Boatsheds were built along the lake edge at Kerr Bay and baches were built among the beech trees on the slopes above the bay. |
|
Removal of the baches was required under the North Canterbury Conservation Board's 1998 plan for the reserve. |
|
I have also heard, and certainly saw on our boat trip in, that there are many privately owned baches which can be rented. |
|
The seaside baches have become a lot bigger and more posh in the last 50 years than they used to be, and cost a lot more to buy. |
|
They were the usual Kiwi baches, built from whatever was handy, oddly practical, sometimes quaint. |
