We stopped at Skibo Methven to break our journey between Invercargill and Nelson so it was everything we needed. It is clean and tidy with a kitchen and breakfast cereals, tea and coffee to help yourself to. I did need to contact Clint over a minor matter, he was very quick to respond and arrange a solution. The location is wonderful as it is a short walk to restaurants, etc. We were traveling with our dog, the front yard is nearly fully fenced and we discovered the Methven Dog Park is just a short drive away.
