A charming chalet in the perfect location to explore everything that Takaka/Golden Bay have to offer – the pictures truly don’t do it justice! Cozy, clean and comfortable, with all of the amenities you need for a relaxing stay (trust me, you won't want to get out of the bed!). Located just minutes from town and within driving distance to all primary tourist destinations, it’s the perfect place to serve as home base in the area. But what sets Kotare Muse apart is Julie and Mark's warm hospitality. From the moment I first contacted them through to the moment I left, they were available and eager to help in any way possible. They spent a great deal of time answering all of my questions and providing suggestions on places to explore both while on the road and in town. From the homemade scones and handwritten welcome note waiting for me upon arrival to the quick communication/thorough responses to the personal attention I received during my stay, Julie and Mark set the bar high when it comes to Airbnb hospitality. Absolutely wonderful hosts and a lovely property -- I would definitely return to Kotare Muse and would highly recommend it to others!
