We absolutely loved our stay at Mel's place. The close proximity to town meant we were able to walk to town to allow us to enjoy a few drinks with dinner! The walk is an adventure through the forest and even more so on the way back after a few drinks!
The room itself is spacious and located below Mel's house. This means you may occasionally hear footsteps but it didn't impact our stay at all.
We were lucky enough to meet Mel and her gorgeous dog Eddie. They are both lovely and meeting them enhanced our stay as Mel had lots of great tips about the Wanaka area.
We would not hesitate to stay in Mel's air bnb if we're back in Wanaka again.
