Porters Ski Area hotel guide. Independent hotel in Porters Ski Area, Canterbury

"My wife and I stayed 2 nights and was very satisfied. We didn’t make use of the amenities so I am not able to comment on them. The term “Resort” is a little misleading however as for hotel accommodation, it is good. While a little dated, the Methven Resort has all that is needed for a comfortable stay. Our room was spacious, bed comfortable and bathroom was clean. The hotel is located a short 5 minute walk into the town centre. It has ample parking. We were located on the ground floor and could see the mountains from our room window over the rear car park. Overall, it was clean and tidy. I would stay at the Methven Resort again."

"Everything was very very good staff awesome food amazing "

"Meggy, fresh. I'm room cooking facilities, good"

"Incredible dinner and breakfast. Loved all silver service and elegant feel to the stay"

"This hotel is in a prime location in Arthurs Pass National park near many trailheads as well as the village. Room was large and clean, with super view on the balcony. Our only complaint was lack of a microwave and signs saying that cooking in room is not allowed, and minimal kitchen dishes etc even though the room was advertised as having a kitchenette. There is a good hotel restaurant and they obviously want you to eat there. The breakfast buffet is an average continental breakfast. "

"Lovely motel. It's just a shame we couldn't get the internet to work "

"We stayed 1 night, we were passing through (off season). Few guests, all quiet, morning breakfast alright, price was fair. Shower and restrooms adequate with soap and plenty of hot water, towels provided in good condition. The only issue i had was that this lodge was very far from the road, up a gravel road with no guard rails at all. Either it was not disclosed or i didnt find it on the website. Very scary getting up to the lodge after sunset, in the dark, dodging rabbits left and right."

"The checking in was frustrating we arrive at one o’clock now one in office so came back at 2 o’clock now one there so phoned told she won’t be far. Half an hour later 4 customer waiting the lady finally arrived. Not a good look. There was 2 of us stay for 3 nights. Only one lot of toiletries in the bathroom and on the second day asked for more toilet paper. Sorry you have to pay for more. These could have been a small cost to the Resort for people who are stay more than one night. Also the rooms weren’t serviced while we stayed. "

"Yes"
