Great basic chalets set in a stunning part of the country. Clean, tidy, warm and close to Methven, Mt Hutt and plenty of walking tracks.

Close to the snow
A few days skiing at Mount Hutt as were the other folk staying. Amazing value for money. Quiet, close enough to the snow and town. We might come back with the wider family and stay in the big unit

Liked: Check-in
Kitchen and dinning areas are good. Living room was clean enough but some sort of fly issues there. The smart TV wasn't working effectively. Other than that it suited us for what we expected.

Peaceful perfect getaway from the big smoke
Lovely property. Great value for a couple of nights getaway. Very peaceful, just sitting on the balcony listening to the birds sing, and looking at the stars at night.
The property was clean, except for the bed protector, when we left we pulled the sheets off bed ready to wash. Bed protector was disgusting. Mattress could probably do with replacing, getting quite old.
Great internet. Nice having Netflix for the evenings.
I would recommend this property as good value and pleasant surroundings.
