Wow! Melanie's place was the best accommodation of our four weeks on the South Island. It's sparkling clean, spacious, comfortable and exceptionally well equipped. We very much appreciated the incredibly comfortable bed. As someone who dislikes overhead lighting I was thrilled to have lamps (which in our experience are hard to come by in NZ accommodation for whatever reason). We thoroughly appreciated the little extras - the night lights, heated mattress pad and wide assortment of wine glasses - not to mention the lovely decor. This accommodation is finished to a very high standard and we felt quite spoiled. It's location suited us well for visiting the wineries of Blenheim and the hiking tracks of Picton. Melanie is a fantastic host and five nights wasn't enough!
