Fabulous Stay

Get away for the long weekend (Labour Weekend). Was a lovely spot of paradise and the hosts were very helpful and friendly. Only thing to mention was that there was no TV, which wouldn't have mattered so much if the All Blacks weren't playing on one of the nights that we stayed. Otherwise highly recommend.

Lovely little cottage ideal for a family

We had a lovely time at the cottage. We love the site, the tidiness and the overall atmosphere. A few suggestions : remove a few dining chairs to free up some space. Add a small wardrobe could be quite useful too! Fantastic time nevertheless ! Thanks a lot for the memories .

Twin Palms was exactly what we expected - a dream!

Twin Palms was exactly what we expected - a dream! The location was wonderful & accommodated all ages of our family by utilising the estuary & the beach. There was so much to do, the only thing we missed this year was a boat! The section and shed suited us so well, allowed us to set up all of our tents around the section and utilise the shed as a base for cooking etc. All the facilities were neat and tidy. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be back thank you

Beautiful property in perfect location

The property is idyllic and clean which made our stay very relaxing. The outdoor area is well planned and can be enjoyed regardless of the weather. We stayed with a dog and a toddler but the property was fully fenced so safe for both. Our 10 year old slept on the mattress in the bay window which unfortunately had no curtains so he had few early starts. Everything else was absolutely lovely., location included. Thank you for having us, we certainly would like to come back!

Hi there and thank you for the feedback. Although there are curtains, they are on the inner edge of the window seat so as to keep the place as light and airy as possible during the day. This it seems does have it's disadvantages in the early morning. Thanks for letting us know. Cheers Annee.

AMAZING location, gorgeous little bach - perfect for a small family. We are a family of 3, teenage son, and a fur child.. the host was amazing to deal with, the bach was very well equipped with everything you need.. beautifully renovated.THINGS THAT WOULD MAKE THIS EVEN MORE AMAZING:1. cover between main house and bathrooms (we happened to be staying during awful weather and needing to go in and out in the pouring rain wasn't pleasant)2. curtains in the bay windows/beds... our son slept on the bay window in the lounge, but the curtain is on the outside of the bed, not over the window, so the light shone right on him.. curtains or blinds covering the actual windows would be better3. No wi-fi; this is not usually an issue for us.. what made it tricky is that reception was pretty bad (One NZ AND 2 Degrees).. made it tricky with bad weather and also if you need to logon and do any work remotely, hot spotting is not really viable (maybe Spark is better?)Aside from these things, which aren't major, we absolutely LOVED this bach enjoyed meeting some lovely 'locals' too.. We will be back for sure!
