Former Prime Minister Sir John Key has sold his multi-million dollar Hawaiian holiday home and bought a new one, Spy can reveal.
Sources say the new Maui pad has been undergoing renovation, and the Key family has been waiting to be able to go and see it. After waiting through lockdowns, they are finally en route. Sources tell Spy it is Key's first overseas trip since Covid hit.
He enjoyed a gin at Auckland Airport with broadcaster Paul Henry before they jetted off to Los Angeles last month. Henry has a home at Palm Springs.
Key has shared that he was going to the mainland in the States for a bit of work and some golf for a few weeks, before heading to Hawaii.
The family's former Maui abode, which they purchased in 2008, was a 322sq m townhouse near the beach. It had a mini-bar in the master bedroom, three en-suite bathrooms, a barbecue area with grill and outdoor fridge, a private lift, limestone floors, plush carpet and cherry cabinetry, with luxurious furnishings and artwork.
