There is a separate tenanted apartment on the right rear of the property with its own driveway and entrance, however, the main house, spa and lawn are for your exclusive use. Spa & young children: The spa is unfenced and the log burner has no fire guard, so this home isn’t ideal for toddlers. Please supervise children closely. We service and balance the spa regularly.

Easy going, well traveled, bi lingual (English/Japanese) host. I know what its like to be a traveler, and I'm here to make your stay comfortable, enjoyable and as easy going as possible. I look forward to hosting people from all corners of the world and learning about different cultures and lifestyles.
You’ll be within easy walking distance of Methven’s cafés, restaurants, bars, supermarket and ski‑shuttle pickup points. The award‑winning Ōpuke Thermal Pools & Spa are about a 10‑minute walk away. It’s a short drive to Mt Hutt ski area, which boasts a 683 m vertical drop and 365 ha of terrain. Summer guests can explore mountain‑bike trails at Mt Hutt Bike Park, kayak and paddleboard the Ashburton Lakes, take a jet‑boat ride through the Rakaia Gorge, hike the Methven Walkway, Mt Somers Tracks or play 18 holes at Methven Golf Club. A car is the easiest way to get here and explore the area – it’s about a 1-hour drive from Christchurch with free off-street parking at the lodge. In ski season you can leave the driving to the locals: Methven Travel and Snowman Shuttles run daily buses between Methven and Mt Hutt with pick-ups around town, and the house is within walking distance of Methven’s cafés, supermarket, Ōpuke Pools and ski-bus pick-up points. You’ll have access to our AI Virtual Host 24/7 throughout your stay. We’re also available to assist with any questions via the messaging system on the platform you booked through. Once your booking is confirmed, you will be directed to fill out our check-in form where you will be required to complete an identity check by scanning your licence/passport before being provided with your arrival instructions. This provides security for the owners of the property so they are comfortable that you are who you say you are and you have the documents to prove it (similar to a hotel check-in procedure). This process is necessary due to the fact that we have a self-check-in system.
