The area surrounding the Blue Pub

Methven and the Canterbury Plains (click the images to see them in more detail)

Hot-air balloons
One of the many activities around the township of Methven is hot-air ballooing, which can be booked from the Blue Pub. The balloons are an ideal way to get an overview of the entire area.

Methven from the air
This is an aerial view of the township of Methven. The mountains in the background are the nearby Southern Alps, which contain many local ski fields. Ski equipment for these fields can be booked at the Blue Pub. Instruction and transport is also available.

Golf @ Methven
Methven has one of the most beautiful golf courses in New Zealand (and therefore the world). Just ask any of the locals...

Methven - main street
This is the main street of Methven. See how it is practically deserted because there is so much to do around Methven that everyone is out doing it.
