Originally from Mt Maunganui but now living in Queensland, Kim and Mike Wykes booked a getaway at the Hideaway Resort & Spa on the Coral Coast to celebrate Mrs Wykes' mother's 60th birthday. But with children Liliana, 2, and 4-month old River struggling with illness, the Wykes's decided to postpone the holiday. They managed to get refunds on their flights, however the accommodation was non-refundable.
"We were wondering what to do next and just got the idea about giving it to a local family who might be deserving of a holiday," Mrs Wykes said.
