Host profile image

Hello, thankyou for looking at our French country chalet. My husband and I have built the chalet together alongside our rammed earth home. Kevin in a builder and I am a nurse.
Our children have grown up and now we are left with the fur animals and plenty of lovely people passing through our lives with our bnb. We are very happy to share our piece of paradise with you and happy to inform and educate of the surrounding area.

Why they chose this property

Why not! We have a beautiful ocean view from the spa pool. Tuis, kiwis, wood pigeons along with piece and tranquility in beautiful surroundings.Twin Palms is more like your home away from home. (without the maintenance), leave that to us!
