A word used by New Zealanders (or 'Kiwis') to describe a holiday or second
home. Normally bach is reserved for holiday homes at the
beach or near
water, but can also be used for homes which are near other recreational things too.
"I'm going to stay with my mate at his bach in Whangamata!"
"The bach we are staying at is
quite small, but it's only a few k's from the
mountain."
