Accommodation in Brooks
November 28, 2008

Your stay in Brooks should be quite interesting. There are several hotels and motels you could stay at if you are travelling on a shoestring budget. If you want to really enjoy your stay then you should stay at this rustic ranch house that borders the Dinosaur Provincial Park. The ranch is a bit on the outskirts of the city but is perfect if you just want to visit the park and spend time enjoying the great outdoors. The wildlife, star-studded skies, prairie walks, beautiful sunrises and sunsets should do wonders to calm your jangled nerves. To book the ranch, built in 1904 click here.

If you want a simple no frills trip, you can stay at the hotels described on this website. The advantage you have of staying here is that you will be within the city.

If you want to purchase a home of your own in this sleepy city then you can check out this website.

On top of the world
October 22, 2008

Logcab_2 If you love seeking out those breathtaking views that very few stumble upon, if you love the thrill of adventure or if you just love flirting with danger, then a vacation in the wild is probably tailor made for you. Very few choose to de-stress by taking on nature’s challenges but those few are well rewarded with a glimpse of a part of the world no one has ever seen before.

With nothing above you but the sky, you can get away from the clutter and noise of city life with a mountain vacation home.

Be A Cottager In NZ
September 28, 2006

Cottage_1A cottage in Auckland affords the warmest mix of warm beaches and cozy living. A private garden with a giant Rimu has a walkway that leads you to the beach front. The waters not just sparkling but safe with kayaks and mooring available for your entertainment. Indoor entertainment in your self contained cottage includes Tv and CD stereo. Fishing or exploring areas are not far away and you'll get a microwave and freezer along with it for $80 per night for 2 people.

A redecorated self-contained cottage with beach views has spacious 4 bedrooms that can sleep 8 people. The cottage garden is fenced in and there's a garage on the grounds. Palm and fruit trees sway over the garden shed. Pick fruits and spend an evening lounging in with plans for a barbequed meal. Other than the bedrooms, you have a lounge, kitchen and dining area to spread out in. The accommodation is fully furnished with lovely blue bed spreads and peach curtains melding with gleaming wood floors. All the conveniences like washing machines, refrigerators, dryers, electric blankets, laundry rooms will be at your disposal. At $85 per night for 2 people with $10 for each additional guest, it's a good bargain.

A beach cottage with a magnificent garden is just 35 minutes away from wine region Napier. The cottage has a main house which sleeps 4 and a garden cottage which sleeps 2. Forget the bathrooms with water closets, the best is the claw foot bath with skylight that has stars sparkling down. Isn't that a nice thought? Sparkling champagne mixed with a bath and the stars? Nice as that is, I'd have to say that the garden's the best. A lovely secluded retreat, with lots of benches and private spaces for eating, sleeping and for a evening's gas barbeque. The kitchen is fully equipped and there are the usual living and dining rooms. If you're a wine aficionado, rent this cottage a mere 20 minutes from Napier.

The Wheki cottage enroute to the Abel Tasman National Park has spectacular sea and mountain views. The property comes as part of a farmyard experience with pig, chickens, a dog, cats and friendly horses. The beach is just a stroll away. Telephone, fax and email facilities are available. The nearby beaches are safe and sandy and perfect as an add on to your cottage life. The daily rates change season to season but weekly rates for stays of a month or more are $850 per week.

Let's Just Shift To Kenya
September 4, 2006

HomesA really fancy bungalow on Lavington along Othaya Road with 4 bedrooms and lush garden is there for the taking. Besides the four bedrooms and the separate dining and furnished kitchen, it has a spacious lounge complete with fireplace!!! There is a store room and extra quarters for domestics as well as a garage. The place is available for about $41,607.

A stone log lodge overlooking the Rift Valley is a catch simply for its location. Overlooking the lovely Naivasha lake, it's a bird lover's delight. It has two bedrooms that can sleep 6 people and comes with internet, terrace, appliances, swimming pool, gym, tennis court... i'm out of breath. Besides all this there is an airstrip and even more amazing... it's built right on a 18 hole golf course, so you can swing out with your irons any time you like! The place is up for $171,531.

Tadlitum Farm is a lovely, lovgely ranch property spread over 350 acres of rich forests and Savannah grasslands, with the Bissel river flowing through it. The house is luxurious with 4 ensuite bedrooms, bar, an upper deck lounge area gazing into hills, patio, another lounge, a reception area and a huge dining room. The whole place is brilliantly furnished and contains african artefacts too! The swimming pool comes wih a gazebo area to entertain up to 30 people comfortavly. Generators, electric fencing, garage, airstrip, staff quarters are only some of the other features. This great investment opportunity can be yours for 1,100,000 dollars.

Mohamed House is the perfect Kenyan experience home with 2 bedrooms with 2 attached bathrooms, an extra bathroom, sitting room and kitchen. The house sits on an acre of land and also houses a garage and a room for domestic help. What I like best other than the african style makuti roof is the fact that the house abounds with verandas so that you always have a feeling of space and light.

Farmhouse Retreats
August 26, 2006

FarmIt goes against the grain for me to suggest a rural retreat that's just so danged spiffy... but it's my bid for practicality. This country home is the perfect getaway from your hectic city life. With 2.5 acres of usable land, you could sow the seeds (heh heh) for your alternate retirement career right here! The acres are paddocked, manicured, fully fenced in and come with 2 large equipment sheds, water tanks and a natural freshwater pool! Isn't that nice?
The house itself is an ultra-modern affair with 4 bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes, study, large spa bath, gourmet style kitchen, formal lounge and dining, family room with bar and covered deck area looking over your land. Phew!
With all that, the swimming pool and garage goes without saying. Additions are - full insulation, crimesafe screen and fully ducted air-conditioning! This place is worth your $985,000.

A 4 bedroom rural home in Mount Tamborine region is up for sale for $549,000. It's been beautifully renovated with tropically landscaped 3 acres and is fully fenced in. What's exciting about this property is its potential for income with little investment. The land has 2 dams that irrigate the 3 large horticultural sheds and has been approved as a wholesale nursery with 30,000 plants on the books to be included in the sale. The house itself is air-conditioned with lovely bright red walls so you can never be in a bad mood, blue roof and windows with white frames in a stone facade.

The Cockatiel Homestead is ideal for a peaceful lifestyle just a short distance away from local shops, beaches and Currumbin Valley. Set amongst 1 acre of lawns and natural fauna, the home has 4 bedrooms with formaland informal living, ensuite and large deck for entertainment. I'm quite sold on the deck actually... with its wooden flooring and sun loungers, wooden balustrade and view, it's rather perfect for reading. Beyond the house, on the rolling land, there are separate farming workshops and enough space for a pool, tennis court or equestrian plans.

Plain bare land to do what you will with is available all over Gold Coast. Make your own country retreats if you don't find one in the place and style of your choice.
I have never found it easier to find a house perfect for me. There are just so many absolutely smashing sites to help you in your search, whether for townhouses or landed estates, apartment/units or country homes and by region. There's also a whole list of real estate agents to help you through your quest!

HomeThere have been restrictions of foreign ownership and on buying holiday homes in certian areas. Permissions are required to buy property from the local authority office. But since joining the European Union, Austrian rules will change to apply equally to EU and Austrian citizens.

When buying real estate in Austria, a deposit of 10 percent is usual though not mandatory and it will be returned if the deal falls through. A common solicitor can handle the deal for both parties and when purchase contracts are signed, the funds are deposited with a trustee till the completion.

The price of a studio apartment is about $75,000.
A small apartment can come for anything from $87,500.
Large apartments are priced at around $145,000.
Detached homes can be about $365,000.

The cost of living in Austria is high but the EU membership should start to reduce the cost of imported goods.
Ski resorts and sumer holiday homes in hiking regions are popular with buyers.

You can find your own ideal apartment, farmhouse, chalet, castle, villa or just a plain simple home by exploring all the possibilities.

Cottages In Austria
August 19, 2006

CottageA cottage in Afritz has 4 bedrooms and can house up to 13 people. It's situated in the heart of the hiking area and right next door 16 km of different ski slopes and a ski school. The house has an indoor swimming pool and sauna. The garden comes with its own furniture, sand pit and barbeque. There's even a play area with table tennis!

A cosy holiday cottage with 2 bedrooms situated in Ried close to other cottages is furnished in much comfort while maintaining an outdoorsy look. It allows pets and has a balcony and terrace, a communal swimming pool and with ski slopes no more than 200m away you can even rent skiing equipment. The energy and electricity costs are covered in the rental.

Another cottage in the Danube Valley is a renovated farmhouse that gives you a peaceful view of the river. The property is the second oldest in the area, Vichtenstein, which is one of the prettiest holiday villages. The area is great for cross country skiing and boasts a ski lift in the village. With the local mountain and a 800 year old church, the cities of Passau and barokstad Schaeding within 20km distance, there are a few tourist spots worth visiting. The house has 3 bedrooms that can house 7 people and space for 2 pets.

The main attraction of this cottage in Untertilliach in the Tirol region for me is the simple fact that you don't get to be isolated in your own little world here - you live among the locals! Built in 1750, it has its own natural plot and mountain view. It can house up to 4 people and doesn't allow pets.

Make a choice of more holiday cottages in the Salzburg, Tirol, Karnten or other regions.

A Cabin In the Woods
August 3, 2006

Woodcabin If you're going to stay in Alaska then make your first choice of home- cabins.
You'll find some really comfortable places, in fact one on Caribou island has a sauna, hot tub and is completely furnished right down to spoons!! It's a lovely getaway sitting beside a lake.
If the lake doesn't suit you, how about fishing right off the Kenai River? It's a fisherman's delight with grandfather rights, cleaning table and portable dock! If you want to laze and find shapes in the clouds while you wait for your line to tug, there's even a covered picnic area!
You could also buy about 5 acres of land near various water bodies and build your own retreat, making it just that... a place away from the crowds.
Now this is interesting... for anyone looking to make a permanent switch, the oldest charter business in Homer is for sale too!

Take a look at this cabin in the woods! In the Donkey Lake Area, this place has lots of bear and moose around which make sit a popular choice with hunters. With one bedroom and loft, it's great for a single family -an adventurous one. It's great terrian for snowmobiling. The cabin already has basic furniture, stove and generator. You could get to it boat!

You can have a choice of three cabins on the shores of Resurrection Bay with private beach access. One of the cabins has complete wheelchair access. With a view of the water and mountains with huge glass windows overlooking it, these cabins near Seward are too good to miss.
