I was there in February and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

This matches my experience. New Zealand is worth the trip.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
