We've spent five really nice days with Dave in his cosy little house with a beautiful garden around it. Dave was very welcoming, warm-hearted and always had a smile on his face. We immediately felt at home. He always helped us (e.g. buying a van, planning the next few stops of our trip...) and we really appreciate the tipps and suggestions he gave us. David cooked for us twice and we were allowed to make some laundry and use the kitchen everytime.
Thank you so much for this great start in New Zealand!
