My husband and I stayed for 5 very comfortable nights at Mel's. It's the right size for two people with lovely views to Lake Rotorua to the front, rolling hills to the back, beautiful sunsets. Easy driving distance to sightseeing spots, with Hamurama Springs and Okerere Falls just "around the corner". Mel was great to communicate with and very much respects the privacy of her guests. We enjoyed going to Okerere Falls café for great coffee. It has been a very enjoyable stay and we would not hesitate to say to our friends "do yourself a favour and come and stay at Mel's".
