I live 15 minutes drive on the main road North of Dunedin. If you need to stay actually in Dunedin, this is not the right place for you to stay.

CURRENT MISSION

To explore, garden and live self sustainably....

ABOUT ME

Back in my Whare with cats of joy. Travel was grand, will be back out there again, in the mean time offerings of mine house with all it's rustic goodness in the grand village of Waitati are up for the offering. Waitati is 15mins drive north of Dunedin, so it's more of a stay on the way in or out rather than stay and explore Dunedin, or if you have a car it's fine. :)

I admire and respect the open-mindedness of being able to offer complete strangers of like minds the opportunity to encounter different lifestyles and different thoughts.
In New Zealand people often crash on couches, or offer couches to crash on, it's part of our culture, no biggie. But after providing and having couches provided I'm realizing how different it is in other cultures and how appreciative I am of the offer to 'crash here, couch if you want it'.

I have always had an open couch policy and it's provided me with some great friends, brilliant opportunities, and some of the best conversation.

Thank you for couches.

(oh me? I teach film-making online, love good conversation and fine music of varying genres. So if you would like to talk life, the universe and everything, or enjoy good film, or share some music, I'm thoroughly interested. I can show you some of the funkier haunts around Dunedin for a great meal, a good coffee or a great beverage. Also there are some beautiful beaches, great walks, superb nature...)

PHILOSOPHY

Open your mind and let the goodness in.

Skydiving! Love it.
Been involved in going to and organising outdoor dance parties for the past 20 yeras, there's a great community and a good spirit involved in outdoor dances and festivals. It's where my heart is at.
Good tunes, good conversation, good people, good films, good times.
