Downstairs are 2 queen bedrooms, each with their own ensuite.

Methven is 5 minutes drive down the road and has 2 small supermarkets, multiple takeaways, restaurants and bars as well as a movie theatre and the famous Opuke hot pools. Ashburton is a 20 minute drive and Christchurch city is 1 hour drive.
