Melanie is an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. She gave us some good suggestions on what to see, where to go and the best grocery shopping.
Not all accommodations we have stayed at in the Southland have air conditioning. We were very happy that the AC at Melanie's kept us nice and cool on a couple of very warm days.
Lots of room for one couple with a well appointed kitchen and an easy walk to the lake and into town.
