This is a place no visitor wants to leave. The bach that the late Sir Ian Athfield designed for his family at Awaroa is an enchanting and relaxed holiday house, utterly without pretension. It expresses Ath’s unique design ability, demonstrates his appetite for experimentation and talent for surprise, and reveals his understanding of the patterns of domestic habitation. The bach is beautifully fit for its social purpose. It is a magical place in a wonderful setting.
