Could a simple bach hold the key to understanding a legend? Here at Bach 107, nestled amongst the rugged beauty of Auckland’s west coast, we uncover a piece of Sir Edmund Hillary’s life. Bach 107 wasn’t just a holiday home. It was his sanctuary, his escape from the relentless public eye that followed his Everest triumph. Sir Edmund Hillary, the beekeeper turned mountaineer, found solace in this unassuming structure. The west coast held a special significance for the Hillary family. Louise’s father built a bach at nearby Anawhata in 1925, establishing a family connection that deepened over time. Edmund, drawn to the area’s wild beauty, built his own bach at Whites Beach. He cherished this place. He called it home. He declared it the place where he wanted to live out his days. This simple bach offers a glimpse into the private life of a man who conquered the world’s highest peak. It reminds us that even the greatest adventurers seek refuge and solace. Bach 107 stands as a testament to his love for the simple life. It shows his deep connection to the natural beauty of his homeland.
