Underwhelming

I was looking forward to a girls weekend away. Unfortunately the accommodation was a total let down. Out dated. The water out of the water cooler tasted like mold. I was told my room would be ready by 1.00 but it wasn't i wasnt so bothered. But the second lady i talked to had a sarcastic attitude un helpful manner. ( really makes a difference if you a greeted with a joyful reception) Cleaning staff were fantastic and more helpful than the front desk. Tv was minimal. Didn't bother with the free breakfast could leave fast enough to be fair. Probably wont come back.

Just a bit shabby for the money. Few power outlets in the cramped room. One didn’t work. Tea and coffee sachets did not get re stocked. I just got the feeling nobody cares. I felt sorry for them as I left. It was pricey too. I found a better option nearby.

We only stayed one night and found our room adequate for this. The bed was comfortable but only having 3 pillows between 2 of us was a bit mean, the added benefit of having a bath was great for me. The shower was a bit weak but ok.The breakfast was nice but not the coffee !,The location was great for a visit to the hot pools and a walk into town. Overall we would recommend Methven Resort.
