My husband and I enjoyed 8 days at Melissa’s place. It’s in a great location that is about 6mins into town (we recommend driving the backroads) or a pleasant 30min walk on a biking path along the water. The views of the mountains (The Remarkables) are incredible and she has a lovely sitting area outside that is nice to enjoy them from. She gave us good recommendations of places to go and things to do, which was much appreciated because there are so many options. Her place is centered in between Queenstown and Frankton and easy to get to the many wineries, shops, restaurants, airport, hikes, and adventure activities. We had our own entrance, were able to use her washer and hang dry our laundry, watch the TV, and use the shared restroom whenever we needed to. We were also given a good amount of cupboards and fridge space and use the kitchen equipment to cook with, which helped save some money eating in on occasion. It was a home-like feel, and Melissa was very easy to share a space with. She had friends over occasionally, and they were all very friendly. We got a much more local perspective staying there than in a hotel.
