World famous in New Plymouth, 22 Scott Street is an architectural icon unlike any other. Designed by renowned architect Roger Walker in the early 1970’s, this extraordinary home has captivated visitors from around the globe, earning international acclaim as one of New Zealand’s most memorable places to stay.
Lovingly owned by its current owners since 2005, the home became the heart of a world-renowned bed and breakfast, welcoming hundreds of guests and rising to #1 on TripAdvisor. Visitors described it as a “wonderfully quirky architectural gem” and a place of “magical hours in the sky,” with breathtaking views of Mount Taranaki, the city and coastline.
Walker’s signature design is on full display, with playful forms, soaring rooflines, circular windows and interconnected spaces that create the feel of a charming hillside village. Spanning five levels, the home blends striking architecture with warmth, showcasing rich tawa timber, beautifully crafted interiors, multiple living areas, quality kitchen finishes, peaceful bedrooms and an ever-changing connection to the outdoors.
Every level offers a new perspective, with decks, balconies and feature windows framing panoramic views.

You can also see Mount Ruapehu which is absolutely striking.
At the pinnacle, the iconic glass turret delivers a truly unforgettable 360-degree outlook that has enchanted guests from across the world.
