Very nice place to stay at. Very hot in the room though, with no A/C. Understandable why they don’t have A/C though as would only be used a few weeks a year. The TV was about 20years old and didn’t work so maybe they should update though with some FlatScreens on the wall and do away with those old cupboards. Otherwise all good and awesome Bar/Restaurant etc

Stunning gardens where we enjoyed a beautiful meal. Easy parking next to property. We stayed in the room with a balcony overlooking the gardens - breathtaking! We also had access to the hot tub - worth it! Staff are super helpful. A trip highlight!

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.

Great stay at Historic Hotel

My wife and i had 2 wonderful nights at Cordrona Hotel. We opted to splurge for the King Studio room which was the only room with its own terrace overlooking the lovely back garden. We sat out both nights enjoying the view and a bottle of wine. The staff are young and from all over the world. They all work hard to make the stay exceptional. Thank you Axel, Jonas, and Yun- sorry if the spelling is wrong. The food in the restaurant is delicious and the grassy area and gardens in the back are lovely. And you are staying in a historic landmark! Well worth the effort to get there.

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!

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.

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.

Wish I'd stayed here longer

We stayed at the Cardona for one night in Jan 2025 as part of a longer road trip. When driving up, this hotel can be mistaken for something smaller. But make no mistake, this hotel holds lots of charm and amenities that you don't find in a lot of places. In short, the Cardona has a lot of soul. From the bar, to the restaurant (food is amazing!), the hot tub, and a vegetable and herb garden. The room was also really clean and comfortable. It's truly a wonderful hotel that captures the charms of the area.
