Self check in with a staff member on call. Tidy clean cosy rooms, good old school nz ski lodge set up. Good to have a drying room. Not super soundproof, was woken by people in the room next door just talking. There was no breakfast options just tea and coffee. Good location at the end of the main street .

Abisko Lodge has absolutely exceeded our expectations. Everything was spotless clean and tidy, location is very convenient. The staff member (young German guy) went above and beyond to make our stay even better. For our next trip to Methven, this lodge will be our first and only choice.
