I love the variety of New Zealand domestic architecture.
The most interesting houses are typically charming old cottage-like villas (pre 1900s), compact American Bungalow Style character homes, or architect designed houses that are carefully situated to take advantage of the spectacular harbour views.

Our friends own one of the latter, a beautiful house on a great property.

| Sunny garden! |
It is made even more interesting because it surrounded by a magnificent garden, or gardens if you want to distinguish between the rock garden, the water garden, the shade garden and the formal, sunny garden.
Ian is the gardener, and he grumbles that the property takes up a lot of time. But for his friends who come to visit and admire, the effort is certainly worth it.
