Sewaan mewah di North Island

Cloud 9

The sea, boundless and blue, dominates this hilltop villa in the Bay of Islands. It fills the views from the sun-kissed deck and even finds its way indoors, in touches like the kitchen’s sea-green cabinets. Pack a picnic to take down to the beach a half-mile away, or book a helicopter or jet-ski ride for an adrenaline rush along with dramatic coastal scenery.   Follow a winding private road to the heights above the Bay of Oneroa—and your own outdoor living areas with a pool, hot tub, lounging and dining furniture, and a barbecue. There’s an espresso machine to fuel all your holiday adventures, and a smart TV and Wi-Fi to help you relax when you return from them.   This vacation rental is bordered on 3 sides by a wraparound deck, and a glass wall connects the al-fresco spaces with the indoor great room. Sunlight bounces off the honey-toned wood floors and whitewashed ceiling in the living and dining areas, and sea green cabinets are a soft touch in the fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar.   This luxury property has one honeymoon-worthy master suite with a king bed, en-suite bathroom, and its own terrace. The other 2 bedrooms have a king bed and 2 twin beds, and share access to a hall bathroom, making them ideal for a family traveling with children.   From the villa’s perch, it’s a half-mile down the hill to the nearest beach. But your explorations should continue to the nearby town of Russell, where you can stop for lunch or dinner at waterfront cafes and restaurants housed in historic buildings, and Paihia, New Zealand’s first capital and the starting point for your choice of boat cruises, swims with dolphins, and fishing excursions going after the area’s famed black marlin.   Copyright © Luxury Retreats.

Matakana Estate Lodge

A modern architectural wonder, this elevated villa punctuates the natural New Zealand landscape. It’s situated high on a north-facing ridge on the Matakana Coast with uninterrupted panoramic views of the surrounding valleys, sprawling vineyards, and undulating hilltops; sandy shorelines await nearby. Pick up a variety of limited release specialty wines at Heron’s Flight to take back home with you. You’ll notice the intricate details and bespoke décor as soon as you enter this refined residence. Towering ceilings make room for skyhigh windows to ignite the interior with rays of sunlight while lending a clear line of sight to the backyard’s dense foliage and fruit trees. Why not indulge in the luxury of a private chef who can masterfully whip up a meal in the contemporary kitchen, using fresh vegetables from the abundant garden, to complement a couple of bottles of award-winning Pinot Gris or Chardonnay? To switch things up, try serving dinner in the former cellar for a gourmet experience. The indoor swimming pool is framed by a tiled terrace with plump chaise loungers and armchairs.  An hour from Auckland, spend a day exploring the bustling metropolis and countless outdoor activities; thrill-seekers will be especially keen to experience an edge-walk at the city’s iconic Sky Tower. Tee off on the flawless fairway at Warkworth Golf Club, just a 1-minute drive away from the estate. Markets, galleries, and eateries specializing in creating dishes from the locally-sourced produce can be found at the heart of the region. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.
