Spacious room. Cleaness. Ease of checking in after hours. Quiet rural setting on the outskirts of town, yet a very easy and short walk to centre of Methven. Interesting architectural elements inside and out. Nice views from the breakfast lounge. Very friendly day staff work in this hotel. Easy to walk to many lovely pubs in Methven from the hotel Discovered a charming fairy walk by the racecourse. The hot mineral water spa complex in Methven is a relaxing pleasure to enjoy. Liked that it's not overcrowded due to their booking schedules and observed occupancy limits . Some unusual curiosity shops and cafes in town Came across many helpful and welcoming business owners in this town, including the staff at the hotel. Late Summer season has already an off season vibe but enjoyed that the town was not run over. Good idea to have historic plaques with a bit of history on many of the buildings and their original purpose when newly built.

Fittings in room feel somewhat cheap, esp the kitchenette area, but on the plus side all was very clean. Can hear people talking from a room above us. Luckily that was in the morning and not at night. Seems as if the resort development was halted prematurely, so no pool yet or it was filled in. Unfortunately not the most inspiring view to the side parking lot and kegs from the restaurant from our room, but that was a same day reservation when we booked. It's possible that all better positioned rooms were already taken.

Everything was perfect! Richard was an awesome host - opened the bar and lit the fire so our friends and ourselves could enjoy pre-pool drinks, even going as far to drop us off and pick us up. Rooms were a great size, bed comfortable - had everything a guest would need, even upgraded our friends so they could stay a couple of doors down. Dinner was fabulous, as was the continental breakfast, the staff were top notch and friendly. The hotel is tired in places however it can clearly be seen it is being upgraded, but this doesn't impact one's stay. Thanks so much Richard and team for a fabulous stay - we will definitely be back.

Nothing not to like.

Great location, good convenient breakfast, heater available in room for cold weather, lots of parking. The Indian guy taking care of breakfast was amazing, alone took care of everything and politely greeted everyone and was always checking on everyone. He was simply the best customer service we received on our trip.

As it’s old, there is no sound proof. It just took one stupid family to come back at 10:30pm to ruin the sleep for the whole floor. Not the hotels fault though if people do not have brains themselves.

Perfect weekend ski retreat, warm welcome at reception on arrival . Spacious third floor studio room and a bath. We had a roast meal in the restaurant which had couches.by the fire and later had skiers winding down after an epic day on 83cm fresh snow. I loved the room plenty of space and warm . Wandering down town to Opuke hot spring in the evening. Complementary breakfast offered from 7.15am makes it good value for luxury feel.plenty of free parking , I caught a bus from door to Mt Hutt.

Bed was good but I was restless. Watch your head on edges of ceiling .by bed . The bar / restaurant is really big and a pretty cool design with different seating areas and I imagine it as the event venue it is , imagined the space as a big wedding reception with a band, wrap around internal balcony overlooking a generous dance floor. Could easily hold 100+ people - so it was warm but not ‘ intimate cosy’ space due to size. It does have couches by the fire.

Location is great short walk to town, room is spacious and adequate for 3 guests, beds are comfortable with quality linen, bathroom well appointed and immaculately clean, continental breakfast was good. for the room rate it was overall good value for money.

The property is a bit lack lustre with no facilities other than the room which is practical but dated and can use some modern touches, as could the rest of the hotel. Using "Resort" in its title is a tad misleading but the room rate should suggest and assist with ones expectations.

The Staff here are what made our stay so enjoyable. They were all friendly, approachable and accommodating. The Resort was busy with a conference but they still took the time to say hello and have a chat. They knew the area and were able to provide advice or suggestions of things to do and see. The food was very nice!

After 3 nights the single room (Queen and 2 single beds), it did start to feel a little small but as we were out and about during the day and part of the evenings the space was ok.

It’s a very affordable option between some popular places. We were so fortunate to find something like this last minute. During January, the town felt like a ghost town but we used this as our base to enjoy Lake Tekapo for a day and then head up through Arthur’s Pass the next day. Breakfast and laundry facilities were an added bonus. There are a few restaurants in town and beds were comfortable, plus the room had a heater, so all of our needs were met!

The beds were comfy. The food at the restaurant was excellent. The included breakfast was nice, but nothing fancy. We were able to walk into town to most restaurants and services. We had access to the drying room for our gear and the laundry to save some time when we went home.

There was a fair amount of noise from the hallways and neighbouring rooms. It didn't last into the night, but we were going trying to get to bed early to be up for skiing in the morning.

We were so impressed by our experience with Methven Resort. The staff were awesome, we had dinner at the restaurant and everything was so delicious, there was a surprise continental breakfast included, our beds were comfy, the room was nice & clean, the value for money was exceptional, there were toys & activities that our young children enjoyed, and the location was perfect for access to Mt Hutt ski field. A great stay that we would highly recommend!

Room was basic, all you need, save the $$ for your adventures. Staff were all lovely, room was clean and had the deepest bath i've ever had. Continental breakfast was included and just perfect.

My room was close to the main door access to all room's, lots of traffic. Also, there was a water cooler on offer just outside my room, which was a lovely touch but kinda noisy through the night.
