In some parts of New Zealand, holiday homes have been built on public land, which in some cases was leased, but in other cases the arrangement was less formal, one could even say absent. This has caused issues in recent times, with “baches” needing to be removed because the structure was illegally occupying public land. These homes at the Anchorage, however, sit on private, freehold land that just happens to be adjacent to the land that was put into the Abel Tasman National Park when it was established in 1942. This happy occurrence gives these landowners some of the best holiday home locations in the whole of New Zealand. Disadvantages? There’s no road access. You can only get there by walking track or by boat. Is that really a disadvantage?
