We’re very proud to celebrate Sebastian successfully completing his apprenticeship!

It’s amazing to think that back in 2021/2022, Seb was here at Ski Time Restaurant washing dishes to help us out on busy nights. In 2023, he started his culinary apprenticeship at another restaurant, and this June he returned to join us for our busy winter season. Under the guidance of our head chef James, he completed his final assessments and officially finished his qualification!

A big thank you also to Joseph (pictured on the right) from ServiceIQ for helping transfer Seb’s apprenticeship to Ski Time and making it possible for him to successfully achieve Level 4.

Now Seb is off to Australia to work with some awesome chefs and continue growing his skills. We are so excited to see where this next chapter takes him — and remember, Seb, we’ll always have you back. 👏✨

Our Story

Everything about Ski Time is just right, from the open fires, ensuite rooms and cozy ambience, to the extensive wine list, great food and brilliant service.

Ski Time is located only one hour’s drive from Christchurch International Airport, and when you arrive, it’s just a five minute walk to the town centre and a 30 minute drive to Mt Hutt Ski Area.

We are lucky enough to have stunning views of the Southern Alps, whose slopes and foothills provide our playground for both winter and summer activities. Methven lies just off the inland scenic route, giving good access from all parts of the island.

We are all about hospitality, atmosphere, and creature comforts. The perfect location for a conference or event.
