Where style meets serenity, and every detail is designed for unforgettable stays.

Welcome to Racecourse Retreat, Methven’s newest premium accommodation, an elegant, designer home crafted for guests who appreciate space, privacy, and a little indulgence. This immaculate retreat comfortably hosts up to six guests and offers something exceptionally rare: three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite. No sharing, no waiting, just effortless luxury. Perfect for ladies’ weekends, bridal parties preparing for the big day, or sophisticated après-ski getaways with friends.

Step inside and feel the boutique level comfort. The interiors are beautifully styled, blending warm textures with contemporary elegance. Ducted heating throughout and a cosy gas fireplace create a serene, welcoming atmosphere year-round. Enjoy mountain views from the living room, or start your day on the sun-kissed deck with coffee in hand and fresh alpine air.

The heart of the home features a fully equipped designer kitchen, complete with quality appliances, generous bench space, and both a central dining area and breakfast bar—ideal for shared platters, celebratory bubbles, or relaxed après-ski grazing boards.

Every detail has been curated with your comfort in mind, including premium hotel-quality linens, plush bedding, and thoughtful amenities to elevate your stay.

Winter guests will love the internal-access single garage, fitted with ski racks and a dedicated heat pump to dry gear overnight, an invaluable luxury after a day on Mt Hutt. A washer and dryer are also available, supporting longer stays or group trips.

The location is truly unbeatable, just a short stroll to the Opuke Thermal Pools, an easy walk to Ski Time for cocktails and a quality meal, and close to Methven’s popular cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops. Whether you’re here for the mountains, a special celebration, or a peaceful escape, everything is at your fingertips.
