Yes I agree, a bath is pretty necessary if you think your audience may be first home buyers (who are typically younger and may be thinking of having a family, or have young kids).

With that said, how long are you planning on staying? If you think you'll be there for the next 10 years, I'd probably do the bathroom you want then deal with it later. I wouldn't put up with something you don't want for 10 years for the sake of a sale far in the future, I wouldn't expect it would affect the price enough to be worth the inconvenience.

I'm on a large horticulture block in Kerikeri and I'm spending my days planting it up with rare subtropicals, so it's not like I'm planning on moving any time soon.

If it's your main shower, if I were you I wouldn't put in a bath. Put in a proper shower, enjoy it, and then when or if you eventually go to sell, ask the agent about it. If they think it will help to put in a bath, then do it then.
