Pinedale Lodge and Apartment

Pinedale Lodge & Apartment is right in the heart of Methven. Two separate dwellings on the same property catering for different sized groups who want to self-cater. We were the first accommodation provider that opened in Methven and still going strong. We welcome children and try to be environmentally friendly. We have plenty of off-street and on-street parking and a bicycle for you to borrow. If you feel like hanging out we have games, films, books and a beautiful garden. We provide everything you will need for a baby/toddler: cot, bath, toys, books, high chair.

The Pinedale Apartment is a modern, warm and sunny 2 bedroom, family friendly home away from home with it's own fully fenced garden. Sleeps up to 4 plus space for 1 infant in a portacot.

The Lodge is a gorgeous classic kiwi country villa, originally on a farm. Perfect for groups of families, friends, social clubs, birthday parties, anniversary get-togethers, wedding celebrations, team building or just because there is now one large holiday home in Methven that can fit you and your mates! Enjoy the two spacious living areas, long dining tables, relax in the sunken conversation pit by the open fire, watching Freeview TV or one of the many films, read or play a game of pool. With our tiered room rate, it can cater for different sized groups of up to 24 people.

Theres so much to do in and around Methven - skiing/snowboarding, golf, fishing, tramping, mountain biking, high country lakes, hot air ballooning, live music, trotting meets, Mountain Thunder event, sports events and more.

Pinedale is just over 1 hour's drive from Christchurch International Airport and only 10 minutes drive from the base of Mount Hutt Ski Area. Within 5 minutes walk are several legendary pubs, the Visitor Information and Methven Heritage Centre are nearby as are supermarkets, cinema, book shop, ski and snowboard shops and a gym. Plus we're close to plenty of places to eat, from fine dining restaurants to takeaway joints and cafes. In the winter season there is a free village shuttle bus in the evenings that stops just outside Pinedale, so you wont even have to walk in the snow or rain.
