Staying with David was a great experience through and through. Check-in was very flexible and when we arrived late in the evening he offered us to have dinner with him. The room is big, warm an the bed is very comfortable (!!). Everything in the house was very tidy and clean. We also enjoyed playing with his little puppy (so cute). David himself is very nice and polite so everything felt like home right away. It's also important to notice, that the house is pretty close to all the beautiful spots in the Catlins (Cathedral caves, nugget point, lake wilkie, Mclean falls etc...) + there's many beautiful beaches with perfect waves (if you want to go for a surf). All in all we highly recommend David and his house. We definitely want to go back.
