We booked one of the apartments for our biking group Smokin 'Arrows, and it was cosy and comfy. Would be excellent for a family on a ski holiday too. Hosts Leunne and Alex were really cheerful and helpful. Highly recommend it. Cosy woodfire burner in lounge and 2 toilets in the apartment.

Hi AucklandJax, Thank you for your comments. I hope the Smokin Arrows crew got home safe and sound and without too many saddle blisters… We are happy you enjoyed your apartment. The fireplace is surely a hit. Some years ago, a travel expert recommended that we have it pre-lit for guests to walk into the apartment to the soft glow... More

Hi A-Renouf, It was great to see you and your young family recently on your visit to Methven. The main feature of our lodge is the warm and friendly atmosphere which is shared amongst us and our guests. During winter, we have the log-fire burning in the lounge area where you can enjoy a coffee, some music and a chat... More

“Love it”

Reviewed 27 April 2013 via mobile

I have been to Abisko Lodge for four ski seasons now. I have never met more wonderful people than Alex and Leunne. They are so knowledgable of the area and helpful. Nothing is a bother. The location is great. The view of the mountain from the lounge room is simply breath taking. My evenings are spent having a 'night cap'... More

Hi Docedm, Thank you for your comments. We are so glad you enjoyed your self-contained apartment. I agree, the views of the mountains are, at times spectacular – just a pity we could not have put on one of those special sunrises we sometimes get. This really showcases the mountain well. Methven is a real hub for the ski enthusiast... More

“Great stay”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

We had a group doing a cycling trip and stayed in one of the apartments. Nice old building and good place to stay. The rooms were well laid out with plenty of space and a generous lunge kitchen downstairs. Location was a short walk into town. Didn't get a chance to look around the rest of the facilities but I'd... More

Hi KiwiTraveller199, Thank you for your comments. The cycle tour through town was so exciting to see with heaps of energy for the town, and a little friendly rivalry with the occasional support vehicle “Van-D-Lised”… Luenne and myself were so happy to host you guys and we are so happy you enjoyed the apartment. We agree, they are quite spacious.... More

“Good stopover”

Reviewed 18 January 2013

Lodge rooms are simple, but a good size, clean and well maintained. Methven options can be a little tricky in the summer since their high season is winter for skiing, but Abisko Lodge was a comfortable and well priced stopover for us. Staff were very friendly and helpful when we arrived tired from a long drive.

“Keith B.- Abisko Lodge a most wonderful place to stay.”

Reviewed 12 September 2012

This is a slightly belated review. I stayed at Abisko Lodge in August of 2011 for 10 days. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. I found the personal touch offered by the, live in, owners a most important asset. A friendly discreet couple very much tuned to the personal likes and preferences of their guests. I had an apartment separate... More
