Friday off-topic. Quaint places that you cherish

[airiefairie]

Which is the quaintest, coziest, cutest place you've been to? A place that makes you feel warm inside, where you've caught yourself sighing with relief and purring with joy? A place as if taken from a post-card, or from the fairy tales of yore? Perhaps it is a place that you relate to a personal story that still makes you smile? Or one where you just feel at home like nowhere else. Come on, name such a place in the world! And maybe post a picture or two?

Mine:

The hills around Theewaterskloof dam in the Western Cape, South Africa, are awash with tasty spring colours. A cute little house near the shore is what I could call my family's personal paradise.

I loved Dunedin and Christchurch! Marvelous sceneries. <3

For a small town Dunners does have an incredible range of activities available; scenery, scholarship, arts etc. ChCh is certainly a wonderful place as well (did you get to go to neighbouring Akaroa?), but missing so much of the old town post-earthquake.

We toured the Banks peninsula for a whole day. The Giants House in Akaroa is adorable, reminded me of Parc Guell in Barcelona. =)
