I was pleasantly surprised by this property as I initially didn't expect all that much based on the description and location of the property. I stayed in a single room and the room was clean, well-lit and spacious with a window offering a view of the square across the street. The common areas were all tidily organised and clean, and the balcony adjoining onto the sitting room was a particularly nice touch for having breakfast on, or having a drink in the evening when I was looking for some quiet time and space. There was car parking around the back of the pub which was spacious, the wifi was fast, the showers were clean and had good water pressure, and the location of the pub in the middle of town was outstanding. Overall it was a comfortable and reasonably-priced place to stay.

Friendly staff. I was surprised how spacious the room was. It had a hand basin. Towel (big fluffy white towel), soap and face cloth provided free. Bed was really comfortable. Seemed safe. It has a separate shared lounge area, kitchen (fridge, toaster, jug, microwave) and an outdoor upstairs patio. Had a number of shared toilet and shower options which were clean. Methven is pretty tiny. Pub is only about 2 blocks from the Four Square and Super Value and there is a good burger/pizza place less than a block away. The pub also has a restaurant. Methven is about 13min drive from Rakaia Gorge Walkway (which has beautiful bright blue water)-it is worth making a photo stop there if you can.

We chose the location because we were spending the afternoon at the Opuke Thermal Pools, and didn't want to drive after hours relaxing there. Having the possibility to have dinner and drinks at the same place was a bonus! And actually the dinner looked so good that we clasped to the waitress when she appeared with our plates. We also appreciated that there were bath towels.

We loved the quirkiness of staying in an old NZ pub hotel. The decor and decorating was exceptional and very well done. We loved sitting on the balcony and watching the people, traffic and tractors go by. A truly incredible experience.

Melanie

What a great place in budget. Only issue is the noise from the pub but noise cancelling ear buds did the job. And the beds are too soft. Oh and while you're there their BBQ Beef burger is a must. The best I have had
