Long weekend away
Not sure how this property got a high rating?!
On arrival the whole property just looks run down and neglected.
Our unit was ok, but lacked basic things like wine glasses and teaspoons among other things. The shower was great and it was quiet ( we had the whole property to ourselves) but there wasn’t much else going for it! Sadly we won’t be staying again and wouldn’t recommend it to others either

Terrible. It was dirty and poorly maintained: - light bulbs not replaced - not enough cutlerly/bowls/plates etc - we had to buy from supermarket and the second hand store - bathroom had cobwebs and dust - the advertised pool table had broken pool cues so you couldn't play - pots and pans were dirty with grease - outdoor furniture was dirty and some of it was not safe to sit on - mattresses and pillows were hard and thin - there were massive rips and holes in some of the towels - no instructions were provided regarding gas and shower situation, so we all had cold showers for a couple of days So much potential to this lodge, so hopefully the property will get some love and care.

Location was about a 10min walk to the township , 1/3 rd of a toilet roll offered only for 3 ladies for 2 nights. Tried calling the number but no one picked up and no one replied to our left messages. Rubbish communication and would NOT stay again there are better options.

Property was quite rundown, fence missing panels, chipping paint and just seemed old. We had to retrieve the key from a lockbox on the fence that was positioned right behind the rubbish bins, all of which were overflowing with extra boxes of rubbish scattered around the bottom. I could only just reach the lockbox without moving the bins, the lockbox was also quite difficult to open. It was a very off putting start.
We then made our way inside and were immediately disappointed! Did not look at all like the photos, smaller than expected and just seemed neglected. One of the tap handles in the kitchen had come off, a cupboard door was broken and there was a glass of some substance left next to the microwave.
The beds were very haphazardly made, no care taken to make them presentable. The bathroom was also very small!
I attempted to sign into wifi only to get the message that the service wasn’t available due to an outstanding bill!
It was at this point we decided we couldn’t stay there, I had a baby and it just didn’t seem comfortable or safe.
I attempted to contact the number provided but had no answer. I have also messaged them and have still had no response. Very disappointed in this property!

DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY. Read the reviews below. Booked at least 6 months ahead. We were never given access code and owner is uncontactable. Yard is unsafe for children and full of rubbish. Had to find alternative accommodation for 15 people for three nights late in the afternoon - luckily not ski season.

We were a group of 15 golf women staying for two nights at over $600 per night for our group. We knew we were in a shared bunk room situation. Pros: Great space with lots of parking. We had the place to ourselves. Walking distance to the town centre. Clean bed linen and towels, even if you had to make up the beds yourselves. Dishwasher and good oven and fridges. Good shower pressure. Cons: No toilet paper at all. Not enough glasses or cutlery for our group despite being able to sleep more than 15. Not vacuumed or clean. Outside was disgusting with rubbish, long grass, weeds, unusable BBQ’s and overflowing rubbish bins. We had some trouble with getting in one time and phoned the owner multiple times, with no reply. Only two showers and two toilets, one with a non functioning lock. No firewood ready. It looked nothing like the photos on the websites. Many complained about the mattress comfort. They were just foam ones. Dishwasher still with previous guest’s dishes in it. They were washed though. Some dodgy looking electrical appliances and fittings. The general consensus among our group was that it was unloved and the owners were just collecting the money and didn’t worry about anything else. With only a little expense and work, it could be good for groups like ours, but we won’t be coming back and I’d suggest you avoid it. There are other options in Methven.

Don’t stay here. When we arrived, the place hadn’t been cleaned since the last people. Impossible to get hold of owners - eventually they returned my call (over two hours later). In meantime had to find alternate accom (Sat night in middle of ski season makes last minute accom diff to find and expensive). They agreed to refund the cost of the booking which I’d paid in full for. Still waiting on the refund … it’s been a week - despite numerous texts and phone calls….. never again.
