I've stayed in lots of B&Bs and some are definitely better than others. Tanya and Tony have paid close attention to what makes for a truly memorable experience and applied it at Melawondi Spring Retreat. The little touches are what makes it so special, including fresh-baked bread that appears like magic, inspiring literature and little treats. On a practical level,... More

A brilliant birthday suprise for my wife of which she was very appreciative. The location is picture perfect and secluded. Melawondi makes you feel as if you have got away from it all.

Nestled away from Tony and Tanya's property, we drove up the driveway to find our luxury cabin/apartment. It... More

This turned out to be the best decision we made and the most wonderful,... More
