Wonderful for time out, beautiful views and birdsong
As the title indicates, this was a wonderful, opportunity to replenish spiritually and emotionally. We were fortunate with good weather, but the views would have been sensational whatever the weather, and the quietness and beauty gave 100% restoration, even within a 24 hour period.

Bliss
A warm welcome from Kevin and the dogs on arrival. A lovely clean, beautifully decorated accomodation. All necessary equipment to cook and some basic pantry items provided. Fresh milk which we loved(not uht) and some yummy cereal. The spa was fabulous and views perfect. We had a real nice peaceful stay which was what we were looking for. Finished off with a 2 minute drive to ocean beach before heading off. Fabulous property, fabulous hosts.

Home away from home
There’s a reason why Kathryn and Kevin are rated as exceptional hosts, that’s because that is exactly what they are…lovely genuine people who really make you feel welcome. The setting looks exactly like the photos, my partner and I felt so relaxed as soon as we arrived. I highly recommend staying at Twin Palms and look forward to returning soon 😊

Quiet cottage with excellent ocean and mountain views. Kathryn and Kevin are wonderful hosts. Lots of walking trails nearby. Accommodation even comes with a fire pit, barbecue, kayaks, two dogs and a cat! (and a sometimes resident kiwi). We enjoyed a great four days here.

Peaceful retreat
This property ticked all the boxes for me - quiet, private, bush and beach views. The interior is spacious with a refreshing decor that instantly relaxes, and the bed is comfy. The spa pool is a real bonus! I enjoyed it all so much I stayed an extra night.

Totally Awesome Place to Relax
What a beautiful, tranquil place to relax. Kevin & Kathryn are truly wonderful hosts. The chalet was immaculate and the facilities more than adequate. The spa was so good to relax in and with such an awesome view out toward the ocean. A special mention to Vespa and Timmy the friendliest little dogs I've met, so funny and friendly. Great place to explore NZ at its finest, great beaches, tramps and bays to explore. Thank you so much Kevin & Kathryn (Vespa & Timmy). An awesome stay!!

Definitely worth a visit
We were really delighted with the well-appointed bach Kathryn and Kevin have set up for guests. They welcomed us and made us feel at home - as did their two gorgeous dogs who got on very well with our spoodle. The bach is actually bigger than the photographs suggest with a view down the valley to the sea - we could hear the waves on the beach and kiwi calling at night. We would thoroughly recommend Kevin and Kathryn as hosts and would definitely come back should there be another opportunity.

Hello, thankyou for looking at our French country chalet. My husband and I have built the chalet together alongside our rammed earth home. Kevin in a builder and I am a nurse.
Our children have grown up and now we are left with the fur animals and plenty of lovely people passing through our lives with our bnb. We are very happy to share our piece of paradise with you and happy to inform and educate of the surrounding area.

Why they chose this property

Why not! We have a beautiful ocean view from the spa pool. Tuis, kiwis, wood pigeons along with piece and tranquility in beautiful surroundings.Twin Palms is more like your home away from home. (without the maintenance), leave that to us!
