Fantastic Methven holiday

Lovely house, convenient location, roaring fire, spacious bedrooms, good parking, big comfy lounge, friendly and very helpful owner - what more could you want for an amazing week-long family holiday away complete with grown-up kids and their partners? A quick and easy run to Mt Hutt in the mornings, an easy stop at Opuke hot pools on the way home, and 10 minutes walk to the pub when you can’t be bothered cooking 😊 Thank you Eve, we will definitely be back!
