    There was not a main central light in our room. In the evening you could hear easily people talking in the hallway and in the room next door.

    The staff were super supportive and kind. Having a bath was a bonus. The place was clean, and spacious and overall a very pleasant stay.

    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.

    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.

    The food wasn't amazing at the restaurant. Kids options could be a bit better too. Food took an hour to get to us, so make sure to ask what the wait time is before ordering!

    The place was great, the room was perfect for us and really great location

    Complimentary breakfast was basic but the pastries were nice addition. The cook (male) doing breakfast was friendly. Pool table and lounge area nice. Nice big rooms with a couch. Handy having restaurant onsite. Food was OK but one dessert was ? over heated in microwave. Close to town and pools. If going to watch movie at cinema ring to see it was on as got there and it wasn't showing. Dubliner restraunt was good food in town.

    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!

    Patron Brewing was promoted at the hotel, but none of their beers were available. Develop the grounds into a more interesting and more usable space.
