I found both James and Arlene to be friendly and welcoming (without being over the top). Very pleasant and easy going hosts with a beautiful lodge. It rained buckets during my 2 night stay so I was unable to enjoy the lovely outdoor area and spa tub but there are a couple of comfy indoor areas to choose from if... More

We loved this town and our luxury stay at Beluga Lodge. The hosts Arlene and James were warm and friendly and made us feel so at home in this relaxed and tasteful lodge. Such great touches to make your stay relaxing, stress free and enjoyable. Pluses: Fruit, tea, coffee and biscuits that are complementary and available in the kitchen 24... More

Good value. Nice clean and comfy room. Easy walking distance to centre. Hot tub a real bonus. Amazingly well kept gardens with sectioned areas to relax in. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Continental breakfast well exceeded expectations. I have yet to find better in Methven. More

You can't fault this place without being ridiculous! The hosts, James and Arlene are the most welcoming, friendly and caring people you can meet. The house is warm, the rooms are comfortable and breakfast is amazing. We spent a couple of days exploring the area and loved coming back to a relaxing spa and comfortable beds. We absolutely loved our... More

stayed for 1 night wished it was more. like other reviews the hosts are friendly and helpful but you also have the run of the house and garden. we ate our own food in the lovely garden with use of the kitchen for everything. all rooms excellent and best continental breakfast ever More

I think you just need to read the rest of the reviews! James happened to be outside doing some tidying up when we arrived (co-incidentally???) but he knew who we were so had that personal welcome. The rooms were great, the place was warm (no fire but too hot in summer for that), the spa was relaxing, breakfast was impressive... More

We were definitely spoiled at Beluga - the house is absolutely beautiful, our room was perfect, breakfast was delicious and warming up in front of the fireplace was the perfect end to a hard day of skiing. James and Arlene were very hospitable and we really enjoyed our stay at Beluga - a 10/10 experience. We will definitely stay at... More

Upon arrival at the Beluga Lodge we were warmly greeted by the delightful Arlene, who made us feel exceptionally welcome (even though we had arrived about 5 hours earlier than we had said we would!) The main house is beautiful, warm and so comfortable, with an open fire, huge lounge, and a selection of books and games. They offer an... More

Beluga Lodge is hands down the best B&B I've stayed in any where around the world. We stayed here as part of a weekend skiing at Mt Hutt and were absolutely blown away by the lodge itself and the hospitality shown by owners James & Arlene. When you arrive, the warm atmosphere is instantaneous! We were greeted by a roaring... More
