Just over 18 months ago, there was a lot of concern expressed by Stuff readers, about the possible future of a cute little bach that had just come on the market in Teal Bay, Northland.
This bach ticked all the boxes for a nostalgia trip – it was small, quaint, right beside the water and it still had the original Formica kitchen bench, table and chairs and floral carpet.
But worried bach lovers had no need for concern. The bach was bought by Darrin and Robyn Hughes and sons Ben, then 9, and Ollie, 6.
“We read some of the comments in the Stuff story about people being worried it would be bought by some Kardashian types who would bowl it to put up a McMansion,” Hughes said at the time. “That’s not us, absolutely not.
