Bach (New Zealand)
A bach (pronounced 'batch' ) (also called a crib in the southern half of the South Island) is a small, often modest holiday home or beach house in New Zealand. Baches are an iconic part of the country's history and culture. In the middle of the 20th century, they symbolized the beach holiday lifestyle that was becoming more accessible to the middle class. Baches began to gain popularity in the 1950s as roads improved and the increasing availability of cars allowed for middle-class beach holidays, often to the same beach every year. With yearly return trips being made, baches began to spring up in many family vacation spots. Etymology ''Bach'' was originally thought to be short for bachelor pad, but they tended to be family holiday homes. An alternative theory for the origin of the word is that ' is the Welsh word for "small" and "little". The phrase "Tŷ Bach" (small house) is used for outbuildings.
