Top Highbank Hotel Reviews

Methven Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A good spot to stay before heading up to Mt Hutt the following morning."

Big Tree Lodge Methven - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s basic but does the job. Warm bed, warm lounge, adequate kitchen, close enough to town and the vibes are all good. Could do with little lights by the individual beds so don’t have to have main light on, but not too much of an issue overall. Would stay again for cheap an convenient hostel close to ski field."

Fable Terrace Downs Resort by Mgallery

8/10 Good

"We stayed three nights there while skiing at Mount Hutt. It was the perfect place for our family during this adventure with an easy drive to the mountain in the morning. Our room was clean and well laid out, and we utilize the kitchen to save on having to go out for meals. One while the mountain was closed it was a quick easy driving to Christchurch for some other activities. I highly recommend staying here."
