A beachside Taranaki hideaway has been named as New Zealand's Bach of the Year.
The contest, run by accommodation renting website Bookabach.co.nz, scoured the holiday homes, baches and cribs (depending on where you are) to find the country's best – with Kiwis voting on their favourite properties.
The people have spoken: New Zealand's favourite bach is Fox Cottage, located in the coastal town of Opunaki in Taranaki - and it's available to rent for only $125 a night.
Judges said it ticked all the boxes for what makes a classic Kiwi bach experience, as well as proving thoughtful extras like fresh produce from the garden, locally roasted coffee and local tips.
