favoriteWhat we love about our area

Methven is a fast developing Township that has still retained the smaller Township friendly feel but now has the facilities of a much bigger Township.
Too many fabulous features to fully list here but they include - Opuke Hot Pools: Mt Hutt Ski Field: Staveley Ice & curling rink: Mountain bike traks

Our pets

DogsDogs (1)
A very friendly two and a half year old cavoodle. Loves good walks or will run beside a bike. Gets feed in the morning and evening but would prefer a sitter that's here most of the day - unless up Mt Hutt skiing.
