Great house for a family get together
Great house for family and very well set up and well stocked with plenty of kitchen items right through to bikes for a ride around the block. It did say was accessible but we had a few challenges managing with a wheelchair however access across covered deck between bedroom and lounge was fantastic. Would absolutely stay again.

Home away from home!
Lovely place to stay. The fence at the bottom of the garden,(left and right- hand corners) our dog managed to get out off ,so needs to be fenced off a bit more! The back garden was very well fenced . Really appreciated the dairy free and GF food items in the fridge. Clean,tidy house.

Weekend away with friends and dogs
Fabulous weekend with good friends and our dogs. This is our second stay at Twin Palms and once again communication by the host was outstanding. The property is well maintained and very clean with everything we needed for the weekend. Lovely to have linen and towels included and a log fire for winter stays. Highly recommend and we look forward to returning.

The home that has everything.....and accepts a dog!
This large property is home away from home, with a well stocked kitchen, a very full linen cupboard and bathrooms with all the lotions and potions you may need. Added to this a fully fenced section for the dog and log fire and this place was perfect. Highly recommended, for the location (a very short walk to the beach) and a wonderful host who was very responsive.

Most comfortable holiday beds I've ever slept in. Excellent for a holiday with our three dogs with secure fencing of all the lawn areas. Lovely welcome basket with yummy goodies. Bikes and boogie boards available to use. Fabulous upstairs teenage room with TV and sofa. Great location 5mins from the beach. Loved my early moaning dips. Thanks very much for your hospitality and excellent communication Anne Marie.

Wonderful venue
We booked this accommodation for the weekend of our son's wedding. The location was ideal as it was only a 10 min drive to the wedding venue. It worked really well as a base for family from various parts of the country, either to stay, or to come and go during the weekend. The house was warm and comfortable, with many of the basic kitchen supplies provided, as well as books and games, and plenty of linen and towels. The house is very close to the beach, and it would have been a nice walk if the weather had been more settled. All in all, a great place to stay, and we would recommend it for other family groups.

Exceptional hostess!
Twin Palms is an excellent destination, just a block back from Waikanae Beach. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. Communication with Anne Marie was easy - she was very generous in supplying bread, juice & milk - and a beautiful bunch of fresh flowers greeted us on arrival. We will definitely book again if in the area!

She provided thoughtful touches including our choice of bread and milk along with butter and juice and lovely flowers on the table. Wonderful to have baking staples in the pantry to access. Lovely spot to relax in with warm fire place and a quick walk to the beach we enjoyed daily. Perfect location to access cafes . We really enjoyed our stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Anne Marie Morrison

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Anne Marie and I live in Lower Hutt (about 45 minutes from Waikanae Beach). Myself and my husband Brian have 5 Kids, the youngest is 18. We run our own business and I look after Twin Palms. We all love Waikanae Beach and have spent many fun and happy times at Twin Palms.

Why they chose this property

We searched for years to find a property that we as a family could use and rent out to holiday makers. We decided that the house had to have a welcoming feel, had to be a few minutes to the beach, had to be large enough for bigger groups of families/friends to stay and had to have a large deck to cater for a big group. When our family is at Twin Palms, especially in the summer time, we spend most of the time on the 3 level deck which has easy capacity to seat a good sized group. It is a fantastic sun trap as well. We also decided that when we had family trips away to other areas of New Zealand we hated taking our own linen and towels, hence the reason we provide all linen and fully made beds for all our holiday makers free of charge as well as no charge for cleaning.

What makes this property unique

Short walk to 3 great local cafes/bars and a well stocked dairy, bakery and takeaway. Also close to a great 4 Square food market on Tutere Street.

Couple of minutes walk to the fantastic, sandy and safe Waikanae Beach, as well as being 5 minutes walk from the well known and popular Waikanae Golf club.
