About this property

Opuke Studio Methven

Opuke Studio 48 Methven, is an upstairs, compact (18 sq m) `Studio Apartment` consisting of one room with a queen sized bed - kitchenette - Smart TV - wall panel heater - + shower, toilet & hand basin, combined laundry with adjoining apartment.
Can be hired with the attached 2 bedroom apartment to make 3 bdrms, 2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens & TV`s.
Enjoy the resort facilities of Spa (10.00am to 8.00pm, sorry no BYO drinks), Tennis Court, BBQ, Children`s play area.
Easy walking distance to Town Centre.

A compact (18 sq m), easy care, comfortable `Studio` room with cooking facilities.

Access is via a short pathway between the first 2 blocks of units on the eastern side of the resort complex. Then up a flight of 15 stairs, there is no lift available. There is a shared main entrance with the adjoining apartment plus the shared laundry facilities. Opuke Studio (38A) is to the right of the other apartment (on the eastern side).

This apartment is not managed by the resort manager and it is best to not approach him (he will not be very accommodating) . Please contact Selwyn at any time should you need any help or information.

Methven is still a small Town atmosphere with large Town facilities. A great Town to spend a week or more exploring all it has to offer.

Most of Methven`s facilities (including the recently opened `Opuke Hot Pools`) are all within easy walking distance.

We are here in Methven to ensure your stay is pleasurable and enjoyable so please let me know of any issues, concerns or improvements we should consider. The resort management and office staff will not offer any help or information.
There is an EV vehicle charge station on site at the resort that charges Tesla`s only, another public one is at the south east corner of the Town Hall.
Please ventilate the apartment well while cooking. Being a small apartment its easy to set the fire alarm off while cooking, they are quite sensitive and there is a monetary penalty should the alarm be activated.
Do not approach the resort management or staff for advice or assistance - contact Selwyn.
No smoking, vaping or drugs in apartment.
