Hotel a Whitemans Valley

“Lovely quiet setting”

“Its convenient for me to visit family. Pity the roo.service was not operating for dinner.”

“No wall oven or extractor fan in kitchen which limited cooking options/made it a bit difficult to cook - advertised as full kitchen so was expecting this but also should have looked at photo. Some road noise at night as right next to road. Very warm and cosy.”

“About 7 mins from town. The motel is very close to NZCIS, good for a short stay. Has all the basic amenities eg cutlery, microwave (no stove), kettle, toaster, fridge.

It doesn't have a heat pump but there is a room wall/room heater and an electric fan provided. The twin rooms were located near the main road so it...

“Freely hosts, knowledgeable about the area and historical facts. Very helpfull, would happily stay there again.”

“Great place to stay in Methven handy to the mountain. Rooms were well set up with good clothes drying rails. Heater did the trick! Bed linen clean and fresh. Two nights was enough on the mattress. Older style shower over bath but water hot. Very noisy from other guests but to be expected with early morning starts for the mountain.
