About this property

Twin Palms La Cote - Country Coastal retro shack 12 minutes to Crescent Head.

Relax at this peaceful classic coastal shack with the vintage charm of an old Aussie weekender. This charming character home is a short 12 minute drive from stunning Crescent Head Beach.
Coastal shacks hold a special place in the hearts of many Australians and
Twin Palms-La Cote is a classic example, humble in both construction and styling, exuding nostalgic reminders of a simpler time. Built in the 1950s, it was especially constructed as a holiday residence.
A short walk to retro South Kempsey Corner Store for excellent coffee completes the experience.
A recent review…..
”What a find! Had the best cafe brunch we’ve ever had in a country town. Very friendly staff, great smoothies, perfect coffee and superb food. The bacon and eggs and ultimate wrap were generous and well priced. Fab food made with love.”
You’ll love Kempsey’s country town vibe, gorgeous river, Slim Dusty’s museum, proximity to stunning Crescent Head beach and the home of the Aussie Akubra hat.

Why they chose this property

Kempsey is an underestimated gem of a town positioned perfectly between stunning beaches and beautiful countryside. It is one of the last remaining quintessential Aussie towns. It’s a very special place.

What makes this property unique

It’s a Time Machine to the past when Australians holidayed within Australia in coastal fibro shacks up and down the coast in the 50’s to the 80’s.
