Summary

A family from North Canterbury, never having visited the tiny fishing town of Motunau, stumbled upon a dream bach after reading an article—immediately fell in love, and snapped it up on the spot. The 26-year-old property, originally a triple boat shed bought for $45,000 by owner Peter Kerr, sold for $715,000 after a surge in interest sparked by the article. The buyers, who had no fishing background, now call it home—proof that sometimes the most unexpected places hold the perfect escape.
