David's place was just what we needed, an easy to find, 1 night stopover at Papatowai. Loved the quiet rural setting. The bed was extremely comfortable, a great shower and plenty of hooks for hanging things on. David was not fazed when we arrived a bit earlier either and was happy for us to drop our bags in. He was a friendly host with good local knowledge and recommendations of what to see. Would highly recommend as a base from which to explore the Catlins.
