We absolutely loved our stay at Mel’s place! It was the perfect base to explore Fiordland. It was exactly as advertised, but what we didn’t expect was to fall in love with the town. For those of you from the US, it may make you feel as if you’re the star of your own small town Hallmark movie. Life just moved a bit slower, everyone was so nice, everything is local — no big chains. We loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!
