Damien was a great host. His home is spacious and beautiful with a Victorian theme. We really enjoyed his delicious dinners with fresh veggies from his garden and his company. He’s a great resource for finding good nature walks and exploring Dunedin as well as other destinations. He’s super handy and you can learn a lot from him.
