I feel sorry for them really sorry
Good on you Tony G. Happy to offer the Berry's to stay with us at no cost too. One of the reasons I came to New Zealand is the amazing Kiwi hospitality. And of course the most amazing stunning landscape and lifestyle to go with it. Hope someone will set up a site with a 'kiwi hospitality' section to match happy rugby punters with happy kiwi's. Either for free or at minimal cost and no insane mark-ups. Wished I had the programming skills to do so. Perhaps Trade Me can... or Sella... Tourism New Zealand... Cheers, GT
If Geoff & Nina Berry tell the North Shore Motels & Holiday Park to 'jam' their room, they could stay at our place for free! What a rip-off, giving a quote, taking a deposit, and then hiking the price 6 months later! I hope no-one stays there. Good on the Berry's for getting it sorted out. Shame on businesses that ride any wave that will see their rooms full, when they would otherwise be empty! Go the Berrys!!
As a owner/manager of a backpackers on waiheke Island it really ticks me off to see operators rip people off over the RWC, these people forget the old saying "a bad experience will be shared with 10 people a good one with 1 person"I hope these case's are few a far between
Come on people stop the greed. If people are that organised to pay up front in advance, stop the thieving. I have to say though the aussies were not any different during the Olympics. They boasted as being the best ever to have hosted an Olympics. There were still plenty rip off merchants cashing in on the moment!
Just the normal standard kiwi rip off
You have to remember that Aucklanders are maded up of Indians, Asians and Islanders. they don't about New Zealand
