I stayed at David's house for ten days with a friend of mine at the start of our New Zealand work & travel adventure.
It's been a pleasure to stay there, the room offers more than enough space for two people. You can always use the kitchen and the bathroom and even the washing machine can be used for free.
His son who has his room on the same floor is very kind.
If you need something, David tries his best to help you.
Overall it was a brilliant stay and we can definitely recommend it to everyone, not only backpackers.
Cheers and thanks a lot, David :)
