The family room was very comfortable, clean and well-equipped with a small kitchenette. We appreciated the hot tub (shared) after a day up the mountain. Dinner and ambience in the pub for dinner was excellent as usual. The mulled wine and seafood chowder are a must!

This was my first time in Cardrona! I picked it because it was a nice place to stay between Queenstown and Wānaka, but it was so cute and fun! Everything is walkable. We had a morning breakfast at the general store. Their meat pies were amazing! We also got food at the hotel nearby and that was fabulous as well! The spa pool was nice and relaxing, especially as the days cooled down.

Nice and comfortable lounge, bedroom, bath room setting. Free wine tasting in small group(actually only us) was unexpected, and found truely premium Pinot /resieling which changed my perception of NZ wines. Enjoying a cup of tea at the table in the pergola with mountain view and vineyard near by. Missed out public wine tasting which should offer more bottles in the other building, well, probably another time. Staff in reception and restaurant are nice and helpful.
