An inside look at Big Tree Lodge Methven

We run an all inclusive hostel. There are no extra charges for towels, unlimited internet or washing machine use, parking or tea and coffee. Transport to the ski field is from our gate with local operators. We have just undergone major renovations. All main windows have been replaced with double glazed thermal broken aluminum windows with Rimu reveals. The bedroom and hallway ceilings have been lined in wood-grain paneling with unique Rimu cornice. This keeps to the original character of the building making our Hostel a very warm and inviting place to stay. Our showers are modern with new shower domes fitted and plenty of hot water boosted by our wetback in the large log burner in our cozy lounge which also heats 4 bedrooms via a ducted heat transfer system. There is a full size fridge and a fridge-freezer in our pantry which is off the kitchen to keep the food storage area cooler. If you are a smoker we provide an outdoor under cover area for you to relax in while you indulge your yourself.
