West Coast hotels finally come out of Covid mothballing
Two West Coast hotels reopened this week after closing down in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The historic Lake Mahinapua Hotel, made famous by the Mainland Cheese advertisements, opened to the public again on Sunday for the first time since the first Covid-19 lockdown in March 2020.
According to data from MarketView, international visitor spending surpassed pre-Covid levels on the West Coast for the month of August.
Scenic Group also reopened its Heartland Glacier Country hotel in Fox Glacier on Sunday. It has now reopened all four of its hotels in Franz Josef and Fox Glacier which were mothballed during the pandemic.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
