Melanie’s place is absolutely breathtaking! There are plenty of amenities to make your stay comfortable, don’t worry if your not used to cold weather because you will be warm and cosy in no time! We had a hire car and it was a quick and easy drive into town. On one of our days we walked into town and it was a lovely walk into town along Lake Wakatipu. We walked back home and it was more challenging with all of the hills, but there was a bus we could have easily caught. Going up to Remarkables and Coronet we used the hotel bus and caught it from the Mercure. Super easy to walk down the hill! Couldn’t have been more perfect! The hot tub was amazing after snowboarding or after a big day sight seeing! I highly recommend Melanie’s place, it was perfect in every way!
