201 Karetoto Road, Wairakei, Taupo

Existing tourist icon with energy to grow

• Huka Prawn Park for sale as a going concern
• Recently renewed 35 year Resource Consent to take and discharge large volumes of geothermal & fresh water, potential to diversify using this unique resource
• Extensive infrastructure in place with new heat exchanger currently being installed with capacity to heat approximately 1,000m3 of hot water per hour at 55 degrees
Set in 12 hectares (more or less) of land, leased from the crown in Wairakei Tourist Park, Huka Prawn Park's iconic riverside location has ample space for growth and development, with geothermal heat, water and land resources for the foreseeable future, giving open ended opportunities to diversify into a new industry making use of the low carbon heat source in line with the government clean energy initiative.
The site enjoys an extremely high profile, being visible from SH1 with up to approximately 10,000 traffic movements a day. Located on the banks of the mighty Waikato River in the tourism hot spot of Taupo, the existing fun park and riverside restaurant could also become so much more with multiple hospitality offerings in the only riverside restaurant setting in Taupo and expansion of the fun park into other opportunities utilising the unique geothermal heating resource.
MPI issued import licenses are all lined up ready to go for new breeding stock to reinvigorate the prawn component of the business as well.
After 34 years of ownership and turning Huka Prawn Park into an iconic tourism destination, the owners believe it is now time for fresh ideas to be applied using the unique resources and location - so, what could you do with the unique natural resources on offer here?
