The Landing Residences, New Zealand

Each of the three Residences have their own private grounds and enjoy expansive views of the sea, islands and lush green farmland. Designed by prominent New Zealand architect Pip Cheshire, each house is unique in style and structure and furnished to the highest standards with fully equipped state-of-the-art kitchens and the latest audio-visual entertainment systems as well as fabulous entertainment areas, both indoor and out. Opt for complete self-catering, a selection of provisions for meals throughout the day, or enjoy the services of a private chef who will create wonderful dishes using local ingredients from land and sea, as well as from The Landing's orchard and vineyard.

(sleeps 4 in two bedrooms - one master and one twin)

Based on the design of a colonial woolshed which once stood where The Boathouse now stands, this airy structure elegantly blends wood and stone to create a contemporary beach house right on the water's edge. Extensive living space inside flows out onto the fabulous covered courtyard and terrace with its outdoor fireplace, pristine lawn and comfortable loungers.

From its hilltop location, the Cooper Residence enjoys striking 360° views across the ocean and countryside. The contemporary barn structure, flanked by two pavilions, combines steel and exposed bolts with rich timber and natural stone. The impressive scale of the house - most notable in the huge kitchen and dining area - is softened by intimate spaces and cosy corners. The house features a wonderful art collection, archaeological relics, woven Maori panels and antique books and photographs.

At the northwestern end of the house, a stone tower houses a wine cellar and tasting room below a unique bedroom suite with a private roof deck - a sunkissed retreat, ideal for sunbathing or intimate dining.
