Guest Reviews

• Vicki (10/5): Beautiful accommodation and dining - Lovely staff Upgraded to a Villa which was fabulous
• Helen (8/5): Great stop over on way, would be great when they have their outdoor events - Historical, had lovely dinner and breakfast although we thought it was a little pricey, staff very friendly and the log fire with mulled wine was nice. Closed early as it was Sunday, nothing to do after 8pm
• Lisa (8/5): - The bar is really lovely - fire place, great atmosphere. Beautiful garden. Food fab too. Comfortable bed. The room was super tiny, which was fine, as we were only stopping through for 1 night, however the bathroom needs a full renovation, and the TV must have been at least 40 years old - rather impressed that it still actually worked LOL. Recommend to choose one of the larger rooms, which we have stayed in before previously, that are lovely. Still a fab little spot with lots of history, and will stay again.
• Tomas (10/5): -
• Vicki (10/5): - Everything was perfect from the lovely room to the log fire in the bar area to the fabulous dinner in the restaurant. The staff were awesome and made the whole experience a lovely way to celebrate our anniversary.
• Tracey (8/5): Perfect place to stay - Fabulous location Food awesome Reception , wait staff great. Lovely hot pool Would be good to have a decent tv in the room
• Haruko (10/5): -
• Hala (10/5): -
• Gary (8/5): - Iconic hotel and location, clean, great facilities with the bar & restaurant, Hot tub was an added bonus. T.V and digital channels were unclear/ static with glitchy WIFI - I guess stuck in the middle of the mountains would do this - not a complaint as it is Iconic, and to say I've stayed there is more important - but for the next traveller wanting good WIFI, be prepared.
• Milani Thompson (10/5): Autumn Visit - The Tui singing away in the morning by the old school house was just the best! Clearly happy with whatever snacks is put out for him. Autumn colour's just beautiful
• Mark (10/5): -
• Rhonda (10/5): - Everything was fantastic. Food and staff were outstanding Having to leave
• the olds (10/5): - Very comfortable and friendly, helpful staff. Could not park near accommodation.
• Peter (10/5): Perfect - Wow, what a find. Loved everything about this historical place. Small room but the cleanliness, cosiness and atmosphere more than made up for this. Very friendly staff. Had a delicious pub meal in the beer garden on a beautiful autumn evening. Great value for money. Highly recommended.
• Claire (10/5): Super séjour dans un hôtel historique - Hôtel historique, très bien entretenu! Les chambres sont super confortables! Le personnel est accueillant et aux petits soins! Quelle chance d’y avoir séjourné!
• conor (10/5): We missed a night of booking for our holiday and this was a perfect last minute booking. Sad we didn’t just book it to b - Cute, quiet, unique. It’s minor and not a set back in anyway but the gravel for a heavy suitcase wasn’t ideal… but one can look past this with ease.
• Federico (10/5): -
• Bentley (8/5): -
• Sandie (8/5): -
• Jacqui (7/5): - Location and stunning gardens
• Yiimin (8/5): - No, I didn't order any food there can't think any....maybe cheaper is better
• Yesy (10/5): Love everything - We will be back! It’s incredible! I love the little jar for the milk in the bedroom! And food was yummy!
• Cherrington (10/5): - Everything. The entire hotel is just gorgeous. The glass houses. The outdoor fire. Theres even a hot tub. The staff were amazing, beyond helpful and friendly. We stayed in the Captains room, which was just lovely and cosy. Had dinner in the restaurant. Oh my word! Husband had the venison and I chose the lamb...DEVINE! Can't wait to come home again just to stay here.
• Melissa (9/5): -
• Jake (8/5): Location great, parking included, heritage property well maintained, tidy room. Only negative is room noise from other g - One of a kind property, gardens and heritage outstanding. Well maintained. Room not big and lots of noise from surrounding rooms during the night. Location and parking is great. Noise from other rooms.
• Elliott (10/5): - Very peaceful and homely N/a
• Bruce (10/5): Superb - A fantastic place with friendly welcoming staff in a great location N/A
• Bryan (7/5): A great stop on a stormy night. Beer in front of the fire can’t go wrong. - A great one time experience. Expensive for what it is. But you can’t beat the location.
• Maree (8/5): Very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere - Relaxed atmosphere Nothing really
• Myah (10/5): -

• Guest (10/5): -
• Steven (10/5): Wonderful - So much character, ambience ... nope, love the place
• Gage (9/5): Amazing! - Amazing, just amazing! So much character. A truly special place. If I was being very picky, the mattresses are a bit lumpy.. and there is no toaster. But I truly loved my stay here! My favourite accommodation for my whole trip.
• Nicole (10/5): Bloody lovely! - Love the Cardrona Hotel, beautiful yard/buildings/rooms.
• Leonie (10/5): -
• Helen (10/5): Beautiful heritage accommodation! - Cosy, clean and warm rooms! Friendly attentive service! The food in the restaurant was excellent! Beautiful heritage fittings throughout! Maybe some more fireplaces outside?!? (Just to add something really!)
• Kylie (9/5): -
• Malcolm (7/5): -
• Valda (10/5): Great atmosphere, love the history and awesome food. - Really enjoy staying at the hotel, very much repeat customers, love the indoor outdoor flow of the restaurant/bar and the cosy atmosphere. It was awesome to catch the motel in autumn with all the flowers and gardens. normally its a ski/winter visit. As much as I love the excuse to sit, talk, read... it would be great to have an updated tea and coffee/fridge and a TV that let us cast to it.
• Larissa (8/5): Lovely stay - Historic buildings with lovely gardens and friendly staff. Would be great to improve WiFi. Maybe upgrade a bit TV that we can watch it from the distance. We could hear the sound of dripping water I presume when our neighbours used the bathroom (Room 18). Maybe some problems with leaking pipes?
• Melanie (10/5): Amazing stop over. - Loved the history. Friendly staff. Location beautiful. Comfortable rooms. Food is excellent. No option of half portions for food for those with smaller appetites
• Emma (10/5): Wonderful stay everything was excellent. Thank you - Beautiful hotel and restaurant for a special occasion. Bed and room were so so comfortable, dinner in the bar was excellent. Enjoyed the spa pool. Beautiful gardens as well Nothing it was all perfect
• Zak9814bluff (7/5): Foodie spot not stay spot - Staff on bar and food we're both great,we reviewed the food for YouTube and it was good Old outdated rooms we have stayed here before this room was the best yet but a 6 on the overall context and this will be our last time staying here😔
• Judy (8/5): - Great location, hot spa and very comfy bed
• Nicola (8/5): A lovely, cosy pub, worth a visit when in the area - Full of character Access through the pub to get into room. Tv out of date and didn’t work well
• Leyle (10/5): Come-again Cardrona - Everything! We were so pleased we chose to stay up at Cardrona for the four days of Easter. Super-comfortable beds, great food options from breakfast to dinner in both the bar and restaurant, set in pretty gardens, log fires, friendly and helpful staff - together with the location's easy access to explore both ends of the road over the Crown Range - it all made for a most enjoyable stay - one we hope to repeat.
• Linda (9/5): Awesome history - We stayed at the Cardrona mainly for the history of the place which didn’t disappoint. Enjoyed the glass houses which we spent a few hours in.
• Bi_Ha (9/5): Charmantes Hotel mit leckerem angeschlossenem Restaurant - Sehr charmant gestaltetes Hotel mit tollem Garten und sehr leckerem Restaurant mit total netten Angestellten und sehr schönem Außenbereich. Ausreichend Parkplätze vorhanden.
• Rebecca (10/5): I will be back! - Such a lovely piece of history. Well looked after and the rooms were quirky, but contained everything I needed, including a decent bed and shower. Staff were lovely to deal with.
• Susan (9/5): -
• M&M (10/5): - The friendliness and sometimes funny personnel. .
• Paul (8/5): We enjoyed our stay at the hotel, but thought the food could have been better - We enjoyed our stay and the hotel was comfortable Although dinner was good we have eaten much better at similar hotels in New Zealand
• Cameron (10/5): -
• Logan (9/5): -
• Rungratchanee (8/5): - บรรยากาศรอบๆที่พักสวยงาม ก็อกน้าอ่างล้างหน้าส่วนน้ำเย็นกับน้ำร้อนแยกกันคนละตัว ใช้งานยุ่งยาก อยากให้ทั้งเย็นและร้อนผสมได้ในหัวก็อกเดียว
• Sheryl (10/5): I highly recommend the Cardrona Hotel. - Staying at the hotel was a perfect end to our day, visiting family in Wanaka and trying a tasting at the distillery on our way up the Crown range. The gardens and grounds were in bloom and looked amasing. The Mt Cook salmon and Royalburn lamb rump meal was exceptional.
• Tracey Louise (9/5): - Staff were very friendly and helpful, under pressure being so busy. We enjoyed access to Gardens, Hot tub, Fireplace, Lounge and Bar areas. Nothing really. Only that our two rooms booked were not close together, but not a drama.

• Chirgwin (10/5): - Favourite pub in South Island. Has character and comfort
• Sylmarc (10/5): Délicieusement traditionnel - Tout, l'emplacement, la qualité des repas, l'environnement et la disponibilité du personnel Rien
• Klaus (4/5): einfach überteuert für die Ausstattung - ein sehr kleines Zimmer, ohne Tisch und Stuhl

• David (9/5): Awesome - Very quiet room 15 Having to leave
• Elizabeth (10/5): -
• Amparo (6/5): - El sitio es curioso y el restaurante con los jardines es bonito, si vienes al restaurante, pero si vas al hotel y no al restaurante, deja mucho que desear. La parte de las habitaciones está pegada al jardín del restaurante por lo que el ruido y la música lo tienes dentro de la habitación. Le pedimos que bajara la música y la quito a las 9 de la noche, pero la gente hablando, la escuchas. La accesibilidad al hotel es horrorosa. Si dejas el coche enfrente del hotel tienes que cruzar la carretera nacional con las maletas y si lo dejas en el parking del hotel, tienes que llegar a la habitación cruzando la zona de restaurante y lleno de guijarros de jardín por lo que las maletas no ruedan, tienes que llevarlas a peso. La habitación super pequeña, abres la puerta, metes las maletas en el baño, ciertas la puerta y llegas a la cama. Solo tienes un calentador de leche dentro de un armario. Como restaurante es curioso, como hotel, un despropósito.
• Inlets (10/5): Loved it at the Cardrona Hotel, would definitely stay here again, Thanks to all the awesome staff. - The staff wer lovely, very accommodating, we arrived on a Harley Motorcycle and they gave us the carport to park in overnight. The food in the Restaurant was delicious (world Class) and the room was spacious, clean and comfortable with an awesome view. In the morning they opened up the gift shop early just for us. N/A
• 2KaTTs (10/5): - Our room was comfortable, had everything we needed (except maybe a fridge), the food was excellent, and the laundry room accessible and easy to use.
• cheryl (10/5): Will definitely return - Wonderful staff, lovely hotel outdoor area etc. value for money Nothing
• Alexandru (10/5): -
• Heather (10/5): You will not regret decision to stay here! - The Cardrona is one of those iconic historic hotels that is a "must do" on any trip to the area. The outdoors area is beautifully maintained, the gardens were stunning, the buildings are quaint and a wonderful example of early NZ, cutest gift shop with great selection of unique items. Fabulous dining opportunities. Some instructions on how to use the heating would've been helpful but otherwise no negatives.
• Brad (10/5): - Everything to like about this place, The room was very very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable. The meals were great. The hot tub was excellent Nothing
