Return to Kea
This is our third stay at this lovely cottage that is a great location for exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside. Candy is always clear and prompt in communicating and the cottage is always spotless and comfortable. We especially like the layout with two large bedrooms with ensuites (plus an additional bunkroom for kids). Great for two couples , a family, or two singles.

This our second stay at Kea. We love the cottage and the area. Tracey (the cottage manager) is friendly and prompt in responding but otherwise you are completely private. The cottage is comfortable and clean and has everything you could need. Wonderful drives to stunning scenery in the area. We’ll be back!

Awesome house!
We had such a nice couple of days staying at Kea Cottage. You can walk into Methven for dinner. The cottage has everything you need and is very tidy and clean. A safe property for children.

Perfect place for a weekend getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at Kea Cottage. We had four adults and two kids (3 & 5) and it was the perfect place for us - really spacious, modern and had everything we needed. Great indoor outdoor living and the kids loved playing outside. Thanks for having us!

Perfect again
Our second stay at Kea Cottage was as good as the first. A lovely open living area with a good deck and lawn give the family plenty of space to roam. The bach is warm and comfortable. Set on the outskirts of Methven it has a sense of quiet, perfect for a relaxing stay.

Thanks for the kind words. You are most welcome to visit in the winter. Check dates early though as the grandchildren are laying claim to a lot of the ski weeks! Candy

Comfortable modern bach
We had a short stay at Kea Cottage, but enjoyed every minute of it. The wonderfully appointed living areas and deck made allowed all to enjoyed some relaxation after excursions. We all enjoyed comfortable nights and would welcome the chance to return again. Located on the outer area of Methven it is an easy 1 km stroll into the centre of town.

Great location for Canterbury Plains
The renovated Kea Cottage is a lovely, bright, airy space with excellent indoor/outdoor flow and comfortable amenities. It made a perfect anchor for our explorations of the surrounding Canterbury Area. We especially appreciated the brochure on the Hakatere Conservation Area and explored it thoroughly--fabulous views and miles of splendid isolation! Highly recommended accommodation.

Great place close to the mountains
Brand new place with all the amenities close by. Large sun facing deck to relax after a day on the hill, good wifi if you need to work, big kitchen and living area. All in all I would highly recommend this place.
