Two Hawke's Bay baches have been named a finalist in the Bookabach Bach of the Year Awards.
Kuku's Cottage in Te Awanga is a hospitality finalist while Wendy's Place in Hastings is a pet-friendly finalist.
The two baches were a part of a group of 40 nationwide which were shortlisted.
Bookabach general manager Peter Mile was impressed to see the types of properties listed on the site become increasingly varied, and the amenities and services provided by bach owners expanding day by day.
"There are some fantastic rentals popping up in every corner of the country that we'd like to recognise in our Bach of the Year Awards, from a modern loft overlooking Mt Maunganui Beach to a Balinese-style cabin in Coromandel township, and a clifftop home with sweeping views of Dunedin."
