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.

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.

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.
