“My impression of Methven Resort is that it's an unpretentious place to land while exploring the Southern Alps. Close to the ski runs and within walking distance of the town center, the hotel seems focused on functionality and value, with some rooms showing their age. I think it's a solid choice for families and groups looking for a basecamp rather than a luxury retreat, particularly given the available conference facilities and family-friendly amenities.”
