Blue Pub Methven

Perfectly situated a short drive from no less than eight different ski fields and the famous Mt Hutt Ski Area is but a snowball’s throw away.

A truly gorgeous historic building with its sweeping verandahs, and inside you’ll find a warm welcome, cold beer, delicious food and relaxing, comfortable accommodation perfect after a day of adventure or relaxation in this awesome part of the country. Perhaps soaking in the Ōpuke Thermal Pools and Spa is more your speed, or maybe a walk in the Enchanted Forest or a round of golf . Scenic beauty and relaxation or adrenaline-fuelled adventure, the choices of activity and excursion in this region are many and varied.

When you’re ready to refuel, whether you choose a meal in front of the fire or catch up with our crew in the main bar and munch through one of the famous Blue Burgers on the verandah in the sun….you will have made the right choice either way.

The Blue likes to think that it’s one of Canterbury’s major live venues for music and many renowned artists have played here!  Whether it’s a band in the Main Bar or a bigger touring band rocking it in Samuels Summit Bar… it’s always a great night.

There are a number of great annual events held in Methven, check them out – maybe one of them is for you. And if you stay a bit too late and feel a little “well done” our rooms upstairs are there for the taking.
