We had such a lovely start to our travels in New Zealand staying at Melanie's. A gorgeous house, with a clean and comfortable room in a quiet neighbourhood. Melanie gave us great advice on the area and helped us to settle in. She really shares her house and is sociable and lovely to chat with, but also gives you space to chill and do your own thing. We are already planning to stay with her again before we fly home. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Melanie :)
