Mel’s place in Te Anau was a great stop on our tour of the South Island. It was easy to find and was the perfect location for our day trip to Milford Sound, even with having to leave early to catch our kayak tour. While small, the apartment had an updated kitchen, was well decorated, and had a very comfortable bed with electric blankets for the chilly nights in the fall/winter. The views of the mountain ranges from the porch were also stunning! Mel was very helpful with food and grocery recommendations in the area and helped retrieve a left item on our drive back through Te Anau.
