Glenfalloch Accommodation
Accommodation at Glenfalloch
If eating a hearty breakfast before stepping outside to a waiting helicopter for a day's skiing is your idea of heaven, then Glenfalloch Station may just be paradise!
Methven Heliskiing has operated from the helipad at Glenfalloch Station since 1986. You can get from the warmth of your accommodation to the snow-laden slopes of the Arrowsmith Range within minutes.
When you return to Glenfalloch, your hosts will be waiting to greet you with a cold beer or a glass of spicy mulled wine. Then, you can soak in one of the outdoor spa pools.
Glenfalloch's accommodation features 2 large houses and a single-bedroom cottage - all extensively renovated with commanding views of the Arrowsmiths.
The rate includes accommodation, breakfast, and dinner. If you are not able to ski, we will provide you with a bite to eat for lunch.

Other Activities
If weather conditions prevent heli-skiing, you could take a heli flight to one of the nearby commercial ski fields and hit the slopes there. Alternatively, you may prefer to try out your 4WD drive skills on the rugged farm tracks at Glenfalloch Station or test your aim at clay pigeon shooting, or simply kick back, relax and enjoy the station's rustic atmosphere and comfortable facilities. If you need to, you can catch up for a couple of hours with your office in one of our conference rooms.
