Cast your vote for best Bach

Sharron Pardoe Reporter from The Wellingtonian

Voting has opened for the annual Bookabach Bach of the Year Awards, and the holiday rental site has revealed that Kiwis are most likely to seek out holiday rentals that are a little bit different to the norm.

According to a nationwide survey, nearly half the population (42 per cent) are likely to select a bach with unique charm over a classic retro bach (23 per cent) or a modern bach (14 per cent), alongside other important considerations such as price, location and a bach owner that’s helpful and easy to communicate with.

Forty holiday homes from every corner of New Zealand are in the running to be crowned Bookabach’s Bach of the Year. Kiwis are being encouraged to vote for their favourite bach in each of the categories (Best Setting, Hospitality, Child Friendly, Pet Friendly, Eco Friendly, Design, Charm, Urban) at www.bachoftheyear.co.nz....

Gold, Silver and Bronze award winners in each of the eight categories will be selected by public vote and revealed over Labour Weekend.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
