Abouslty disgusting place to stay, mould and Mildew every where. The place stinks so bad. Someone turned up while we were there (no reception) and ask if they should stay and my answer was no. Contacted for a refund or reimbursement and was told 24 hours and still no reply. Dust for miles, if you asthma, stay well away. Mens toilets were out of service and we couldnt access the lounge or the spa. The sauna smelt like someone died in there. The floors were so dirty that flannel was black. There was no milk and no toilet paper available. There was also no soap! We were the only people there, despite the website saying nearly sold out Will continue to post everywhere until the matter is settled. Wouldn't recommend at all. Would love to post the photos I have kept and will post on other sites. Seems like HEALTH AND SAFETY need to be contacted.

We stayed in the campground after looking at the photos on the website. The place promises a spa and sauna, no mention on the website of it costing anything. When we checked in we were told it was $20 for 20 minutes to use both and we had to make a booking. We went to relax in the "comfortable lounge with roaring wood burner," to be told it was for lodge guests only. There is no mention of this on the website. We were directed to a filthy, old, smelly lounge instead, which looked nothing like the photos. When we approached the staff member about this, she was abrupt and argumentative, saying the lodge was full (the lounge was empty.) The kitchen and showers were also filthy. I would not recommend staying here.

Very dirty, from the cabins to the bathrooms to the kitchen. Nothing was cleaned over the 2 nights 3 days we were there. Found host extremely abrupt and not much help. Noisy pub down the road with late night music. Place was disgusting - will not stay here again

Stayed at the van park,toilets were filthy & no toilet paper. Cooked a meal in the kitchen had to clean up before we cooked. Bin overflowing, kitchen floor desperately needed a sweep. $1.00 a hot shower put in a dollar no shower, went to reception to complain, no manager, rang managers number no answer, very surprised it has so many good reviews bit of a dump really.

Booked for the Cabins, which is in the Campground. A completely separated part of their "Lodge & Apartments". THIS IS NOT CLARIFIED IN THEIR WEBSITE. Showers are NOT included. Washers dryers NOT included. And communal amenities are none of those shown in pictures. "Access to the lounge" is a completely different one than advertised (no pictures displayed).

Comfortable, clean accommodation, friendly and helpful staff and a great lounge facility. Easy walking distance to the township and Opuke Spa Pools (a MUST to visit). Methven is a cute and quirky town with fantastic views of the mountains, great eateries and a safe, fun vibe. A trip to the mountains to ski or snowboard is very easy to organise for a reasonable price.

The accommodation was adequate but expensive for what was provided. The breakfast only had weetbix and cornflakes and basic bread for toast with limited spread options (no marmalade). Little things like only one teaspoon in the room and no PowerPoint near a mirror so it makes it difficult to dry your hair. The wall sockets were vertical type fixed horizontally, that makes my wonder if they were fitted by someone who wasn’t an electrician.
