David is so kind, genuine and welcoming. You can’t put into words just how kind he is. It is so fun to chat with him and meet all of his animals...especially Pup and Barley! The shed is awesome and David built it by hand. It’s really very impressive. He provides eggs, bacon, warm bread, etc. which is truly above and beyond. We loved the tour around the farm with him and Barley leading the way. If you get a chance to come to New Zealand you must stay here (great for big groups) for a truly authentic stay and chance to meet an unforgettable person and his dogs. He also makes amazing wool blankets by hand and I’m so pleased I was able to purchase one and bring it home. We’ve seen a lot and met a lot of people during our travels over the years and currently in New Zealand, but our time with David has been our most memorable and favorite time yet.
