Very Good

Warm welcome by staff, quick checkin with all information required clearly advised.
Room preheated and spacious, leading to a good nights sleep.
Good selection of teas for a cuppa and the next morning a good continental breakfast to start the day.
What a fantastic place to stay. Staff were lovely, super convenient and the free continental breakfast is great. Will stay there every time we're in Methven. Thanks, guys!
Had a great stay - staff were immediately very friendly & helpful with requests
Room was clean, tidy & quiet
Breakfast was great & included which was excellent value
Would highly recommend & stay again
Perfect spot for a stopover before hitting Arthur’s pass from Dunedin. Plenty good eating options within walking distance. Good value for money, continental breakfast included too
We enjoyed our stay here. The staff at the pub were very helpful in providing options for our future travels. The room was clean and comfortable. Very nice views to go with the free continental breakfast on offer.
From the four hotels we stayed during our short trip to NZ, this provided us by far with the best experience. Proximity to the Mt Hutt ski area was key, but the best part was the attention and assistance provided numerous times for different reasons - nothing was too much trouble. The food from the restaurant was also superb - delicious, generous, and well presented. Staff was always smiling, pleasant, and ready to assist wherever possible - so helpful especially when travelling with children. Do yourself a favour and stay at the Methven Resort if you are in the area. We will definitely be back.
