We'd be keen to hear from those of you who had to cancel an overseas trip due to Covid-19 and holidayed in New Zealand instead. How did you find your NZ trip? Was it better or worse than you expected? Did you enjoy it as much as you think you would have enjoyed your overseas holiday? And did it change your views about holidaying domestically?

"We have a lovely young couple across the road from us at number 13, Glenaven Drive, called Kirsty and Jeremy. We have recently moved to Motueka and they have been very helpful and friendly right from the start. During Lockdown they did shopping for us and let us have soil from their excavations for our garden improvements. Later on, they have given us lemons, gave spare concrete when they had some delivered for themselves and watered our plants when we were able to go away and visit our new grandchild. They are gems and have made us really happy that we've chosen Motueka as our home."

If you and your partner would like to learn to dance free of regimentation and with a fun factor then we would be an ideal match! We also welcome singles as well given dancers are moved round the floor every few minutes to speed up the learning process. If you are new to town, this is also another great way to meet the locals and make new friends. We believe that we provide a great affordable night out designed to chase the blues away. So what are you waiting for - get in touch with your inner dancing queen! We are also on Facebook as well.
