Great communication with the property- we arrived late, informing them in advance we're coming late at night and they were kind enough to accept us. No fuss over check in or check out procedures, pretty laid back. Towels provided, heater in the room, fire place in the living room, free parking place, laundry, plenty of dishes and utensils in the kitchen. In general it felt as if you were visiting someone at their home rather than a hostel/hotel, which was nice. The owner was very kind to provide information about places to see on our way. Thank you!

The bed was too soft for my liking and the room was quite narrow for big suitcases. The light in the room was quite low and the window blinds were not working well.

It was quaint . Never before have I stayed in accomodation like this as an 80 year old woman and I enjoyed talking to the other guests and learning why they were in Methven.

Would stay again when I revisit my home town .A Methven girl through and through. 🥰

Good place with relaxed Hostel vibes, warm fire with a super cozy lounge. Close to bars, restaurants and shops. Management were helpful and welcoming.

Beds could be better, less soggy for the back.

Peter lit the fire each morning + evening. The fire in the morning was a sweet touch. Felt cosy + family like to be greeted by he and Benji each morning. The local chicken eggs were a treat. Chrome Cast on the tv was appreciated.

There was mould on the window sills & windows in our room. I know there was a dehumidifier in the room, but be a good idea to give them a wipe in between guests. Smelt moudly too.

I really like the backpackers life and the share room were really good there. Good location on the way to Christchurch.

Such a welcoming place. The owner Peter was super helpful. The lounge area with fire and boot dryer was great after a day up the mountain.

The staff were very nice and the stay was very cozy.

There weren't enough power outlets.

it was handy, friendly and clean.

just what we needed for our 1 night stay, like the quirkiness of the place

The beds were a bit soft We didnt meet the owner as he was out but another guest was helpful at the start with information etc. As the evening wore on he became a bit annoying as liked to hold the fort in the communal area

Quiet place with separate beds in the dorms rather than bunk beds, bathrooms are new and clean

The kitchen is quite small, not well equipped, and it could be cleaner. The lounge is quite old fashioned and was a bit cold when I was there. Only a couple of people when I was there so not very sociable.
