For sale $50,000

This is listed only to our followers for a few days before advertising.

Great weekender site for sale at Kai Iwi Beach Holiday Park. This is sold on behalf of the owner. The camp ensures people understand the lease which is separate and gives you 80 nights (or days) a year to use the site (you can have more for additional costs).

Beautiful sun-soaked spot, well provisioned and set for relaxing. Our beach is great for fishing, swimming, fossil hunting and relaxing. The camp is tidy and well looked after (ask anyone who knows).

Common Questions:

- Can I live here? Sorry, no—these are more like a beach house.

-How much is the yearly lease? Please call to discuss.
What am I buying from the seller? All items included with the sale which you own (caravan, deck, everything). They can be removed as you like—they are yours.

-Who owns the camp? Whanganui council—we own the lease.

-Who can use the site? Only the site lease holder and the five people they list under the standard lease, then anyone else they approve at a nightly charge. No one else uses the site; it is private and not a timeshare.

-What is involved in the lease? Any buyer must read the lease and talk with the camp, be approved for the site, before the sale is concluded. You will get all the details.

-Why not list the lease costs? It is not a secret but social media does seem to bring out the comments. Serious buyers can just call us for specifics.

We work really hard to make Kai Iwi Beach special and we have done well. Google Maps and NZMCA comments are a classic example—also look through our other posts; 3000 follow this page.

We are very often told our camp is the cleanest people have visited and our grounds are kept very nice. This is not for permanent living. This is for relaxing, teaching the kids to fish, fossil hunting the beach, having a wine with friends. It does not suit everyone and it isn't trying to.

We are a solid team of dedicated people who love our camp, our guests, our lease holders. We have cool clubs come through outside peak times too which are fun. If you are interested, come take a look, get all the details, have a chat. You can ask anyone in the place what they think of us and are encouraged to do so.

Call up 9am to 6pm and get all the details and come take a look!
