As the largest town near the Mt Hutt Ski Resort, in winter Methven is a snow sports town and bustles with ski teams and snow lovers eager to be up the hill.

Mr Keene said the most recent attraction to Methven is the development of the stylish Opuke Thermal Pools and Spa – the complex is already on the way to becoming a world class spa and wellness complex attracting visitors year-round.

“Brinkley Resort appeals and caters to a wide range of clientele from corporates through to couples and large groups. With Opuke only minutes away from the resort and Brinkley’s award winning restaurant, Shackleton’s Bar & Grill, a visit is a real alternative to travellers who want a high calibre of services.” Said Kate Mullins.
