Covid-19 has changed the way Kiwis go on holiday!
The Pandemic has had its effect on how Kiwis go on holiday and even with the Pacific travel bubbles opening up its not going to change much any day soon. Some of us may be able to afford travel overseas and take the risk of a lockdown but the rest of us will be taking our holidays in NZ for some time to come. Our international tourist destinations are alive with local accents but accommodation can still be expensive for the average family of Mum, Dad, and the kids to enjoy an annual break. If this is your situation, Club Paihia is a private resort in the Bay of Islands that can offer members a week's stay for family of up to 6 at around about $1000!!! With 99.8% occupancy it has all the luxury & amenities that makes it one of the most popular destinations in NZ. If you are on a limited budget but still want the best NZ holiday ever, then contact Bill on 021904977 at FoCP to find how it can work for you!
