Methven Mt Hutt Accommodation

With over 2,000 beds available in the Methven Mt Hutt region, there are plenty of accommodation options for those wanting to visit the region all year round. Methven accommodation options range from hotel resorts, luxury B&Bs and motels to backpackers and camping grounds. Note: Mt Hutt Ski Area and the majority of ski fields in the Canterbury region do not offer on-mountain accommodation; Methven is the accommodation base for your ski holiday.

Please note that the Methven region has not been affected by the earthquakes that have struck the Christchurch region and local businesses are open and operating as normal.
