The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron is selling its cherished Kawau Island property after 37 years. This "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity includes the Lidgard House lodge and six waterfront sections in the sheltered Bon Accord Harbour.
The sale aims to release capital for reinvestment into the squadron's core yachting activities and its main Westhaven facility. The historic property offers a unique chance to own a piece of the Hauraki Gulf, accessible from the mainland.
