Entire lodge was spotless and everything was there we needed.
Only issue was the noise. And probably this was due to other guests not being considerate.
Our bedroom was below TV room. Noise from TV. People dropping things and talking was easily heard. The worse thing was banging doors when guest went in and out. One guest put an object in door entrance to keep door from closing and chatted on mobile ph. It was very noisy when guests opened or closed bedroom doors and lodge entrance doors. Maybe a notice to close doors quietly with handles might help.
The noise was the only thing that was not right. Receptionist very welcoming on arrival.

I was disappointed in my room. To pay the same price as a motel or very similar to get a room for at least 2 with an ensuite and find I was put into such a small room with an ensuite that you can hardly turn around in was totally disappointing. To top things off when I went to have a wash in the morning there was no hot water.

The staff were very friendly & replied promptly when I asked to extend stay. The price was reasonable. The kitchen was well equiped. Especially liked the fire place in the kitchen. Everything was clean from our room to the kitchen. I would prefer a lighter duvet though my daughter liked the weighted duvet - so that's personal preference. The only concern was being able to hear people in the next room. I could hear snoring when I used the bathroom but at least couldn't hear this when we shut the bathroom door. Though in the morning it was quite noisy. Didn't really bother me as we were getting up anyway.

Perhaps a small TV in the en suite room for older guests that couldn't manage the stairs to the TV lounge. Tea and coffee provided would be good. At the price, which was similar to a motel, Tea and Coffee facilities are usually included.

Great place!

The location was great, you can walk to most of the cafes and bars in Methven so no need to drive once you get here.
The bed was very comfortable with great pillows! I’ll be staying here again.

Stayed at Snow Denn Lodge and felt like part of the family within 1 hour of checking in.

The room was nice and warm and the shared shower facilities are clean and comfortable.

Brilliant staff, great drying room for skis and use of the guest laundry was extremely helpful.

The lodge provided a convenient and comfortable base for our trip. The location is ideal - it's an easy walk to the supermarket, restaurants, and the shuttle bus pickup for Mt Hutt skiing.
The lodge itself is quiet and relaxed. Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable.
