It was a sad experience
My husband had a bad fall during the cyclone in Feb We had to cancel our booking
The motel allowed a credit roll over to Dec 1 to 4. We arrived on Friday and feeling unwell I took a Covid test . Positive. We decided to go home to prevent spread to motel guests and Waiheke!!! We had our car so I could stay in it
The owner today refused to credit a second time even for Covid . She said that would mean we had 9 days on her
We should have stayed on and ignored our social conscience
The place was not full over the weekend and Edward who was on the desk on Saturday said on the phone there was lots of availability in future. We would have been happy for mid winter even
