Guest Book
“Friendly hosts and warm atmosphere rarely experienced whilst I backpacked around the globe. Was the best hostel we stayed at in NZ by far. If you like a cosy, friendly atmosphere, stay at Pinedale. If not go elsewhere!”
Tim, Australia
“best hostel I've stayed in New Zealand. Had a good laugh and a lot of fun, Methven is relaxed, good for skiing and the staff is absolutely super-friendly. Will miss this hostel for sure. thx for the great time”

“One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Had a great homely feel to it, and felt very welcome straight away. Staff were fantastic, as were the other people staying there so obviously it is attracting the right kind of people! DVDs and videos there to watch on an evening plus a pool table and board games if you aren't going out. Coming home to cookies after a day on the mountain was the icing on the cake! Thanks for such a great time!”

“A brilliant hostel! When you not only get a brilliant stay, great people and cookie's freshly baked after a day on the slopes; what more can you want! Penny and Tim, thanks for making my stay a great one.” Richard, Australia

“A great place to stay in Methven. Penny and Tim were awesome and helped us out with anything we needed (snow reports/mountain info/directions etc). Highly recommended”
Lee, Australia
“Comfy beds and warm spacious rooms. Log burner with airer above to dry damp clothes easily. Big kitchen and huge lounge area- kids loved the DVDs! The blackboard with details such as skiing conditions (posted at 6.45am) was very useful, and the tip about
seeing the sheep-shearing contest was great! Thank you for a wonderful and welcoming couple of nights!”
