A holiday park in the city had to cancel nearly 1000 bookings because flood victims had nowhere else to go. The Scenic Hotel Te Pania, on the city s waterfront, will be shut until at least the end of February. General manager Kerryann Gibbs said there was immense damage on the ground floor. The reception desk needs to be rebuilt, the bar needs to be rebuilt, all the floor coverings have to be done, we had bespoke carpet so that s had to be brought back in, Gibbs said.
