My partner and I finished our road trip around the south island of New Zealand at David's place. We chose to stay here mainly for location, as it is about 1.5-2hours away from Mount Cook (where we had been prior) and about 2 hours from Christchurch where we flew out from. David was a wonderful host, as his communication was fantastic. We had told him we would be there at 10pm and he was very quick to reply. Our stay was the perfect end to our trip in New Zealand, as the place was gorgeous and immaculate. It was clean, homey, all the amenities were of a very high standard, the bed was comfortable, and they were very generous with how much they provided (kitchenette fully equipped, farm fresh eggs, shampoo and conditioner, netflix password, etc). The exterior was really fun being on a farm too! We woke up to the sight of alpacas running, and stunning views of Ashwick Flat. There is mention of David's dogs who are very well behaved and friendly. We were lucky enough to be greeted by them when we arrived at the property. In saying that, this was when the dogs were being fed, but otherwise they stay out of your way. The only regret I have was not staying long enough at David's to further enjoy the beautiful place he has put together.
