Redwood Lodge  

In the mountains just outside Methven, Redwood Lodge sits a short 1 km hop from the town centre. Minutes from Black Diamond Safaris and Methven Golf Club, and close to Rakaia Gorge and Awa Awa Rata Reserve. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, this ski guesthouse is a handy base for slopes, safaris and golf.

A cozy lodge with just eight guestrooms and a warm lobby fireplace. Rooms range from simple carpeted doubles to units with LCD/PLasma TVs and electric blankets. Expect communal touches — a shared kitchen, garden views and dedicated ski storage — for that no-fuss mountain vibe.

Standouts include garden outlooks, ski storage, an inviting fireplace, a barbeque area and babysitting/childcare (surcharge). On-site parking, laundry and tour/ticket assistance keep logistics simple. Wake up to crisp mountain mornings and step straight toward the slopes or the golf course.

Free Wi‑Fi in guest rooms and public areas, plus a computer station, luggage storage and laundry facilities for a smooth stay.

Self-cater in the shared communal kitchen or cook up an easy dinner at the outdoor BBQ area. Casual, flexible options ideal after a day on the mountain or exploring Methven.
