What a View: Breathtaking New Zealand Homes

A few months ago, I stumbled across these two jaw-dropping New Zealand homes while looking for wedding and honeymoon destinations and haven’t been able to get them off my mind. Just look at those views. Heavenly.

And they couldn’t be framed better. The houses below make me seriously rethink walls. I can only imagine how spectacular it must feel to be that immersed in nature. Talk about a stunning place to wake up in the morning. How I wish I was there.

HOUSE 1: Located on Waiheke Island, this home was featured in New Zealand House & Garden. From what I understand, at one point the home was rented for weddings — hence the photos above. Unfortunately, that’s not the case anymore.

HOUSE 2: Located on Great Barrier Island, this home, the Oruawharo Beach House, was built by Fearon Hay Architects. It’s available to rent year round.
