There’s something magical about the open road—about waking up to a new view, discovering hidden tracks, and travelling at your own pace. That’s the spirit behind our partnership with VanMania: to help you experience Tasmania the way it’s meant to be—unhurried, connected, and filled with natural warmth.

Born from the Ocean, Built for the Road 

VanMania is no ordinary campervan hire company. Founded by two former Navy mates who once navigated the open sea, VanMania was born from a desire to explore the untamed beauty of Australia by land. Their story is one of adventure, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the comforts of home—even when that home is on wheels. 

From day one, VanMania set out to build more than just campervans. They’ve created immersive travel experiences—ones that feel uniquely Australian. With thoughtfully designed vans featuring Starlink connectivity, plush beds, indoor and outdoor showers, and premium finishes, every VanMania vehicle is made for freedom and comfort. Whether you’re chasing waterfalls in the Tarkine, stargazing at Bruny Island, or parking up by a misty forest in the Huon Valley, VanMania lets you roam freely—without sacrificing ease. 

The Comforts of Home—Wherever You Roam 

At Waverley Mills, we understand the importance of comfort—especially when you’re out adventuring. That’s why we’ve partnered with VanMania to bring the warmth of Tasmanian wool along for the ride. Every VanMania van now comes equipped with a Waverley Mills wool blanket and throw—adding a soft, natural layer of warmth to your journey, no matter where you park. 

It’s a partnership grounded in shared values: craftsmanship, sustainability, and a deep love of Tasmania. Our blankets are made just outside Launceston at Australia’s oldest working weaving mill—woven from natural fibres, finished by hand, and designed to last a lifetime. When you wrap yourself in Waverley wool inside a VanMania van, you’re wrapped in 150 years of heritage, comfort, and care. 

Together, We’re Helping You Explore Tasmania—Naturally 

This partnership is about more than comfort—it’s about connecting people to place. Through thoughtfully crafted products and purpose-built vehicles, we’re helping travellers slow down, explore mindfully, and rediscover the simple pleasures of wild places and woollen warmth. 

Whether you’re brewing coffee at dawn, reading in a hammock by the beach, or watching the stars from your van bed, Waverley and VanMania are there to make it feel like home.
