Established Wanaka holiday park business for sale

A tranquil holiday park peacefully nestled in the hills just 3km outside Wanaka township offers a rare opportunity to secure an established accommodation business in the sought after Queenstown-Lakes region, according to the Colliers International brokers who are exclusively marketing the property.

Located at 217 Wanaka-Mt Aspiring Road, the business is being offered for sale by negotiation. The well-maintained holiday park offers a range of accommodation types as well as an impressive array of facilities for guest use. Set on an ample 4.0797-hectare grounds, the park boasts 11 cabins, 16 selfcontained units, 73 powered caravan sites and 40 camping sites. Colliers broker Barry Robertson, who is handling the sale with colleague Steve McIsaac, says the strong mix of accommodation types mitigates business risk, which will add to its appeal. “The Park caters to guests on all budgets from camping sites to selfcontained family units allowing them to meet a variety of traveller needs.” Complimenting the accommodation is an impressive array of guest facilities including playground, swimming pool, spa pool, BBQ area, TV room and trampoline amongst others. The park also offers a shop and booking desk for guest convenience. Located close to the action of the Wanaka CBD and on the main road to the Treble Cone ski field and the Matukituki Valley, the location is sure to draw interest, says McIsaac. “Mt Aspiring Holiday Park is some three minutes by car from downtown Wanaka and just 20 minutes from Treble Cone yet it still maintains a serene atmosphere. The park enjoys dramatic mountain views, plenty of open green space and is perfectly located to enjoy all Wanaka has to offer.” Lake Wanaka’s outstanding natural beauty offers a variety of outdoor activities in the hot and dry Otago summers, including tramping, lake cruises and skydiving, as well as superb skiing choices in winter. The jewel at the heart of the region is Mount Aspiring National Park, where you can hike, jet boat, or enjoy scenic flights to the regions stunning glaciers. Wanaka is serviced by Queenstown International Airport and tourism statistics to the region forecast the sector will remain strong with growth projections healthy for the medium to long term. “With visitor numbers at approximately 2.9 million per year to the Queenstown Lakes District and airport passenger movements forecast to reach 3.2 million in 2025, the area is becoming increasingly popular with accommodation providers,” says Robertson. Given the size, location and rarity of the offering, the business is expected to attract interest from a range of purchasers. “This is a unique lifestyle opportunity for tourism providers and owner/operators alike. An on-site manager’s residence opens the opportunity to run the business on-site as the current owners have done with success. Alternatively, this may appeal to established providers who are looking to secure an operation within the area,” says McIsaac. Options exist to grow the current business through both marketing and add-on opportunities.
