  Really Nice Apartment Sort of Like Being at Home

  Value for $$. Homey and the TV is sharp, showers hot, has a stove, beds great, spacious, internet works really well. Kitchen fully equipped. Has Washing machine too. Liked the homey touches and the furniture was comfortable.

  Don't expect too much.

  This was our first stay at a self contained apartment in NZ and it was where we experienced the least level of satisfaction and service. Firstly the apartment does not have an office onsite and we didn't realise receive any instruction as to how to access the apartment. When we tried to call the owner, get phone was diverted to voicemail. It was at least half an hour before we heard back. Other disappointments included, bike as mentioned on website was not in usable condition, only 3 towels given for 4 people, dining area is not usable due to lack of heating, had to get our own toilet rolls, not a scheduled stop for ski shuttle, refused access to games room in the lodge when we needed entertainment for the kids on one rainy day, All other self contained unit we stayed in after pinedale, included pick up and drop off from our coaches' stops and not once did we need to self supply any essential items. A couple of pluses are there is a washing machine and dishwasher in the apartment.

  Comfortable apartment but you have to clean before departure

  We spent a comfortable two nights in the Pinedale apartment. Note that you are expected to clean the apartment before leaving or will be charged extra. There is a well equipped kitchen, clothes washing facilities and a clothes line in a shed behind the apartment. Beds are comfortable - a double in the bedroom and two singles in the lounge. The big sofa was a little deep and soft for my liking. The kitchen table is in a very small room at the entrance so not a lot of space for dining. This is compensated for by outdoor furniture on the small veranda behind the apartment - okay for summer but probably not for winter. Short walk into the centre of Methven with supermarket, bars and cafes. Helpful hosts just a phone call away; a lock box makes getting the key and dropping it off nice and easy.

  Great little apartment!

  We stayed with 4 adults on a boating trip for a long wk end. The apartment was perfect for our needs. Had everything in kitchen provided. Lounge had plenty of games/ movies/ books, and a very comfy big couch, made me wish I could stay longer to use them all. Beds were clean and comfortable. Shower had excellent pressure and soaps provided were great! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

  No key left and no one answers the phone

  No sure how long it's under new management for as I didn't see anyone else have this issue in the previous reviews so could be due to new management or a once off event. We booked and got an email saying we could call them to be welcomed or let ourselves in (we were given a code to unlock the key box on the fence). When we got there the reception was closed so we went to the key box and unlocked it but it was empty!! We called but no answer. We ended up calling the booking provider who spent over an hour trying to contact them with all their numbers but they also could not get through to anyone. We ended up getting moved to a different lodge by the booking provider but it was a big waste of time and we were travelling with a 3 year old who was tired and hungry so it was a rough few hours until we got rebooked elsewhere. Worst part is they still (5 days later) have never called or emailed us back to explain therefore warning others to be careful as we could have booked it on our first night when we got there at 130am then it would have been much worse.
