Overall, we highly enjoyed our stay.
Vickie and Scott’s place was very clean and orderly. There were two other couples in the other rooms that shared the common space with us, and I initially was concerned about logistics of using the kitchen space and living room; however, everyone was extremely polite and considerate, so there were no issues with the other couples. We had so much fun bonding with the other couples and talking with Scott about various topics of interest. He is a well-informed and highly intelligent person to have conversations with. We also enjoyed being serenaded by Vickie and Scott during the day when they played their piano upstairs. We had zero issues with the hosts living upstairs, but I know some people may not like being in a space with people living upstairs, so it’s something to consider when booking this space. We enjoyed the use of the garden for fresh vegetables, and the host had some very good tips on what to do and where to go while in Abel Tasman.
