Freehold Holiday Park Business For Sale
Picton, New Zealand



Parklands, the Park to stay

Picton is the gateway to the Marlborough Sounds, the boating mecca of the South Island.

Situated at the head of Queen Charlotte Sound, Picton is the South Island terminus for the Interislander ferry service to Wellington and the rest of the North Island. Picton is also the commercial hub for the Marlborough Sounds with port, several marinas, and water taxis to holiday homes and the world famous Queen Charlotte Track and coastal walkway.

Parklands Marina Holiday Park is a favourite place for travellers, New Zealand holiday makers and International tourists. The Park is situated at Waikawa in quiet and peaceful surroundings and is especially popular with boaties, campervans, caravans, and those waiting for passage on the Interislander.

Waikawa is only 3.5 km from Picton and is off the main road and away from noisy traffic. There are some magnificent bush walks just behind the camp where guests can see a range of native birds. The Holiday Park is only a 5 minute walk to the Waikawa Marina with easy boat launching facilities. Both Waikawa and Picton offer all sorts of activities including boating, fishing, wakeboarding, water-skiing, sea kayaking, scuba diving, mountain biking and walking.
