Motupipi

Motupipi is a settlement in the Tasman District of New Zealand's upper South Island, located at the mouth of the Motupipi River east of Tākaka.

The settlement began as about 1500 acres of small dairy, fruit and hop farms.

[1] There are records of several notable early settlers: The Golden Bay Coal Company began mining for coal at Motupipi in the early 20th century.

By 1905, the school was a one-roomed building with a roll of 60 students and capacity for 10 more.
