Mellissa was an awesome host, she gave us tips about local places and hokotika river/bridge if not for which we would have missed a local secret (must visit.) We loved the place, the room had all the amenities we had wished for and most importantly a private bathroom. The place was clean, we'll kept and the kitchen had everything you would need to make your stay homely. Would definitely recommend this place if you are visiting Punakiki or on your way to Queenstown.
