Check in and out was lovely and the continental breakfast was simple but perfect. Put a disabled room which we keep getting put in the whole way through our trip around NZ. The reason these rooms aren’t ideal is the floor is always drenched and doesn’t dry. This wasn’t asked for.

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.
