The house of my sister and Brother in law

 Neelu my sister and Umesh my brother in law have  a beautiful house in Havelock North in New Zealand. Most of  the properties around this place have a huge spread with a variety of flowers and flora fauna. This house is spread over five acres of land and a huge panoramic view spread all around. Sitting inside one can see the vast expanse of valleys, mountains and the green cover of trees. When the grass grows tall they have to invite sheep or horses to eat the extra grass and when we were there we saw horses and sheep  coming to the land to eat the grass. I feel the house needs no paintings for the glass doors each acts as a frame of the painting, framing the nature around it. Be it the washroom, the bedroom each room has a natural painting of the nature spread around it. There is no use of blinds too on the windows for covering the windows will be very artificial and since there is not a single soul to be seen it is best that the windows left open. One almost feels that you are bathing amidst nature out in the open. Unfortunately now my sister and brother in law are selling the house and moving to Australia. An amazing place to stay and I am sure visiting a country as a tourist staying in hotels would be a  very different experience from  the one we have had by  staying in the house.
