One of the best places we've been to during our time in New Zealand!
Me and my Boyfriend stayed at Melissas home for one week and we enjoyed it so much. Melissa, her mother and Peter are such hostible persons. Melissa was for example our guide for a hiking track and told us so many things about the nature and area, she gave us a lot of delicious food and was all in all just so friendly and helpful esspecially when I was ill for a few days.
The accomodation is really gorgeous, too. The outdoor kitchen and outdoor shower, the TV room, our own room and the house with it's views is just perfect!
And you will never get bored at her home because there is so much to explore - the beach and the tracks are so close and even if you want to hike on a track not next to the house Melissa will surely drop you off there.
So we definitely recommend Melissas home and would come back every time if we could! :)
