I'm an Aussie who met a Kiwi in Tokyo, lived in Ireland, got engaged in South Africa then married in beautiful Akaroa many moons later! After all the travel, I have loved putting down roots in Christchurch where we have been now for over 16 years. We have two teenage kids now who keep us very busy! I love getting over to Akaroa and Cardrona - they are both places where I literally exhale as I drive down the valley on their approach. I hope you'll enjoy your stay as much as we do!

Cardrona Hotel Walking distance / 2-minute drive One of New Zealand’s oldest and most iconic pubs. It is practically a requirement to enjoy a local craft beer or a mulled wine in their legendary backyard beer garden. The food is hearty alpine fare—think slow-cooked lamb and famous venison burgers. Cardrona Distillery 3-minute drive A stunning, high-design distillery nestled in the valley. Book a tasting tour to sample their award-winning "The Reid" vodka and single malt whiskies. Their cocktail bar and snack menu are incredibly refined—perfect for a sophisticated afternoon. The Mezz at Cardrona 15-minute drive (Mountain Base) For a more elevated lunch or dinner experience, The Mezz offers premium local produce and incredible views of the basin. Cardrona Alpine Resort The most popular ski field in NZ. With wide-open beginner slopes and world-class terrain parks, it’s perfect for every level. The "Chondola" (combined gondola/chairlift) makes getting to the top easy for everyone. Snow Farm NZ Located just across the valley from the ski resort, this is the place for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and a dedicated snow tubing park that the kids will love. Cardrona Alpine Resort Mountain Carting & Biking In the summer months, the ski resort transforms. Rent a Mountain Cart (a three-wheeled gravity go-kart) for a downhill thrill, or hit the lift-accessed mountain bike trails. The Cardrona Horse Trekking & Quadbiking "The Cardrona" offers guided treks through the rugged high-country terrain. It’s a peaceful way to see the valley’s vast beauty on horseback or a high-energy way via quad bike.
