We Say, You Say: Covid-19 forces hostels to slash prices
Hi Northland,
Backpackers around the country have cut their prices to survive a fall in bookings due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Occupancy has averaged around 32 per cent between June to September this year compared to previous years. Hone Heke Lodge in Kerikeri has some seasonal workers booked in but capacity is still half of what it usually would be.
What else do you think will bring travellers to Northland?

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
Needing a place to live , long term
Hello to all , I hope you are all having an amazing Christmas holiday season and being safe, I live in Peria which I have lived for over 11 years. My daughter is selling the property and I need to find me a permanent home . My preferred area is in Peria as I have made many friends, I need a. self contained 1 bedroom accommodation. If there is someone out there who need a quiet non smoking and pet free tenant, let me know, many thanks John Phillips ( Johno)
