First home buyers given a lifeline in Queenstown

Struggling first home buyers in Queenstown have struck gold.

They've been offered a chance to buy 32 prime real estate sites from a developer who turned down millions for the land.

Gerry Oudhoff is a proud Southlander and a man with a heart of gold. He had an idea to find a piece of land where affordable housing could reside.

Mr Oudhoff bought the Queenstown motor camp for just over $2 million and instead of selling it on for millions, he put the first 32 sites up for sale for first home buyers only.
