There was an old woman who lived in a shoe... and now it turns out that you can too.Described as a size 318 boot, this whimsical guest house is owned by husband and wife Steve and Judy Van-Den Yssel-Richards.Located on the very north tip of New Zealand's South Island, this one-bedroom cottage nestled in picturesque hazelnut groves looks as though it has appeared straight from the pages of a fairytale book.But it was hand-built by the couple, who spent over a year perfecting their unusual home - and have now opened it to guests too.Despite looking like an old boot, the luxury cottage packs in a shower built for two, courtyard and open fireplace in the living room.And wannabe boot-dwellers can live out the dream for just £150 a night.Judy said: 'The idea came from one of those conversations that start in one place and sort of spiral out of control.'We wanted to create a unique place for couples to stay so they could get away from the stresses of life and really re-connect with each other.'It started off as a giant teapot, then a tree house but eventually we got on to a boot, which really stuck out, and we just wanted to run with. So we did!'(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
