Gateway Responsible Tourism

Gateway Motorhomes is known for our quality and innovation. As the majority of our customers come to New Zealand because of the environment, we have been considering the environmental and social impact of our business since we started.

Being a sustainable, environmentally-responsible company is about considering how our business can operate and our customers can enjoy New Zealand whilst having a minimal impact on the environment. We see sustainability as encompassing the habits of our customers and staff, working with the community, reducing waste going to landfill, recycle whenever possible, reducing fuel and energy usage and showing constant innovation in the development of our product.


Our sustainability strategy includes:

  • Operating the most environmentally-friendly and fuel-efficient motorhomes and campervans on the market.
  • Encouraging our customers to behave in a way that leaves the NZ environment cleaner than when they arrived – and facilitate this behaviour.
  • Requiring our staff to embrace environmentally friendly practises in both their personal and working lives.
  • Influencing our business partners to adopt environmentally-friendly practises.

Specific initiatives Gateway has implemented include:

  • All our vehicle engines comply to the highest European/international emissions standards, and our fleet is renewed within every 5 years
  • All Our 2, 3 and 4 berth campervans are fully self-contained - suitable for free camping
  • We service our vehicles regularly, clean and maintain the air filters, and have an EGR system and/or particle filter in each vehicle to reduce exhaust emissions
  • We use long-life oils and we recycle our waste oil, vehicle batteries and tyres
  • The campervan/motorhome component of our vehicles (everything except the chassis) is made in NZ
  • We recycle our paper and cardboard, as well as plastics and cans
  • We offer GPS systems as an alternative to paper maps so our customers can travel by the most efficient route
  • We include a GPS audio commentary system so that there is no need to have a guide book
  • We supply our customers with “BioMagic” environmentally friendly and 100% biodegradable toilet chemical.
