Absolutely loved our stay in the villa! The space is large, clean and modern - perfect for a family. Loved seeing the historical hotel/pub and dining at the restaurant. Also easy access to Wānaka and Queenstown.

Wonderful hotel! I highly recommend. Oasis compared to the madness of Wanaka. Cardrona Hotel is a beautifully restored old hotel. Surroundings are clean, quiet and beautiful. Staff warm, relaxed, helpful and friendly. Food and coffee excellent. Count yourself a winner if you stay here.

This was our second stay .. first was back in 2018 in winter. Lovely to see all the beautiful flowers and enjoy the outdoor eating areas. Such a beautiful nostalgic old pub! Gave us a chuckle that the tvs haven’t changed since 2018!

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.

Love this hotel. First time we’ve stayed rather than visited for an afternoon. Highlight, apart from the gorgeous garden bar, is the food. Consistent quality. Rated every meal. Only thing I would love to see changed is having a breakfast service for in house guests rather than guests needing to order through at the bar. Coffee is also excellent.

This historic hotel is a treasure with beautiful landscaping and overflowing with flowers. The restaurant serves a big spectrum of food and drinks and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly and did everything they could to be accommodating. The room was tight but was cozy and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was huge and the towels wonderful. However it took a while for the water to get hot. This was one of our best stays in our 2 week visit of NZ and would love to return.
