Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Methven

The place is just as described - we were staying as a family of 4 and the place was twice as big as we needed …. Great place to access mt Hutt ski field. Mike was a great host !

What a hidden gem this property is! We immediately felt right at home. Beautifully appointed with all listed amenities. The beds were so comfortable and everything was super clean and tidy. Lovely and quiet and the surrounding garden is beautiful. Wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommended.

Thank you Creighton and Shannon for a memorable stay in your beautiful home. My family and I enjoyed our visit to Christchurch and the house was perfect for our stay. The house itself had all amenities you could ask for, modern and spacious, quiet location and easy to access.

The house is beautiful, very clean, and super comfortable. It’s well-equipped with everything we needed. A fantastic place to stay!

My husband and i were on our honeymoon and felt that John's house was the perfect stay for some quiet and privacy nestled in Castle Hill. We absolutely adored our drives to and fro Castle Hill and Christchurch as the views were just fantastic. The house was super cozy. Waking up and having coffee by the balcony watching the mountains and listening to birds chirping was the perfect way to start our mornings. At night, we spent hours sitting by the fireplace. Truly a blissful experience and I highly recommend it to couples or even families who want some serenity!

A beautiful place, we loved our stay there. Ali was lovely and we had the most amazing supplies in the fridge (and one of Ali’s home baked cakes!) on our arrival. We felt at home straight away. Would definitely like to stay there next time I’m over visiting my son. Loved it. Thank you Ali.

we had a lovely stay here, eve was a very friendly and responsive host, the house was excellent, very clean and beds really comfy. A great section for kids, fully fenced.

Great cottage, perfect for exploring the Ashburton Lakes area. Loved the fire.

Great house to rent for a big group, perfect for us. Communication brilliant, wonderful to arrive with the fire going. House was great, had everything we needed. Definitely recommend it to others. Thank you Chris and Julie

Absolutely loved our stay. Such beautiful scenery and comfortable stay. Absolutely recommend checking this place out!

We have never stayed somewhere as incredible. We were nervous being on someone’s property but Steve is absolutely amazing. Super kind and left us to our own devices after checking in. The fireplace was absolutely worth every penny. The bed was beyond cozy (especially with the heated blanket). The luxury features really elevated the space. The bathroom floor is heated along with a heated towel rail. The shower and bath are even more stunning in person and the vibe in the backyard is phenomenal. He even has a parking space right up to your gate so parking is super simple. We will most definitely be back here! This is where we will aim to stay anytime we visit in ski season seeing as Methven is only a 30ish minute drive (a stunning drive at that). The lights also, so fancy and smooth. No glaring lights early in the morning. It allows for a nice slow start to the morning. And the back veranda also has an awning which meant that we could chill back there without the morning sun! Thankyou

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The space was immaculately clean and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. Perfect location with epic views across to Mt Hutt. Would definitely book again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

second time staying, fantastic place in a fantastic spot. will be back for sure, thanks Brittany

Amazingly peaceful location with a great view towards the mountains! Lovely for a retreat.
