Kotare Muse was a delightful place to stay several days. The owners have shown meticulous attention to detail and pride in what they have created so you really care about keeping it nice. Hosts friendly and available without being intrusive and though they live on property the acccommodation is very private with shady deck and great barbeque fully equipped for alfresco meals. Location about five kms from Takaka so you do need to drive to cafes etc but beach only couple kms away and great mountain biking on the local hill. So much to do in the region we would return to Kotare for longer next time. Good off road parking too.
