Owned by Kiwi businessman John Ramsay, of Crusader Meats fame, the island has been a resort, a party centre, a rehab retreat for alcoholic women and a private family get-away for the Ramsay family.
It’s also been on and off market for 25 years, according to the current agent, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why.
