Exceptional hotel! Wish we had stayed longer...
Despite our late arrival, the staff graciously offered us access to the hot tub after hours. Check-in was seamless. Our room was wonderfully comfortable, featuring remarkably solid doors that spoke to the historic character of this establishment. Everything about Cardrona Hotel impressed - from the stunning grounds and views to the exceptional restaurant, bakery, and shop. Our only disappointment was having such a short stay - we wished we could have extended our visit beyond one night.

Hubby and I stayed one night in Mid November 2024. Such a beautiful place to stay. Rooms are older but very comfortable. Not far from Wanaka or Queenstown. Price for the night was very reasonable and I would highly recommend staying here.
