Alford Forest rentals with pool

Great location wjth all you need for a weekend near the ski field

I used to stay here a good ten years ago with the previous owners. I'm delighted to see this fantastic place back on renting sites and you won't be able to keep me away come snow season. The rooms have been extensively and sympathetically renovated and have gone from good to great. The site is reconfigured as a perfect ski and summer getaway for parties of all sizes - the function room is no longer in use but there's more facilities such as a drying room added and the large house onsite is now available for large groups. Any tips? The key lockbox is a little fiddly to use, you need two hands so open it so don't try faffing about by yourself with your phone torch if you arrive at night. We were unlucky enough to have the fire alarm go off in the middle of the night, which will always happen occasionally anywhere - it reminded us to be prepared to evacuate where-ever you stay, potentially into bad and cold weather. The chalet manual has good clear instructions on what to do. I can't wait to come back with my snowboard in a few months. See you again soon.

Really enjoyed our stay, loved the setting and the home was comfortable and cosy. Only thing would be some new pillows as those werent great. Apart from that loved it. Would stay again

Great little spot close to Mt Hutt. Had all the amenities we needed including a full kitchen and warm room to store our ski gear. Would stay again!

Nicely presented little house with plenty of firewood to keep it cozy and warm. The only criticisms of the place I can offer are: 1. The house sits on a busy (for Methven) intersection which can mean headlights and noise. 2. The carport is VERY low and so our 4WD wouldn't fit under it with the ski rack on the roof.

We arrived in the dark but it was easy enough to find the chalet and key box. Beautifully clean, tidy and spacious.Only thing they need is a few hooks or hanging clothes space but other than that couldn't fault it! Will come again for sure!
