This week I have discovered a house so beautiful that I have fallen in love with it in an instant! It is a beach house available for holiday lettings in New Zealand. Can you see why I feel this way? Looking at these pictures, I just can't fault it. I will have to let my husband know the bad news. I have to go there. Soon.
PS: thanks for all your well wishes and concerns for my friend & I last week. xx

Oh I so agree. Can I come in your suitcase. It reminds me a little in the lounge area of the one you stayed in in Tasmania..Love the trestle table with the beach towels under.. and the landscaping is perfect.. Have fun at the Gabba I know you will love it. Cheers Katherine
ReplyDeleteOoooh - I'm in love with that too :-)
ReplyDeleteNew Zealand has some amazing properties ...they have lots of coastline to fill with amazing homes ... I lived there for two years - south island - and we will move back after our time in whoop whoop is done ... Duendin will be our likely city ... I have some very nice NZ homes on the Home Front - plus one delightful beach house should you be keen for more eye candy, and the best bit is they are still affordable in the south island - if like me you also love a cold moody beach as well as the sunny kind ... ok stopping now - best le
ReplyDeleteHI Simone
ReplyDeleteThat first image reminds me of one that was in Notebook magazine a while back .. but.. I don't think I saw the rest of the house!! I don't want to visit.. I want to move in!! hahaha it is too too fabulous! the wicker chairs have been on my wish list some time ... no room where i live now.. but one day! Have a great week xx Julie

who can blame you? now i've fallen in love too...
ReplyDeleteAbsolute perfection! I really must get to NZ for a holiday...if for no other reason than to escape the Brisbane heat!!! This place is gorgeous! Tracey xx
ReplyDeleteI've had the Blackbarn properties in my inspiration file for a while now and I too think they are perfect - I could easily move into one instantly. I posted about them too back in January :) They are such calm, relaxed looking places aren't they x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love the kitchen and the view!
ReplyDeleteLove, love the covered porch. I could see myself spending all day(s) there.
ReplyDeleteOh-la-la what a beautiful cottage on the see! I love this place too.
ReplyDeleteAnne
It is beautiful and maybe a good place to go to take your mind off things and relax a little? xxx
ReplyDeleteAh yes...I too fell in love with this when it appeared in New Zealand Life and Leisure magazine. Andy Coltart is an inspired designer, have a look at blackbarn.co.nz at their properties to let to see more of his stunning work. I've always hoped when I get to design my own home that I can have him on board.
ReplyDeleteoh silly me... I just realised you linked it from there!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to drop by and say thanks for visiting my little blog! Also, I know I am a little late with my comment - but I just have to mention how much I LOVE the kitchen in this post... I have been trying to get all my cut out/ideas-file laid out onto a large piece of cardboard in order to define the style I am aiming for with my home / specifically my kitchen and well this picture just seems to sum up the look I am aiming for - as to how close I might get to it with our finished kitchen - well I guess we'll have to wait and see :o) there's still a long way to go yet for us!
ReplyDeleteI had a look at the photo above. This is quite a collection.
ReplyDeleteAll in one word - marvelous :)
I am sure my wife is going to fall in love with all the design & layout if she see visit this site.
Can't wait to see more posting :)

What a magnificent home, it has similarities of the beach house shown in the movies Somethings Gotta Give. Can't wait to hear all about when you return. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteAngie
we have gone there three times over the last few years, and yes this rustic charm of hamptons meets lodge makes you feel very carm.
