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?

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.

With yet another police officer shot at by armed offenders, the Police Association have renewed calls for police to be armed at all times. A female officer's vehicle was shot at on October 27 after two men stopped her along State Highway 11, near the Puketona Junction at about 4.15am.
Do you think that Police should have better access to firearms?
