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.

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.

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.

Loved it!
Absolutly loved our getaway from the city for three nights at Twin Palms. Amazing views looking out to the beaches and up the Whangarei Heads from the deck (and in the spa). Ocean beach is beautiful. We played a little table tennis, walked the beach, hiked one of the tracks (Need sturdy boots), relaxed and enjoyed the full moon while sitting by the fire pit. This was exactly the escape we needed. We feel blessed to find somewhere we could get away to with our dog. Dogs are allowed on Ocean beach but not elsewhere as there is lots of wildlife that needs protecting, but this was no problem as Ocean beach was big enough fo him. Our hosts, Kathryn and Kevin, are such kind people and we loved the daily visits from their wee dogs (Timmy & Vespa). I look forward to returning again to this piece of paradise.
