Wow, So impressed with this lodge. Friendly check inn, staff were exceptional, really bringing their A game to customer service. Rooms new, clean, tidy and presented well. Daily Breakfast was excellent. Would i stay again 💯 Would i recommend this hotel to others 💯 Definately the place to stay when visiting Methven.
Very comfortable lodge. Staff was friendly and helpful, the restaurant is excellent, and the lounge is a great place to unwind at the end of the day with a game of pocket billiards and a drink from the bar, or just sit and relax by the wood burning stove in a comfy leather chair or couch.
Was warmly welcomed on check in and continued to have great customer service for the entire stay. The restaurant is great with amazing food and so convenient. The view of the mountains at breakfast was an added bonus. Would highly recommend!
The whole experience was at a 5* level. From the checking in, through to customer service, through to accommodation, through to it's evening meal menu, through to it's selection of superb breakfast home made choices through to check out. I cannot say enough in praise. It was truly a remarkable stay. Next time will stay for more than 1 night.
Very clean, very comfortable, very friendly staff! The best accommodation of all during our South Island trip. I highly recommend!! And the restaurant as well!
We had a 2 bedroom apartment.
The property was very modern and spacious and well maintained.
The staff were very friendly and obliging. Will definitely rebook this property on a return trip to Methven.

Our room in the lodge was right next to the kitchen vent and the cooking fat smells came into the room. Because rooms dont have air conditiong and being hot in summertime, we had t to either leave the window open and put up with fat smells or sray in a stiffling hit room with windows closed.
Definitely coming back, this is a very nice place to stay. Friendly and helpful staff. Apartments are spacious and in good shape.
Last stop with the ski bus, but also easy to drive to Mt. Hutt from here.
Amazing stay, can't fault. Everything we could have wanted in unit. Generous continental and cooked breakfast included. Great views and so quiet. Will be back.

Staff are great, helpful and friendly. The complimentary breakfast far exceeded my expectations. As I was travelling alone I stayed in the very understated basic room. In addition to being warm, clean and comfortable it is very tastefully decorated and a good size. The common lounge area is great for mingling with fellow snow enthusiasts and well stocked with tea, coffee a fridge and everything you need to enjoy your takeaway meal in comfort.
I would probably ditch the pool table in favour of additional lounge furniture as seating was a bit tight on occasion. All in all a fabulous property and a great place to stay. And then there is the restaurant 😊
Stayed here for two nights to visit Mt Hutt for some skiing and snowboarding. I got a nice room on the second floor with views of the mountain. It was comfortable and the showers were fine. Due to strong winds during my stay, there is also a constant woosh sound coming from the window which can be of some annoyance. While opening the window slightly helps, because the room is located near the chimney of the restaurant downstairs, you would get some smoke/exhaust from the it if you open the window.
I only had the Lamb Shank from the restaurant downstairs and it is often crowded during dinners. The Lamb Shank I had was excellent. The meat was juicy and fall off the bone tender. Breakfast is served in the same restaurant, which has the usual western style breakfast sides, scrambled eggs and bread with jam and butter.
Next to the restaurant there is also a lounge area for the guests. Parking is complimentary and the best lots can be found at the front of the lodge. The price of the lodge is reasonable as well. The location of the lodge is a bit of the walt from Methven town centre where the supermarkets and eateries are.
Very friendly welcome at check in and check out. Clean and comfortable 3 bedroom accomodation for our family of four with two teenagers. Good amenities within the unit, would have been great to have scissors for kitchen use, and tongs that weren’t broken. Spacious and warm. Stunning sunset views over Mt Hutt. Super handy to the thermal pools. Can highly recommend for your ski holiday.
We had a lovely stay.
The Restaurant food was great except my granddaughter had raw carrots and broccoli with wedges and Nuggets. The Breakfast was amazing both mornings.
