Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Friendly, cosy, clean, convenient and welcoming. Lovely spa, pool table and wifi, although they are not included in the price. Great kitchen facilities, and hearty breakfast. Room was clean, and warm, comfy bed and nice linen. Short walk to shops and pubs.

A wonderful place to stay. Accommodation is spacious, safe and clean with great facilities. Very large lounge with a beautiful fire. Great space for parking. Hosts Marek and Cathie were very welcoming and provided us with great information on places to go to and things to see aside from the beautiful skiing available at Mt Hutt. A hidden treasure. Would highly recommend it.

It does not get any better than this. The lodge is well set out catering to all our needs we had a family of 9 and where look after so well. The service and rooms are perfect for us, the kitchen and lounge room with the fire place top off a wonderful day skiing. Cathie will make sure everything you need is in place and your stay is memorable. Once again - Thank you and there is no where else we will stay when coming to town - See you soon .

I made a telephone query to make my booking as I felt the online options were no clear enough for what I wanted. A double bed for one adult and two single beds for my two children. I was reassured that by clicking the triple option I would get the room configuration I wanted. On arrival they had arranged three singles instead. When I questioned this the woman manager lost it. She yelled and screamed at me, told me I had "clicked the button on the internet", that she was sick of people, she threw a pen at me and ran off down the corridor screaming that she could not cope. I did nothing more than state the room was not what she and I had agreed. I had also said I would happily pay for two rooms, but she did not want to listen. To me it appeared she was troubled before I arrived and should not be facing people. My childern observed her strange behaviour and were both upset. Her partner appeared and his stance was " I have to support my partner no matter what". He suggested I put something on trip advisor as he did not care as he can always respond negatively about me and it means nothing to him. He said he was not interested in customer service and was sick of people bringing it.

Sorry - worst place I have ever stayed in. I booked for 2 nights, then with 24 hours notice asked if I could cancel the second night. Was advised have to give 30 days notice even though half the town had vacancies. Owners were rude and surly. Unit had 2 tiny single beds and a bunk. No fridge or tea\coffee making facilities in room. No shampoo. Only soap was from a communal bottle. Only supplied 1 towel even though they knew it was for 2 people. Walls paper thin. The backpackers down road was $25 instead of $125 and looked nicer. The web site is NOT a secure site so do not supply credit card details to it. If want to use the spa you have to book in advance, ie before you get there. Would have been nice to know that, ie put the info on your web site!!!!!

The website for the manor is misleading--the owners live in the manor house and do not have a private entrance which makes for an awkward stay. We were woken up before 7am by yelling and ranting and slamming doors. We were reprimanded for using the laundry facilities of the house. Furthermore we were charged for the accommodation before we checked out--we ended up paying DOUBLE and had to later get reimbursed. Overall we felt unwelcomed and the experience put a damper on our trip. The views were nice.

Mmmmmm where do I start. The owners do not have a clue about customer service nor do they care about the comfort of guests. Once you have paid you are on your own. We stayed for 7 nights and our room was cleaned of rubbish and serviced with new towels on the second day with no further service provided! By the time we finished our stay the towels were quite wet and smelly and the rubbish had accumulated. We were not able to empty the rubbish as there were no outside bins at the lodge at all. Cleanliness is an issue here as I along with other people in the kitchen witnessed the manager clean the floor with the dishcloth by throwing the cloth on the floor, placing his foot on the cloth and wiping up whatever he had spilt. He then proceeded to place the cloth back in the kitchen sink to be used for washing up again. I gasped in horror and looked at other guests in disbelief!
The owners/managers do not stay at the lodge during the daytime and are difficult to contact on the phone when not there. I left numerous messages on the answering machine to book the spa for the evening. When I returned later that day and enquired about our (possible) booking for the spa he said that he didn't listen to the phone messages on the answering machine at all.
Just a note on the heating for the rooms, they are on a 1 hour timer. Luckily for us this winter was quite mild and it was just adequate.
All in all a bad experience from a place that obviously does not believe in or care about customer service.

Although we had a confirmed booking, the whole lodge was empty, locked and nobody there. We tried to reach them by phone several times but only got the receiver. As the i-SITE was already closed and nobody at the friendly pub could help us, we had a lot of trouble because of this behaviour. Really a mess.

Beautiful lodge with friendly and helpful owners. This was my 5th year in Methven and the first I've stayed at Breckenridge. I will definitely be coming back year after year. The lodge offers spacious, clean, warm rooms and has a beautiful common room with fireplace and kitchen.
I would highly recommend this lodge as the place to stay in Methven.

Just spent 3 nights at Breckenridge Lodge. This is my 2nd visit and its good to see that Mzrek and Cathie have made some improvements which made for a more enjoyable stay. The skiing was average but nice to come back to a warm lounge and a chat with some of the other folk staying at the Lodge.
