There was barely enough room for the Erdorf family in their rented van in Timaru's Top 10 Holiday Park on March 30. A young German family who have been riding out New Zealand's Covid-19 lockdown in Timaru have signalled their appreciation of the community as they fly home. Bejon Haswell/Stuff Markus Erdorf said his wife Katharina was in tears after being told they could move into a unit with their son Elias, 5, on April 1. "I want to thank all the people at the Top 10 Holiday Park in Timaru, they made it very nice for us to make the stay as nice as possible. A Swiss family and English family left last week while another English family and an American family are set to fly out later this week.
