There’s something magical about summers in Aotearoa. The windows open, the jandals pile up by the door, and suddenly the bach becomes a revolving door of friends, family, and those iconic “we were just passing by” visits.
And if you’re anything like most Kiwis, your bach isn’t just a place, it’s a memory machine. The early morning swims, the card games that go way past midnight, the burnt sausages that somehow taste better because you’re on holiday … it all deserves to be remembered.
One of the loveliest ways to capture these moments?
A guestbook made just for your bach.
A Place for All the Stories
Every bach has its own history, the long hot summers, the rainy-day puzzles, the fishing trips gone wrong, the cousins who haven’t seen each other since last Christmas.
A guestbook becomes a time capsule of all those moments.
Guests can jot down:
- favourite beaches they discovered
- the best local coffee spots
- recipes cooked over and over again
- memorable swims and sunsets
- the funny moments that would otherwise be forgotten
Flip back through the pages and you’ll find a whole story of summer, written by the people who lived it.
Perfect for Family Baches, Airbnbs & Holiday Homes.
Whether your bach has been in the whānau for decades, or you’ve lovingly set up an Airbnb by the coast, a guestbook adds something special.
For family baches, it becomes part of the home itself, a book that grows with every visit.
For Airbnbs or holiday homes, it adds warmth and personality.
Guests love leaving notes, and you’ll learn what they enjoyed most about staying at your place.
At My Guestbook, every book is made right here in New Zealand using beautiful book cloth, quality papers, and personalised foil debossing or laser engraving.
Your bach guestbook can be customised with:
- your bach name
- a family surname
- a special phrase you love
It’s a keepsake designed to last through years of sunshine, sandy feet, and summers to come.
Ready for Summer 2025
If your bach is on the summer countdown, now’s the perfect time to add a guestbook so it’s ready for visitors.
It’s a simple addition that makes your place feel thoughtful, loved, and uniquely yours.
