Pudding Hill Lodge & Chalets

The location was great, handy to Methven Mt Hutt and Mt Somers.

Beautiful mountain views and comfy unit with all you need.

Would suggest extra blanket and firmer pillows.

Perfect location equidistant to Mt Hutt Road & Methvern - beautiful rural & mountain views Great tv / cable streaming services

Needer extra/ warmer blankets for bed. It gets super cold in winter

Great location. Huge lodge with lots of space around the lodge. Lodge could do with better heating though.

Location to Mt Hutt. Quiet and peaceful, with great views.

Nothing

Beautiful chalet in nature

No washing machine

Great location for heading to Mt Hutt and drying room for wet gear a bonus.

Would’ve been good to have laundry facilities for longer stays.

Nice view

Dead flies 20 in room, pillows so thin feel in half, security light on stairs ( we were in upstairs chalet) only lit up when at front door so complete darkness walking up to front door, dangerous with frost. Some power points lose at walls.

The place was very clean and surrounded by nature

僻静的小屋，给了我们二楼的房间 很新的小旅馆 视野很好，很适合和女朋友约个会 晚上星空也很棒 早上还能看到热气球小🐑和小滑翔机

灶台只有一个便利式灶台，可能不太方便做饭党，出去到最近的methven大概也要点时间

Lovely rural location and setting. Website said our unit had an oven but unfortunately there was not one in our room but made use of the microwave. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Beautiful nature setting, surrounded by trees, mountains and natural beauty. Great cottage with 2 bedrooms, a separate lounge area, a dining area and a full kitchen and sizeable bathroom. Great to have basic condiments provided for cooking. Thank you for a wonderful stay in a tranquil setting. Wish we had been able to stay longer.

Convenient location, spacious home.

Bed was comfortable.

Terrible perfume smell from some sort of cleaning fluid meant we had to completely air the unit before we could stay inside. Nothing to keep out the sandflies. Shared the cooking oil with downstairs as they had run out.

Lovely facility

The property was nice and we had everything we needed. It was nice and warm and the bed very comfortable. It was a very pretty location. A&B.

Location useful if you use it as pit stop during your roadtrip in summer (I guess this because busier during winter since it sits next to a ski station) Nice views from unit 6 where we stayed It had good heater in the common areas (not in the bedroom) and Netflix

Coffee and tea pots were empty. No complimentary milk provided (like every other accommodation in NZ). We opened the bedroom window and tons of flies came into the room (suspected there was a nest). There were dead insects on the floor of the living room. There were multiple dead birds around the carpark/unit entrance with flies around them.

Location and facilities

Pot holes getting in Nowhere to hang your clothes

Great location, clean with everything you need to self cater. Communication from owner was excellent. Useful location within short travel time (1hr) to Christchurch

Nothing.

Quiet, views and plenty of space.

Well maintained and beautifully clean

The view

A bit dark stronger light bulbs

Thoroughly enjoyed the lounge setting, and the views at the property, good water pressure in the shower snd lovely body wash scent!

The mattress was definitely old and worn out. We are both mid 20s and woke up with sore backs. Half way through the night I could feel one of the springs in the bed digging into me. I would highly recommend replacing the mattresses.

Lovely location, fabulous views of the countryside.

Location wise for getting to Mt Hutt Ski Feild, phenomenal.

When booking, be mindful you may have different guests upstairs in a different room - you can hear them walking/moving around.

Schönes Chalet mit tollem Ausblick.

Es gab keinen Geschirrspüler und die Seife in die Seife in den Seifenspendern war leer.

Great stay - very comfortable, beautiful surroundings, lovely living room to hang out in

Very minor but there wasn't any dish soap and the cleaning brush was too dirty to use

Found a lot of hair on the carpet near the TV which let us believe it had not been hovered before our coming.

Balcony and views.

Klidne misto s hezkou atmosferou. Ubytovani moc pohodlne. V kuchyni vse potrebne vybaveni. Cech in/check out fungoval dobre podle instrukci v emailu. Hezka travnata plocha za domky na trochu sportu.

Modern, clean, excellent shower, good cooking facilities and heating.

Pillows were too flat and unusable, it needs luggage racks to store luggage off the floor, and the front door needs a blind or frosting for privacy as it felt too open and exposed with clear glass.

Het apartement was van fantastische kwaliteit. Brandschoon, modern en ruim. Als permanente woning zou het geweldig zijn. Geweldige badkamer/douche. Ruime woonkamer met tv, zeer ruime slaapkamer met fantastisch uitzicht over de bergen. Een onverwachte parel.

Niets. Het was helemaal top.

It was everything that we needed for a wee get away, beautiful views all around, very quiet. Very clean and cosy rooms. Very easy to find our room and instructions easy and everything went well. Host was at the touch of a finger and answered our questions quickly. Lovely place to stay and just what we needed

The only thing was the bed was very soft

Lovely stay with my young family. Very clean, very peaceful and had everything we needed

Lovely peaceful setting and a comfortable room. Enjoyed the stars from our balcony. Helpful with booking a last minute second night.

No power point in bathroom.

Very quiet and lovely views of the mountains. Great for looking at stars.

Could use power points in the bedroom near the bed and bathroom.

Value for money and amenities had everything required.

The location is around 10km from Methven and the night were there it was extremely windy and the property didn’t prevent the sound.

Situé au milieu des champs et face à une petite montagne, très calme, avec un petit balcon très agréable donnant sur la montagne (pour les logements du dessus). Grande télévision avec Netflix. Possibilité d’aller au mont Sunday dans le très beau parc national d’Hakatere (mais cela prend 1h30 minimum en raison de la longue route de graviers dans le parc national d’Hakatere). Check in et Check out facile avec boîte à clefs.

Logement peu chaleureux, meublé de façon basique et sans cachet. Peu lumineux dans le coin cuisine et salle de bain. Grand lit mais matelas trop mou. Espace pour cuisiner étroit et peu pratique, plaques chauffantes usées. Aucun contact avec les propriétaires, en dehors des messages via Booking. Route non goudronnée pour accéder au logement.

Great basic chalets set in a stunning part of the country. Clean, tidy, warm and close to Methven, Mt Hutt and plenty of walking tracks.

Excellent location and well equipped

Nothing!

A few days skiing at Mount Hutt as were the other folk staying. Amazing value for money. Quiet, close enough to the snow and town. We might come back with the wider family and stay in the big unit

Was great, but could have more kitchen stuff

Lovely quiet spot. Rural / Farm like setting with lots of space outdoors. 15mins from Methven. 40mins to Mt Hutt. Good facilities provided. Good sized rooms too. Good host.

Loved everything. A coffee plunger would be a nice addition 😊

The location was great

I was a bit disappointed with a few things this year compared to my stay last year. The hand soap in the kitchen was watered down, we found someone’s retainer under the sofa from a previous stay and we had no wifi for 3 out of the 4 nights we stayed so couldn’t watch the tv or use the internet.

Mountain views

Quiet, kid friendly, close proximity to Mount Hutt ski fields

Playground a little outdated and broken

Quiet location, easy access to the local town and ski fields, lovely country area, nice views

The accommodation was spotlessly clean and spacious. Lovely linen and a very good shower.

There was no heating on when we arrived. It was 4 degrees outside and bitterly cold inside. it took us a long time to get the house warm enough to be comfortable. While there were hot water bottles, an electric blanket would have been very much appreciated in the middle of winter.

Spacious place, love the surroundings too.

Too secluded, too cold with no option for additional heater. Owner was also cold in responding to my asks. Rooms were not ready when we arrived at 320pm.

Location. Unit facilities. Outlook

Chalets were clean, modern and comfortable and very good value for money. Probably dearer during the ski season. Very quiet and a great location.

We got there after dark and didn't see the huge sign at the roadside, maybe a couple of solar spotlights would help illuminate it. Didn't help that the road was closed that week and we had to drive around the barriers to get to the property, but that is not the fault of the property owner.

The chalet was in a beautiful location, offering a relaxing and peaceful environment. It was very spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed for our short stay.

Pleasant stay, love the ambiance, peace and quite place. Love it

We loved everything about this place. When we arrived, the room smelled so nice, we felt welcomed and pampered from a long journey! The location is perfect, far from crowds and noise. So peaceful. The facilities are perfect too. This is the best accommodation we had in NewZealand.

Nothing to not like in this place. This is just perfect! We will be back here for sure!

We’ll appointed enjoyed being able to relax and chat in the living room after a long journey. Spacious and lovely kitchen with everything we needed. Great bed and shower. Host very obliging about allowing us to leave a vehicle for 2 days whilst we were away tramping this was really helpful..

Nothing we didn’t learn like

Quiet location. Comfortable. Had everything we needed.

It was in a good location for our hike at Mount Sunday. The facilities clean.

Beautiful, peaceful and quiet setting

Very nice and quiet location, great facilities. As expected.

The rooms were a bit hot when I arrived after a sunny day.

Nice chalet in a rural area with a beautiful view and relaxing atmosphere. At night you can see the stars very well. We liked the extra living room, the sunny balcony and the provided hot water bag. Would highly recommend!

The shower was a bit small for a tall person

Clean & comfortable in a gorgeous setting & location.

Shower pressure (upstairs).

Beautiful and well equipped unit. Amazing scenery.

Booked at last minutes due to travel changes. Clean and well presented, 2 bedrooms for the family and a good kitchen. Lovely views and off the beaten track, Ideal for us on the way south.

Not within walking distance of shops, but not really an issue for us.

Lovely property in very quiet place and good value for the money.

The bathroom did not have an electric socket so you could not use the hairdryer in the bathroom and there was no other mirror in the apartment. Also the mirror in the bathroom was not over the sink so made shaving difficult for my husband. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

It was a beautiful place to stay in especially because it was such a secluded area with beautiful view of the mountains. We also got to stargazed at night! The place was well equipped with kitchen things to use and a living room. It was like a home away from home. We enjoyed our stay.

We weren’t sure if the beddings were supposed to be made beforehand but it was fine overall!

Stunning view and close to mountain for ski field.

No internet and a bit cold.

We like the location for location (we skiied at Mount Hutt for 4 days). The kitchen had everything we needed and loved the lambs and bulls outside.

Unfortunately the chalets are paper thin so we could hear EVERYTHING from the people staying above... their coughs, brushing their teeth, conversations... creaking floors as they moved. It meant after a day skiing with 4 kids who desperately wanted to sleep, were kept up until the people above us slept at about 11.30pm. After 4 nights of this we started to feel a bit hopeless and would have moved chalets. And it wasn't the people's fault who were staying above.... just creeky roof and poor sound insulation.

Lovely and clean. Great spot

One wine glass, had to borrow from neighbor.

it was nice and close to the mountain, easy check in, really pretty and we'll set up!

The kitchen is small and the heating pan can barely fired an egg. Many things is not described as picture’s shown. Living room and bedroom are small.

Excellent location, beautiful views, good value for money, easy access

Could do with more warm bedding.
