PhilomenaRating, 5 stars5 months ago

We had a wonderful stay in a very comfortable home. The home is spacious and very well equipped. With the unseasonable weather during most of our stay we were very grateful for the efficient heating and, on 2 occasions, the wood burner. Sam communicated very well and on occasions we required assistance, she was very responsive. We would be very happy to stay in this home again and will certainly recommend it to others.

Sweet Methven Getaway - 2-Bedroom Apartment

Mark And ElizabethRating, 5 stars130 months ago

What a fantastic place to stay! It was a last minute trip for my girlfriends birthday, she decided she wanted to try skiing! Karyn & Will were able to accommodate us very last minute, their house was easy to find and the room we stayed in was brilliant. It was warm, the bed was comfy and there was plenty of storage. The Ensuite was lovely and it was great after a hard days skiing to be able to relax the muscles in a bath (a luxury since we've been travelling round NZ)! Karyn & Will are super friendly and helpful, which made our stay super easy when planning the skiing activities. Rosie the kitten is crazy and very cute, the eggs from the hens were delicious and Will's home brew is to die for! We had a great weekend and felt like part of the family. We met two great hosts and came away as great friends. Would totally recommend staying here! We both can't wait to go back to Methven.

Country Getaway

BillRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had a great night's stay. very clean & comfortable studio unit. The property is rural but easy to find on GPS and not far from SH1. Gerard & Trish have created a wonderful garden, including native bush, which Gerard showed us around. Nice continental breakfast was also provided, with some of their own produce. Even a couple of Easter eggs as we were there Easter Sunday. Highly recommend.
