transport from A-Z—he’s your cosy cabin on wheels. A place where you can breathe, unwind, and remember that the best moments in life are often the simplest.
Compact Living, Big Experience
Don’t let the size fool you—Ozzy is fully kitted out for life on the go. Inside you’ll find clever storage, comfy bedding, a handy little kitchen, and thoughtful touches to make you feel right at home. It’s small-space living with a big heart.
This isn’t about going without—it’s about realising how little you actually need to live well.
A Few Practical Tips to Get You Started
- Pack light. Trust us, Ozzy’s got what you need. Less clutter = more headspace. We normally get enough food supplies to last just a couple of days and top up as we go along.
- Stay organised. Use storage cubes or soft bags. Keep essentials (torch, toothbrush, chargers) within easy reach.
- Take it slow. Van life is about the journey, not the schedule. Don’t cram your days. Stop often. Breathe deeply.
- Respect the wild. Leave no trace. Be kind to the land and people you meet along the way.
- Chase the simple joys. Morning coffee with a view. A wild swim. Campfire chats. Starry skies. That’s the gold.
- TOP TIP! put your phone to bed! Make the most of the opportunity to with off and recharge - take it all in, look up, and sleep as much as you want!
This Isn’t Just a Trip—It’s a Taste of Freedom
When you hire Ozzy, you're not just hiring a van—you’re choosing to live differently for a while. More present. More playful. More connected to what really matters.
So roll down the windows, turn up your favourite playlist, and let the road unfold. Your story with Ozzy is about to begin—and we can’t wait to hear where it takes you.
