A historic hotel is being sold after its foreign owners failed to undertake a promised redevelopment.

The sale, ordered by the Overseas Investment Office, continues a crackdown on offshore investors by the envigorated Government regulator, which has boosted monitoring and enforcement in the last three years.

Kingstown Blue Spring Resort Ltd – owned by Chinese investors Feng Zhiguo, Jin Hui, and Wang Yaming – bought the Okoroire Hot Springs Hotel, set on 27 hectares of land near Tirau, Waikato, in 2014.
