Great find! Eve left us some fresh eggs from the farm, and somehow the exact amount of firewood we needed for our stay. The beds were comfy and warm, and the house had everything we needed for our ten day visit!

Fantastic Methven holiday

Lovely house, convenient location, roaring fire, spacious bedrooms, good parking, big comfy lounge, friendly and very helpful owner - what more could you want for an amazing week-long family holiday away complete with grown-up kids and their partners? A quick and easy run to Mt Hutt in the mornings, an easy stop at Opuke hot pools on the way home, and 10 minutes walk to the pub when you can’t be bothered cooking 😊 Thank you Eve, we will definitely be back!
