David has been the most amazing host that anyone can ask for. He is generous, kind, charming, funny and liberal. He greeted us with such a warm shed with all these breakfast ready for our next morning all laid out nicely on the bfast table. His shed was self built with wood and it is so heavenly rustic and beautiful that I don't even want to leave the shed. who would imagine never wanting to leave a shed? We enjoyed our day there although it was just a one night stay. David brought us around the farm to explore: from herding the sheep to milking a cow, to even collecting eggs from the chicken ranch. His two dogs barley and pup are the cutest and most adorable dogs that would follow us almost everywhere we went! We also sat on the quad bike that allowed us to explore his entire 500 acres of farm.. Totally breathtaking view and a time to unwind. I must say that although I visited many parts of the south of nz, David's place is the one that left the most fond memories. I already miss him, his dogs and his shed. My husband and I totally enjoyed our night stay here! I would recommend anyone that loves animals and want to experience a farm life to definitely stop by even if it isn't quite on the way your itinerary while traveling as you wouldn't find many hosts that are farmers this nice! Cheers to you David. Shaun and I really miss your farm..:)
