Mel’s Studio overlooking the Marina is a great convenient location and nice lodging. Mel is an outstanding host and very easy to get in touch with for excellent communications. Studio is everything that Mel promises you and is PERFECT for couples! One of the few AirBnbs that provide you tasty breakfast items which is a nice extra. If you live in NZ or just visiting the Lake Taupo area from another land you need to stay here. I rate it as a must stay and it is a great value. Cheers!
