Avery old motel very few basic facilities

Pros: Very little.
Cons: As mentioned avove.
Location: Skiing.
No heater in the bathroom....this is in Methven where it gets cold...9 degrees during our stay, have to open window! No plug point in bathroom apart from shaver plug, no plug points in bedrooms apart from behind the bed so impossible to get at. Water pressure in shower was Terrible. Toilet door hard to open. No rubbish bins in bedrooms or bathroom. Quite an expensive unit and asked to do our dishes when we left. Would not recommend.

Not sure where to start with this one.. $125 for a fully self contained unit with new kitchens, furniture, curtains & carpets is extremely good value!! The plugs in the bedroom are behind the bed with 4 way powerboards each side to ensure guests have plenty of sockets for all their gadgets! The toilet door is a saloon door which pushes both ways ?? There are rubbish bins in the kitchen & bathrooms, one of which could be moved if this suited your needs better. I have never & will never ask guests to do their dishes but I do have a 'Thankyou for doing your dishes' sign under the dishcloth & detergent in the kitchen cupboard, because I genuinely do appreciate guests leaving the room in a tidy manner! This is a clear case of 'Champagne taste on a beer budget.'

Ski trip with family

Pros: Clean, good size rooms and good value. away from centre of town but just a short walk, lovely grounds
Location: wonderful skiing at Mount Hutt , unbelievable scenery (that's Sth NZ for you)
Stayed with my 3 adult messy children in single room and still felt comfortable. the owners are lovely and really making an effort. It is not the latest design in rooms but very very clean and well appointed to prepare lunches for the mountain or cook a meal. the grounds are lovely and we were able to walk into town to test out the local pubs and restaurants. Excellent value, definitely recommend it

Lovely friendly motel

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff. Clean, comfortable accommodation. Excellent place to stay.
Cons: Some better insulation around the door would save on heating bills and make things a little cosier!
Location: Possibly the closest motel to Mt Hutt? Very convenient anyway.
Very friendly and comfortable place. Hosts were very helpful (DVD didn't work and they sorted it very quickly). Clean and tidy and very convenient for Mt Hutt (on the road into Methven from Mt Hutt - first motel you come to!). Outside ski racks are very cute! Kids had fun playing tennis on the grass.
