PHOTO: ANDY JACKSON/STUFF The Mōkau Sands development to replace the campground is still on hold.
The holiday-home development once offering $99,000 seaside sections with the “best views in New Zealand” is missing in action.
The 24-unit Mōkau Sands development an hour north of New Plymouth on the North Island’s west coast, was set to replace Mōkau’s 70-campsite Seaview Holiday Park. But it is now off the market and its developers have not responded to requests for comment.
“I think someone had an ambitious idea but it’s fallen over,” 85-year-old Mōkau resident George Honnor said.
Owners of Mōkau Sands Michael Hammond and Mark Peacocke, who did not respond to request for comment, have been planning the development since 2014 with the $99,000 sections announced in May last year.
It gained national interest and caused a sensation over the fact you could buy a seaside home for less than six figures.
