Airparks in NZ
Hi
Currently we are in the process of emigrating to NZ. Luckily I am not limited to an area geographically but would prefer North Island for climate. Does anyone know of any airparks in NZ where I might buy a section and build a house. I don't need huge paved runways - 500 metres of grass would be great. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. cheers Arc |
Take your pick
My favourites are Pauanui and Matarangi, both on the east coast of Coromandel and 30ish minutes from Auckland. I haven't been to Whitianga for a while, so am not up to date with the developments there.
Idea: why not find some beautiful real estate near the ocean with a nice climate and surf? Convince a developer to jump in and create a nice new airpark. Then you buy the properties while they are cheap, and sell them on later, thus paying for your own piece of paradise. Maybe I'm dreaming... ECT? |
ARC, the only airpark I'm really aware of in the same vein as the ones in the states is at North Shore Airfield about 35 minutes drive north of Auckland. I suggest you contact North Shore Aero Club about it. They have developed an area but I don't think anyone has built yet. It could be quite nice with palm trees being planted and a large stone entranceway etc.Not a bad area but not really paradise.
There is pauanui but I guess it is more likely to have pork at a jewish wedding than being able to get your hands on a house on the airstrip. As for the North Island for climate....the weather is crap anywhere near Auckland....I would suggest Nelson at the tip of the South Island. |
I think youll find Whitianga on the Coromandel is the up an coming and last I heard there were still sites at the airfield avaliable. Development has yet to begin as I underderstand so its just empty sections at the moment. Good Luck.

I seem to recall that there were plans to set up a residential airpark at Kaipara Flats. Did that go ahead?

Great stuff and really useful.
keep it coming guys. Thanks Arc |
Whiteknuckle.....ummm the weather in Pauanui/Whitianga is not crap at all...(having spent 18yrs growing up there I've got a pretty good idea)
As for houses on the Airstrip at Pauanui..they come up for sale on a frequent basis. Plus in Pauanui you've also got the established waterways. |
