David and Tamara’s place was indeed very comfortable and homely. They were both kind, friendly and thoughtful hosts. Their property was only 4 minutes out of St Arnaud, and made it a great base to explore around Lake Rotoiti, especially after a beautiful home cooked breakfast to start off your day. We enjoyed all our conversations with these friendly locals which was also one of our highlights of our first New Zealand trip. Thank you so much for sharing your home and your local knowledge with us. If we are able to come back to this beautiful part of the world, we would love to be able to stay with David and Tammy once again. David is a fount of knowledge about birds of NZ and gave lots of tips to Rob!
