"Magical find."

10.0

Mel & Glen went over and above. Glen lit the firepit and we drank wine and chatted to our new neighbours while admiring the view. Mel has thought of very possible item that you might want while on holiday. The fridge is well stocked with free drinks, homebaked muffins, bottled water and juice just to name a few things. We would have liked to have spent another few days at Mels. The bed is super comfy and the shower is luxurous. Thank you Mel and Glen for making us feel so at home.

Nothing. Mels exceeded our expectations.

"Clean, comfortable accommodation with an “ at home” feel. Beautiful outlook from units. Handy to Waitomo Caves."

10.0

Beautiful farm style location. Lovely outlook from property. Accommodation was comfortable and clean. Clearly looked after with love. Felt like we were in someone’s home. Plenty of snack items provided, including home made. Fresh milk, bread, jams, and eggs to make own breakfast with. Proprietors are lovely people and we felt well looked after.

"Beautiful, peaceful accommodation"

9.0

The property is amazing, peaceful and with a gorgeous view. Unit is large and spacious. Mel and Glen are super nice hosts. Loved the hot tub. We loved the animals around the property and the country feel. We are vegan and though we couldn't eat any of the snacks provided, we did request and have soy milk so we had plenty of breakfast options.

The room has a lot of decor, which limits the space on counters, etc. Not really a big deal for our one night stay.
