Couldn’t fault this lovely little village. Friendly people, tidy place easy to access. Great range of places to explore and enjoy, or to just sit and watch the world go by. A highlight for our group (8 70+) was having coffee at Topp Country Cafe. Go there!

We were there for 2 nights in the summer.
We were there for 2 nights in the summer. Our full day was the best. Drove to the river for a look then parked at the race ground and did the piwakawaka and fairy walk. Had a picnic and then went to the tranquility pools.
Loved the pools and walk up bar. 2 hours was definately long enough and if you dont have kids then def do the adult only side.
All this could have easily been a day trip from Christchurch.
Dinner at the Green Parrot was amazing. We had the calamari and mussles and they were both amazing.
Would not stay at the methven resort again though. No pool and no entertainment or access to the shared space.

The backdrop of mt hutt is absolutely stunning. personally enjoyed the Rakia gorge, and clearwater lake with my children. there aren't much activities around for rainy days hence we drove down to Ausburton.

Methven is a very nice place to visit.
the Resort was a very handy facility but dated now. Restaurant & Bar in the hotel were poorly run. Places to eat out were very handy - walking distance. I would avoid booking with booking.com. The rack rate was more than 1/3 cheaper. Felt ripped off. I booked two further studio rooms for family on the spot and they were $110 per night

Methven is a nice little town to stay for a week if you're skiing, snowboarding or mountain biking in the area. There's 3 pubs and a few restaurants and takeaways, plus a couple of supermarkets. Closest location to Mt Hutt. Just over an hour from Christchurch.

So much to do in this delightful wee town.
So much to do in this delightful wee town. Walks along the canal or up the mountain, cutest movie theatre, lovely meals in town - especially at Ski time, and the hotpools were quite exceptional for quality and views.
Excellent choice, Rooms are not in front of the road as some other Methven's Motel have, but is a little in the background which means very quiet place. VERY Large, confortable room with absolutely everything you need. A kitchen with a door therefore no odor if you cook ;-), everything for cooking. A very large bathroom with a separate big shower very good. Also absolutely no noise from the rooms next. Good welcoming. Very good wifi.
We recommand.
Everything we liked about this house, the name says it all realy. After we left we said this is probably one of the most feeling like home accomodation we have stayed at. We had our wee twin babies with us. Sam was very helpful, set up 2 portacots for us in the kids room and also had the house warm for us on arrival. Definitely would recommend this for a family wanting to stay in methven. We will be back for sure. Thanks for having us 🙂
We had our own breakfast with us, the kitchen offered two hot plates along with the microwave a a nice fridge, place open shelving to store our dry foods. The whole unit was totally immaculate. The owners were friendly. The motel is a short walk to the new opuke spa pools which we recommend as a couple to visit in the evening as the sun is going down, beautiful.
We came down and all stayed at the resort for an 18th birthday party, we had a fabulous stay and couldn't fault anything. We were nothing but a head ache for the staff and especially Suzie with the usual drama of organising 40.people but she has the patience of a Saint and just sorted everything. Thanks Methven Resort, we will be back😊
Great location right in the middle of Methven and a very close walk to many of the shops and cafes. It was also great to be so close to the i-Hub, where we got picked up and dropped off by the bus to Mt Hutt. The facilities like the kitchen and bathroom were nice and clean enough. Check-in and check-out was also very easy.
Excellent self contained farm accommodation. Has all the facilities required for our ski holiday stay. Short drive to Methven for supplies and eateries & close to Mt Hutt for skiing. Is also next to the Methven walkway which is useful if the weather isn't good up the mountain.
The location was great, the apartment was warm, clean and serviceable.
We will book again next time we are staying in Methven
Great secondhand shopping in Methven and Mayfield. The other highlight was the Opuke hot pools. Definitely worth a visit
Very good location, walking distance to bars, cafes, restaurants and best off all, close to Opuke Thermal Pools. Amazing hosts, thank you Lesley & Warren you are wonderful, friendly hosts. Thanks for a fantastic stay at your motel
Nicely located in the centre of Methven. I could hear the pub music in my room but luckily they turned the music off around 9.30-10pm. It came in handy to have a sink and mirror in the bedroom. Everything was clean.
