Wow! 12/10. We were so impressed and so comfortable at Camelot and it felt like home. Everything is so well thought out, the kitchen has everything you could want (the coffee machine is a nice touch!) and the outdoor area was dreamy - not just for the spa, bbq area and views but also with the most incredible lawn ever. Paul and Dina are perfect hosts!

The most perfect vacation home

A gorgeous place that had everything we could have asked for. We had a wonderful weekend despite the weather. With a picturesque backyard and a well equipped house, Camelot was one of the best South Island stays we have been to. We are definitely coming back for a longer stay next year.
