Boat only access bach’s in pelorus are not that expensive compared to those up here! I think it had to do with it being easier to drive to a bach in a car therefore more demand.

Even in Marlborough there's quite a price difference between road accessible and boat only. As boat only distance gets longer price falls even more. Saying that there was a pretty attractively priced properties off Kenepuru Road where the absent owners are finding interest rates a challenge and the broken road a significant problem. Heard that it was only recently the council etc committed to repairing Kenepuru road. They were considering abandoning it! We looked near Lochmara in Queen Charlotte sound but boat access only ended up putting us off. Not a problem now but we know in 15-20yrs it could become a problem. Opted for off Queen Charlotte Drive as the Picton Havelock road will never be abandoned since it's on tourist route.
