Freehold Holiday Park For Sale
Haast, South Westland, New Zealand




Lifestyle business in scenic wonderland

There is a timeless, spiritual quality to South Westland, especially around Haast.

The booming Tasman Sea, deserted beaches, dense lowland rainforest, wetlands, and mountain wilderness all combine to make this a hauntingly beautiful part of New Zealand.

Haast is situated alongside Mt. Aspiring National Park and the surrounding wilderness forms part of the South-West New Zealand World Heritage Area. Visitors come from all over the world to experience the dramatic forest and mountain scenery. Haast is also gateway to the Pass that links the West Coast with Central Otago. A steady stream of tourists, who are circumnavigating the South Island, pass through Haast all through the year.

Haast Beach Holiday Park is a popular accommodation venue that offers a mix of motels, cabins, and sites for campervans and tents. The Holiday Park is located approximately 15 km from Haast Township along the road to Jacksons Bay, and 2 km from Okuru and the Turnbull River.


Haast Beach Holiday Park is 15 km from Haast

The Holiday Park is a well-patronised accommodation venue due to its proximity to tourist destinations both north and south of Haast. Tourism numbers have been increasing over the past few years and are projected to increase at an average annual rate of 3% into the future.

Haast Beach Holiday Park is close to productive whitebaiting spots and is largely full for the duration of the whitebaiting season (15 August to 30 November). The Holiday Park is also a popular overnight stopping place for tour buses.

This busy Holiday Park business has now come on to the market. It offers the best of both worlds - a solid trading history with turnover exceeding $400,000 (gross profit of 80%) and the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic lifestyle in a majestic part of New Zealand.
