Scott is a warm and talkative host. He shows genuine care about his guests. The rooms are compact, exquisitely clean and have everything one needs. The bed was a very comfortable true queen. The shower is great for getting trail dust and beach residue off after a day in In the nearby Abel Tasman. The common area includes everything else you could want—a robust breakfast —toast, cereal, yogurt, fruit, refrigerator space. A load of wash is easy to run and string out to dry at the end of a day hiking. Quiet with a few guests in the other rooms to interact with. Delightful.
