Thimble Cottage - Methven Holiday Home

About this property

Rich in history, charm, and character, Thimble Cottage has been on this site since 1882, as a family home for most of it’s life, and now welcoming guests to Methven. Nestled in a peaceful setting with stunning views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Mount Hutt Ski Field, this beautifully preserved cottage offers the perfect blend of heritage appeal and modern comfort.

Step inside and discover a warm, inviting retreat where original features sit comfortably alongside thoughtful updates made over the years. The cosy living spaces are ideal for relaxing after a day of adventure, while large windows fill the home with natural light and frame the peaceful surroundings.

The bedrooms are located within the original section of the cottage and reflect its rich history. As you might expect from a home of this age, there are slight variations in floor levels and the bedrooms are modestly sized, with two bedrooms accommodating Queen sized beds and one bedroom with two King Single beds. This adds to the authentic character and charm of your stay. Each room has been comfortably furnished with relaxation in mind.

Outside, enjoy the tranquil garden setting and fresh country air, with breathtaking mountain vistas providing a memorable backdrop throughout the seasons. Whether you're planning a winter ski adventure, a countryside escape, or simply a chance to unwind, Thimble Cottage offers a welcoming place to return to at the end of each day.

Practical features include a bathroom with a shower-over-bath, secure bike storage in the onsite shed, and convenient indoor ski gear storage in the laundry. Property information and appliance instructions are also available onsite to help make your stay seamless and enjoyable.

Combining timeless character, modern convenience, and spectacular scenery, Thimble Cottage invites you to slow down, relax, and experience a little slice of Canterbury history.

Ashburton offers visitors a number of attractions, incluing boutique art and craft stores, shopping, great dining options, and an interesting art gallery and museum.
