Mel’s place is in a lovely neighborhood that is a few minutes’ drive everywhere (we rented a car) - the airport, a local supermarket, Queenstown center. A few minutes further were Gibbston Valley, the Kawarau Bungy Center, Arrowtown, etc. We were a family of 6 adults and a 2-year old, and the house was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was complete with all the utensils so we were able to cook our meals. The big lawn and all the toys and high chair made it perfect for our 2year old as well. Everything was spotlessly clean and the house and its views were much more beautiful than in the photos. There were even some thoughtful touches that made our Christmas stay there special, like some decor and a bottle of wine. :)
