Fodor's Expert Review Terrace Downs
623 Coleridge Rd., Rakaia Gorge, Canterbury, 7572, New Zealand
Considered a top golf resort in New Zealand, Terrace Downs is a good place to base yourself for a vacation away from the crowds. Although not strictly in Methven, Terrace Downs is a 20-minute drive away, with spectacular views of the Rakaia Gorge and the looming presence of Mt. Hutt. Accommodations are in a series of contemporary one- to three-bedroom villas and larger fairway chalets perched on a ridge above the clubhouse and restaurant, with views from their balconies over the golf course and of the mountains.
PROS
- 18-hole championship golf course
- day spa and extended list of on- and off-site activities
- kid's club and babysitting available
CONS
- you'll need two nights if you want to really appreciate the surroundings and venue
- high winds in this exposed area
- the hotel has been through a series of management changes, and service can be varied
