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?

THIS IS definitely A SCAM. The email was missing information that made me query its authenticity. So I went onto a online chat site which I thought was the correct Norton site.
The so called agent Deborah Mullen after chatting online with her for alittle while, made me suspicious I was being scammed. She wanted me to keep the online chat opened so I could access the link to put payment through. She wouldn't email the link & said the special discount offer was only valid for a day or until she finished her shift or I can contact them again & 1 of the other agents would help me. I asked her to clarify what a day meant & she replied 'Our offices close at 8pm'. So I made up an excuse- said I lost my credit card & needed to organise a ride into the bank to organise funds & 8pm should be enough time to get things organised.
I unfortunately bumped/ closed the site I was chatting with Deborah.
I contacted the 'real' Norton site & they confirmed both Adam Zampa & Deborah Mullen are not Norton agents.
They are investigating this further.

It would mean a much quieter experience, creating only a sixth of the carbon emissions of a petrol or diesel engine (or even less when charged from home solar or at night time), and requiring less maintenance, while also reducing pollution.
Initially it won't be cheap, though - but when in our history has the cleaner, quieter, safer, more efficient and cheaper to run version of a product ever costed less than its inferior siblings?
One of the regional businesses already providing electric boat options for sale and hire is The New Zealand Electric Boat Co. in Kerikeri.
As we transition away from fossil fuels, the oversupply of fossil-fuel vehicles and devices (cars, boats, engines, power tools etc.) will be offered to us at dumping prices, just to get rid of them, and some of us will go for that. We could however look at going electric as an investment in our collective future, and when doing a proper total cost of ownership calculation the higher purchase price or cost of retrofitting to go electric is regularly offset over time by lower running and maintenance costs, not to mention the additional benefits of reduced emissions and noise pollution, and increased air and water quality.

It really offers a lot of hope for folks who might be looking at the property market and wondering what on earth is happening out there these days.
Courtney and Ben were tenacious and bold, and now they're living happily in their Hawke's Bay home.
Have a read and see how they did it, and while you're at it have a listen to our third episode of First Rung, the podcast for first home buyers for a little more inspiration.
We saw some friendly ghosts and even some costumed pooches this year! We'd love for you to spread the joy further than your backyard by sharing a snap from your Halloween festivities below 🎃
