Motupipi Ski Chalet | Kotare Muse: a bijou chalet for two

1 Bedroom Ski Chalet in Motupipi, Takaka

Kotare Muse (named for the NZ kingfisher that often pauses for thought nearby) is our charming guest chalet located in a garden setting adjacent to our home.
Renovated to high standards and well thought out to maximise the living space, with quality furnishings throughout, our chalet offers comfortable and compact living for a couple (or single person): Queen bedroom; shower room; sitting room with kitchenette; small garden and deck with BBQ. Located in a garden setting adjacent to the owners' home, guests share a driveway and property access but have exclusive use of the chalet and its facilities. Safe off-street parking for cars/SUVs. High sided vehicles or vehicles loaded with bikes or kayaks on the roof (possible to park on driveway if removed first), or towing a boat, will need to park on the road.
The good-sized bedroom features a comfortable queen bed dressed in luxury linen, with a large wardrobe (with shelves and drawers), bedside drawers and an easy chair. En suite shower room with toilet and vanity. The cosy living room has two comfy leather La-Z-Boy recliners, FreeView TV, dining table and chairs, plus a kitchenette amply equipped with everything needed to prepare light meals: kettle, toaster, microwave, small fridge, sink and utensils (please note there is no hob or oven available). Double French doors open onto a covered veranda with garden views, creating a light and airy atmosphere; a perfect relaxing holiday retreat after a busy day exploring Golden Bay's environs.

Summary: Kotare Muse9th - 15th February 2025Wonderful little chalet in owners beautiful garden setting. A lot of thought and attention to detail has been given to make Kotare Muse as comfortable and welcoming as it is. Spotlessly clean too! Many places to visit in surrounding areas or within an hour or so drive. Mustn’t forget Julie’s scones, freshly baked on our arrival …. yummy! Thank you Julie and Mark.

Summary: Absolutely lovely! A small gem with everything you need. Lovely host Julie, who told us so much about the things to do and see. They have made and printed a map with all details and tips on it. The appartment is small but well thought out. Has all you need as a couple. The WiFi is not always good but most of the time it is sufficient :) Highly recommended!

Summary: Amazing! Was greeted upon arrival and was told about the area. Kitchen was set with gorgeous garden flowers and a personal card. At night, the garden was lit with sparking lights. Super tranquil. Happy to have celebrated our anniversary here.

Summary: Although small, every attention has been given to detail. The chalet’s decoration is lovely, the leather recliners are the most comfortable seating we have found in New Zealand, and the bed is wonderful. Very clean, safe to leave windows open at night to hear the crickets and for ventilation. A nice private getaway place for 2. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Summary: Julie and Mark left us fresh scones with butter and homemade jam and a bit of chocolate. The sheets and towels were high quality and everything was sparkly clean. Close to Takaka and the beach in a quiet neighborhood. Though the space was small, we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Good value for the money. Highly recommended.
