Kotare Muse: a bijou chalet for two | Ski Chalet in Takaka
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.
In addition:
• Nespresso coffee machine and milk frother (bring your favourite nespresso compatible coffee capsules).
• Quality gas BBQ with side burner, plus spray oil, pans and other accessories.
• Tower fan for helping to keep cool on those hotter days and nights.
• Heaters in all rooms.
