Can’t say enough wonderful things about Merivale Manor. When we arrived, the owner greeted us and made us feel welcomed. We stayed in the two bedroom guest house and it far exceeded our expectations. It had lovely old world charm with very clean, modern accommodations. We were helped with planning our day, starting with suggestions on where to eat, places to visit and where to shop. Everything was within easy walking distance and we felt extremely safe walking around. We highly recommend them and plan to stay there on our next visit to NZ. We stayed in several 5 star hotels around our travels of the South Island but the Manor was absolutely the best
