A Bookabach host is facing criticism for his refusal to reschedule a two-night stay at his Muriwai property for a group of young women unable to make the trip due to alert level 4 lockdown.

Auckland mum Sarah and her friends feel “ripped off” after paying more than $500 for accomodation from August 28 – 30 which was unable to be redeemed after COVID-19’s Delta variant re-emerged in the Auckland community.

She had booked a girls weekend for herself and four friends, liaising with host David Young about the stay.

It was supposed to be the first weekend she and her best friend Chelcie were taking away from their kids since they were born.

Chelcie told Newshub the pair had been reluctant to have time away from their baby boys, but after some encouragement from their partners they decided to take a “much-needed girls weekend”.
