The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron is selling its treasured Kawau Island property after 37 years. The sale includes the Lidgard House lodge and six waterfront sections in the sheltered and popular Bon Accord Harbour.
This "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity arises as the Squadron plans to reinvest the capital into its core yachting activities and main Westhaven facility. The historically significant properties are being marketed by Barfoot & Thompson and will be sold by tender.
