Bathed in sunshine with stunning mountain views, relax in luxury after a ski.

Our new lodge is bathed in sunshine with panoramic views of the Southern Alps and Mt Hutt.
Downstairs the Great room provides huge double storey windows with great lounge and dining area and a large kitchen with a huge granite bench.
Arrive back from a big day up at Mt Hutt ski field to a warm cozy fire and watch the snow groomers prepare the slopes for the next day or check out the hot pools at Opuke 5 mins down the road.

Upstairs you can relax with a game of pool while you check out the sunsetting over the Southern Alps or watch a movie in our rumpus room.
Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms and a fold out futon with plenty of space and a generous bathroom.
Downstairs are 2 queen bedrooms, each with their own ensuite.

Methven is 5 minutes drive down the road and has 2 small supermarkets, multiple takeaways, restaurants and bars as well as a movie theatre and the famous Opuke hot pools. Ashburton is a 20 minute drive and Christchurch city is 1 hour drive.
