Thank you for a wonderful one night stay. We arrived late at night in the dark & rain & received a very friendly welcome. Upon seeing we had our teenage son with us (whom I had accidently forgotten to include) we were upgraded to a lovely two bedroom unit. Such a lovely gesture! It was warm, cosy & spotlessly clean. We would not stay anywhere else in Ashburton, it was perfect.

We have just returned home from a wonderful short break at the Methven Motels and Apartments. Just simply a wonderful place to stay. Our unit was just one room with a king size bed and also a single bed but we still had 2 comfy chairs , a dining table and chairs a kitchen complete with a microwave and gas hobs and everything one needed. It did not feel at all cramped even though we had our little old dog with us with her cage. The unit had wonderful tinted windows that gave us complete privacy. The bath had a shower over it and the bathroom was very spacious. The whole place was clean and comfortable. The owners could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend this as a place to stay.

We booked via the Porters Pass website, entered visa card details and received a confirmation of the booking via email. It was at their lower rate (and the last day before the ski feild opened). The disadvantage/trade off of this night is that we can only ski one day. The booking system kept dropping some of the people off the group every time I moved to the next window of days to look for availability, once I confirmed and booked I noticed it had dropped half my group off again! I started up a second booking making sure to add the rest of my group on the last window this time to avoid them dropping off. I added my credit card details and confirmed this second booking. I received a confirmation email with the same price as I had booked and that was as I expected it would be from the website booking form. I emailed Porters to let them know I needed to cancel my first booking as it didn't include half my group. A few days later Porters responded to my email about my first booking and referenced my second booking and said that price they had on their website was a mistake and they will charge $150 more (the in season price) when we check out. They didn't really seem interested in issues we have had with the booking system. I guess they know it's got problems? I replied saying I didn't think that was fair we had made a booking via their website and had an email confirmation to say they are now going to charge us more for the same booking? We can't ski on the day we are booked for so the full price seems unfair randomly decide we have to pay post booking. I can't be sure but it seemed to me like the early dump of snow had changed how they saw the days before the feild opened. I have asked the person emailing me to check out the commerce commission for info on fair pricing and advertising, I get the impression from the emails they don't think this is very cool of me. I think many New Zealanders expect when they book accomodation via a NZ website that the company will be aware of their pricing, what they are advertising and make it really clear what people are paying for at the time of booking. It seems like they have not been maintaining their website during winter and I suspect others will be in the same situation as us. I would recommend to others to reach out to Commerce Commission (via the phone number on the website). I would have booked the higher rate to do get a few days on the feild but I'm so peeved at how crappy this whole process is and I can tell they will make our stay miserable. Disappointing but we are spoiled for interesting huts, accomodation and spots in Canterbury and I'm not going to spend anymore time on these guys.

Super nice reception and many good tips for Athburton and also for the onward journey. Tasteful decor with plenty of space. Kitchen well equipped. Great accommodation !!! Thank you!

Stayed here for an overnight on the way back to Picton from a road trip of the South Island. Quality Suites Ashburton are of a very high standard and good value for money. Very clean, great shower over spa bath, very comfortable bed. Extremely well set out acccommodation, modernised and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend staying here. The lovely manager (so sorry, can't remember her name) gave us a strawbery muffin each as we left which was so tasty! Thank you!
