Barkers Lodge

Barkers Lodge Superb establishment for groups or families! Offering ensuite bedrooms, large communal areas. It is just an hour's drive to Christchurch's international airport.

Barkers Lodge is at the base of Mt Hutt ski area in the town of Methven. Methven is approximately a 35 minute drive to the top carpark at Mt Hutt in ideal road conditions. Barkers Lodge is ideal for large groups with a large communal area for gathering and socialising. This is also a great space for families - children can be occupied by a gaming console, free wifi in communal areas or the pool t

able while parents stay in sight enjoying the delights of the bar including a vast selection of New Zealand craft beers. We offer great rates for children. Barkers stays open for the winter ski season only. Large groups wanting accommodation outside the ski season should email the management. Many sports teams and extended family groups have found the accommodation ideal for a stay during a tournament in the district or for a special get together. Buffet meals are normally available in the winter for those who have asked for these at the time of booking their accommodation. Skiers and snowboarders training for races make use of the ski tuning room. To enquire about booking rooms Barkers Lodge email [email protected]

The mountain looked stunning this morning from our lodge car park!
If you are coming to stay with us these holidays, bring lots of warm clothes. It was -3°C this morning in Methven and the days ahead are going to be fine and frosty. Great for snow making on the mountain, and great snow conditions for skiing.

Hi Guys,
Thank you all for the lovely words you have sent, the offers of help and/or your attendance yesterday. I am so proud of the large Barkers family Tony and I have created through the bar.
I will open Barkers Bar in a week or two when I have had time to get my head around things. But be aware it will be even more of a 'pop up' bar than normal.if that is possible. When groups are staying in Barkers we will not open and when my right hand bar man is not available we will not open either. And it will certainly only be open Fridays.
I will keep you posted via this page and give you as much notice as possible.
We have made so many wonderful friends through the bar. Friday nights have always been a highlight of our week. Thank you all.
Kate Wood

Merry Christmas from us at Barkers Lodge.
