A year after the owner of Gulf Harbour Marina, Covington Group Holdings, purchased Fairway Bay Marina (HM December 6, 2021), it has added 32 berths, bringing the total number of berths at Fairway Bay to 85.
The new berths were officially opened on December 9.
Fairway Bay Marina manager, Mark Seabrook, says the extension is part of plans “to transform the marina into a world class facility that will bring vibrancy and life into the local area”.
The expansion includes muti-hull berths up to 20m long. Seabrook says these vessels are gaining popularity worldwide, yet berths designed for them are rare in NZ.
Local restaurant Yogis has closed and work has begun to refurbish the building it was in and the surrounding area.
Another business that was based at Fairway Bay, The Kitchen Door, has relocated to Gulf Harbour Marina.
Seabrook says the company is looking for a suitable operator to establish a food and beverage operation in the marina building once work is complete.
“We are in the process of creating future plans for the land surrounding Fairway Bay Marina, which includes other amenities for locals to enjoy,” Seabrook says.
He declined to disclose how much money is being invested in the work at Fairway Bay.
