Drawing the curtains on a breathtaking view is the ultimate cherry on top of the travel cake. The ability to nestle in a mountain of blankets and pillows whilst watching the everchanging skies over a new city is simply wonderful.
We've stayed in every kind of accommodation over the years. Celebrated glorious views of the Eiffel Tower from luxury hotels, snuggled on a single bunk bed in Scotland, woken up with freshly brewed coffee and croissants in an Avignon apartment and B&B'd our way through England. But there were definitely a few favorite rooms with a view...

Watching the sun set over the Thames, then rise again the next morning, coffee in hand:
Transportation, storage, fantastic views, the ability to sleep in your bed or snooze in the sunshine on the roof, listening to the putter of the boat engine counterpointed with soft catcalls from the other end of the boat, and relaxing in the helm with a good book as the world floats past. What more could you wish for?
Mr Kiwi's favorite featured an infamous Irish brewing house
but the one I'm lusting after at the moment is a little more lofty; with rustling tree leaves, the patter of rain and the childish delight of sleeping in the treetops. It's all Peter Pan's fault.

So, how about you?
Where is that treehouse one? It looks so romantic!! How cool that your 'room' was actually a boat :)

I love the barge!! And the treehouse looks amazing. Where is that? Anything with fairy lights has me hooked :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - where is the treehouse one? That looks incredible! Totally trumps my ones (coming out tomorrow)
ReplyDeleteTreehouse looks like a dream!!!
ReplyDeleteI would so love to buy a barge. Always have wanted one! The treehouse looks like it would be fab too!
ReplyDeleteOh the treehouse would be so fun!
ReplyDeleteHeck yes! Id love sleeping in the tree tops. I'll have to remember the insect repellent though!
ReplyDeleteOh what I would do for a night in that magical tree house!
ReplyDeleteClaire xx
I know, right! The trouble is all of the UK ones book up really, really fast (or are a little lame...)
ReplyDeleteIt must be just so fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure it would be!
ReplyDeleteWe have adored all of our boat holidays, it's just idyllic - and who cares if it rains.
ReplyDeleteI have my fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteThis particular one is in the US, but I have tabs on a few UK ones - fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteDitto that!
ReplyDeleteIt's deep in a US forest somewhere :D
ReplyDeleteYou're totally going to make me jealous aren't you?
ReplyDeleteYou HAVE to do the tree house. You simply have to. (Love that first image as well!) xx
ReplyDeleteI want to stay in a tree house! The centerparcs near us has amazing looking luxery treehouse type accommodation, but it's so pricey! Some day.
ReplyDeleteThe tree house looks so magical and romantic - I want to go there!
ReplyDeleteOh - you must stay in a treehouse, we did in South Africa and it is lovely! Such a good idea! On a boat, the sound of the water slopping against the hull is as good as the view normally! Lulls me to sleep every time!
ReplyDeleteYou won't have time in your cross-continent travelling!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to stay in the treehouse, it would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow that treehouse looks amazing! Do you know where it is? I couldn't work out from the link! And thanks for hosting the travel link!
ReplyDeleteThese are all lush! The view from the canal boat is hard to beat though!
ReplyDeleteThat treehouse is beautiful! I love the idea, but with my allergies, I'm not sure how practical that would be...
ReplyDeleteNo, you'd need military strength antihistamines methinks...
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful moment to be in!
ReplyDeleteI really need to make it happen!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely, and so unique!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it just - they had me at the inclusion of fairy lights...!
ReplyDeleteYeah, we looked into those too - they don't look like proper, proper tree houses either!
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to for years - I just need to make it happen :)
