Meet Hazel Armstrong

Our 1964 Volkswagen Kombi, located in Pottsville on the beautiful North Coast of New South Wales. Hazel has been part of our family since 2001, when we picked her up as a wreck needing a ground up restoration. 3 years of blood, sweat and tears put her back on the road in the Netherlands and since then we enjoyed some amazing trips across Europe. In September 2020, she finally arrived in Australia to rejoin our family of six!

Hazel has been the vehicle of choice for many unforgettable wedding, formal and event; she even featured as the backdrop for a global advertising campaign! Our family run business operates a chauffeured limousine service anywhere near Byron Bay, Tweed, the Gold Coast and Hinterlands, ensuring you can move between locations in style. Get in touch to discuss your unique request and we'll make sure we tailor it to your every need.
