Family Friendly 3-Bedroom

Nestled in the heart of Mid Canterbury, Methven is a haven for year-round adventure. Whether you’re hitting the slopes at Mt Hutt, soaking in the Ōpuke Thermal Pools, exploring local bike trails or taking the kids to one of the many nearby playgrounds and family-friendly cafes, Methven offers something for everyone. Its welcoming, down-to-earth vibe makes it the perfect place for families to slow down and enjoy the simple things.

This much-loved three-bedroom brick home is the kind of place that holds generations of memories – a modest, no-fuss Kiwi Bach where comfort and togetherness take centre stage. It’s been a treasured getaway for one family and is now ready to welcome yours.

Inside, you’ll find an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area designed for connection and relaxation. The kitchen is simple and functional – no dishwasher here, just a chance to enjoy the rhythm of Bach life. The log burner keeps the home cosy during Methven’s crisp winters, so guests should be familiar with New Zealand conditions and lighting a fire. The bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements: one with a king bed and cot, one with twin singles, and one with a king single and trundler bed – just right for families or small groups.

There’s ample space for parking onsite, plus storage for skis and boots after a day on the mountain. The home is well set up for children, with high chairs, board games and thoughtful touches that make travelling with little ones easier.

This isn’t a luxury retreat – and that’s exactly why people love it. It’s a real Kiwi Bach: unpretentious, cosy, and made for making memories. If you’re looking for an affordable, family-friendly base for your Methven adventures, you’ve just found it.

One bedroom, the garage and a store cupboard are not accessible for guest use - these rooms are locked off.
