Country Warmth

This pretty century old farmhouse in the village of Berrima, located in New South Wales, Australia, is a perfect example of the maxim of its owners Jan and Trevor Weekes, who say "Never relegate treasured possessions to a cupboard." Their beautifully styled collections of antiques, art and pottery are displayed in a relaxed and easygoing way throughout their home — it's definitely a place to live in and enjoy.

Sea and Sky

This stunning home is located on Johanna Beach, considered one of the best surf spots in Australia. Designed by Nicholas Burns & Associates, it has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an outdoor shower and an open kitchen/living area — a layout that allows a relaxed flow throughout inside while enjoying the sensational view outside. The perfect retreat from the daily grind.
