Tranquil, relaxing stay

We were so pleased to be able to bring our little furry friends with us on this trip. They absolutely loved the beach walks and exploring the rural setting around the studio. Kathryn and Kevin gave us a warm welcome and then pretty much left us to it. The spa pool was an added bonus to relax in. We would definitely recommend this accommodation and hope to stay again one day.

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 😊

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.

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.

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.
