Gunyah Country Estate

Methven · Lodge ★★★★

Overview

In the rolling foothills of the Southern Alps west of Christchurch you'll find Gunyah Country Estate. Visitors to nearby Mt Hutt and Methven looking to experience the mountains, scenery and outdoor pursuits couldn't find a more central base than Gunyah. Your Mount Hutt Methven accommodation needs are catered for at our magnificent rural retreat. In The Lodge at Gunyah Country Estate we indulge our guests in the understated grace and style of true quality in one of New Zealand's grand old rural homesteads. Alternatively you could stay in one of the Self-Catering houses on site (The Granary, The Stablehand Quarters or The Mt Hutt View Cottage) for total independence and a different budget while still enjoying the same magnificent grounds and mountain views and the possibility of dining in The Lodge if you so wish, with prior reservation.
