Skiing and snowboarding is a passion for most who have made Methven their home. Mt Hutt Ski Area is one of the most popular ski areas in New Zealand and having that beautiful mountain range as the town backdrop is stunning.

Cedar Chalets are located right in the centre of beautiful Methven, Mt Hutt Village with the Southern Alps and Mt Hutt Ski Area as a backdrop. Stay with us and you can relax in your own warm, spacious, self contained chalet, cook a meal in your well equipped kitchen or eat out in one of the many restaurants and cafes all within easy walking distance.

There are so many things to do it's hard to know where to start. With Mt Hutt Ski Area on our doorstep, some of the world’s finest heliskiing country, and six Canterbury ski fields all within close distance, Methven is a snowsports magnet during the winter months. Visitors and locals enjoy an array of outdoor activities including hiking & walking, mountain biking & road cycling, fishing, hunting, golf, hot air ballooning, horse riding, jet boating, helicopter scenic flights and 4WD high country adventures. If you don’t love the outdoors as much as we do, the Methven Mt Hutt area also caters for those seeking a more tranquil, country experience. Refresh and relax in our Amazing Space then head into down for some beauty therapy and shopping while enjoying the friendliness of our locals.
