This was such a tidy, clean and very comfy place to stay. The hosts were lovely and so kind. The bed downstairs was the best bed I've ever slept in! The shower was amazing and sooooo clean! Great location. Looking forward to our next stay here.

“Excellent little holiday chalet.”
Excellent location in the middle of Methven, handy to supermarket and next door to the Blue and Brown pubs - we ate in the Brown pub. Double height living space had a nice feel. Small kitchen was well equipped - had everything we needed. Off street parking was handy a couple of times but access is a little tight. Parking on the street was no bother too. Nice drive up the mountain. Both double rooms were excellent. Owner was responsive and helpful.

“Great Methven Stay, family friendly location with all the necessities; makes for a relaxing trip!”
Modern and nicely decorated, very comfortable, board games for the kids & magazines. Nice outdoor space, which gets great sun - would be lovely in summer. Great Location—30-second walk to the pub! But still quiet and private. Plenty of on-street parking, as well as two parking spaces in the driveway. Lovely neighbourhood—quick 2-minute walk to the playground and centre of town—ideal. Opuke Hot Pools are a must-visit, 15-minute walk or 2-minute drive from the chalet!

Location great, the house was awesome for our family of five, and had a fantastic amount of cooking equipment. Nice outdoor area with BBQ and having two toilets was great. We really enjoyed the property.
