Character lodge: This is a well-loved ski lodge, comfy but not newly renovated – think relaxed and cosy rather than hotel-perfect.

There is a separate tenanted apartment on the right rear of the property with its own driveway and entrance, however, the main house, spa and lawn are for your exclusive use. Spa & young children: The spa is unfenced and the log burner has no fire guard, so this home isn’t ideal for toddlers. Please supervise children closely. We service and balance the spa regularly.

Heating & hot water: Log burner in the living area, heaters in all bedrooms. Water heating is via gas. Self-Catering Property: Well-equipped kitchen with starter supplies (dishwasher tabs, rubbish bags, cloths). As this is a self-catering property, please bring extra or source extra supplies locally. No BBQ at present. Rubbish & recycling: Bins can fill quickly with large groups. Please take excess recyclables\` to the free Methven Recycling Drop-off Facility. Log burner: You’ll need to light and tend the fire safely yourself, and it heats the house quickly. No pets; no smoking or vaping. Quiet hours: 10 pm – 7 am. A car is the easiest way to get here and explore the area – it’s about a 1-hour drive from Christchurch with free off-street parking at the lodge. In ski season you can leave the driving to the locals: Methven Travel and Snowman Shuttles run daily buses between Methven and Mt Hutt with pick-ups around town, and the house is within walking distance of Methven’s cafés, supermarket, Ōpuke Pools and ski-bus pick-up points.
