Mel is a great communicator and well organised. The apartment is beautifully presented, well equipped and very comfortable. The location close to the ocean is awesome. You can walk for miles along the beach or just sit and take in the beautiful views of Cloudy Bay. Blenheim attractions are not far away and White's Beach, 10-15 mins up the Port Underwood road, is definitely worth visiting. Lunch at the Wairua River winery, chosen from Mel's list of recommendations, was excellent. This is a delightful place to use as a base to explore the Blenheim region.
