Kiwis isolating in a Rotorua hotel clapped and danced from the safety of their balconies as a local muso serenaded them at sunset.
Musician Chris Webber headed down to Sulphur Point at sunset yesterday in his van kitted out with speakers to give a "balcony concert" to those stuck inquarantine at Rotorua's Sudima Hotel.
"They are still us, I wanted to make them feel welcome," Webber told the Rotorua Daily Post.

He had the idea when it was first announced that people would be quarantined in Rotorua.
"There was so much negativity around... I wanted to keep the manaakitanga of the city alive."
A few weekends of rain had hindered Webber from heading down earlier, but he got dressed up warm to head down yesterday.

He said if the weather had been warmer, he would have played for about an hour but instead wrapped up after 20 minutes as he did not want them freezing in the cold.
