Great beer garden and food.
Super packed with people till around 6pm. Struggled getting to our rooms.
All meals were excellent
Location and the vibe. The new bakery is excellent. Good to have new tvs in rooms. Great heating and space in the rooms. Good pub food. Hot tub relaxing.
Bed by the window in room 6 needs replacing, it has a 45 degree slope on the mattress- just awful. Could do with a mirror even just inside wardrobe door.
Location and a good breakfast.
Needed a better curtain in the bathroom
Comfortable, quiet, clean rooms. Readily available dining. Friendly staff. The bakery has the best pies and cheese scones. While further away from towns (which is what we wanted) it isn't too far from wanaka and very convienient to head up to Cardrona ski park.
Love coming to the Cardrona hotel. Sitting by the fire there’s nothing better. Meals were great and staff super friendly.
Nothing
Cardrona Hotel is one of my favourite places on the planet. The location, the ambience, the professional friendliness of ALL the staff, its yummy offerings in the dining room from excellent coffee at breakfast to lamb shoulder (specially cooked without onions for us) is second to NONE.
Nothing could be better
Everything
Breakfast was very average . I had the porridge and it eas dreadful. The bao buns at night were fantastic however.
Nicely styled, inexpensive room in wonderful pub
Intrusive fan/appliance noise from bar at times
Warm clean rooms with character. Very comfy beds and pillows.
Liked it all!
Iconic pub in a unique location, high quality food and wine, comfortable room. Loved staying here! Such a good spot for hitting the slopes and so affordable. Highly recommend!
Comfortable room with all that we'd expected including a big fridge. Obviously the location was superb for skiing and acres ski but too noisy. Excellent food and drinks at the restaurant. Staff first class.
We were given a room near the road for morning traffic noise and next to the beer garden for noise from late afternoon until 10pm. Even a rainy day the music blasted out. If you came for acres ski then ideal Vos it just outside you room including tables also just outside the room door where people sat chatting over their meal and drinks.
Great place, bar and restaurant right next door. Historic building, nice room.
The shower didn't stay hot for long.
The authenticity of the building combined with amazing food in the resteraunt made for a perfect stay. The staff are also amazing.
Leaving
Gorgeous property, perfect spot for apres ski drinks and an amazing restaurant. Beautiful room and the hot tub was a welcome surprise!
The decor
No snow 😉
Great atmosphere. We arrived after a day of skiing and loved the beer garden. Was so cosy with all the outdoor fires and the food was amazing. The hot tub was such a bonus after skiing too.
Nothing
The rooms were quaint and beautifully appointed. They were cleaned daily and were warm without being over hot. The water ran hot and plentiful and the food at both the bar and the restaurant was fabulous.
Nothing
Dinner we had was very nice.
Staff were attentive and very hospitable. Loved the food
Couldn't find a fault
The hospitality, the amazing friendly staff, the location, the feeling. Everything was magical!
The hot water ran out quickly (family of 5)
Wonderful staff, wonderfully appointed, immaculately clean and cosy and excellent food and ambience.
We were in a room on the opposite side of the hotel parking lot and had to trek our bags across mud and uneven stones, through groups of people gathered for dinner and drinks at the hotel- it was a bit embarrassing- but we were also understanding that it's a historic setting and there's only so much that can be done about the layout/floors.
Truly breathtaking hotel. The staff, the food, the property all 5 stars and a must visit!!
We stayed in one of the villa next to the hotel. It is pretty new, comfortable,nice and super clean . Plenty places for a family of four in the ski trip. We also had a couple of dinners in the hotel, foods are exceptionally beautiful.
Nothing
It’s seriously cute, authentic, cosy and old. The staff were awesome, the food excellent and the little extras like the spa, the outside fire etc all added to the experience.
Nothing really.
Perfect location for Cardrona resort, super quick to get to mountain and back again.
We didn’t like that there wasn’t a preference in the restaurant given to hotel guests. It often felt like we were an inconvenience.
Very unique, quaint but very comfortable and the staff couldn’t do more for you
Nothing
Its a must stay because its unique. The hot tub was a winner too! No ghost issues. And brekky pastries from the new bakery were top notch.
It has character, staff were very attentive without being overkill, restaurant food was delicious, room very well appointed & extremely comfortable - overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
No negatives
$211 in Matariki wasn't expecting much when the $300 hotel the previous night only gave us a bed. No speck of dust, refurbished while retaining the historic charm. Loved the hot tub and vibe.
Nothing
Tout était super, l’hôtel et les équipements, le personnel et le restaurant
It’s beautiful and has character. Lovely setting.
The steak meal was very expensive but chewy unfortunately- everything else was good.
Loved the hot tub, that was a pleasant surprise. Rooms were great. Beds so plush. Staff really friendly. Food delicious. Outdoor area with the open fire was so great.
Nothing
The original historic set up.
Nothing that we didn’t like.
It’s a beautiful and historic property and I enjoyed it very much.
No complaints.
The staff were incredible. The food in the restaurant was amazing and a big selection for a small hotel. There was 9 of us staying across 4 rooms within the hotel and we all had a great stay.
Dinner was wonderful with excellent choice and beautiful produce. Room was very clean and all staff helpful. We love the rustic setting and history and location.
Friendly, helpful, attentive and warm staff. Clean room. Hot water bottle, heating, free tea, coffee, shower products.

The quaintness and the little touches like the blankets and the hot water bottle.
The dining room was rather noisy as there was a large group in for dinner
The area was so pretty
The man at reception hit us instantly with we will need your credit card and check out is 10am before we’d put our bags down found he was rather rude rest of the staff were great
I loved the character and charm of Cardrona Hotel.
None
Location was great
Couldn’t get any wifi/data in our room
Friendly, welcoming staff, food and wine selection excellent - had a wonderful stay and can’t fault the service.
Everything was fine.
THIS IS AN ICONIC PLACE AND VERY POPULAR. I LOVED THAT WE COULD BOOK ACCOMMODATION HERE. THE BEER GARDEN WITH HUGE OPEN FIRE WAS FABULOUS ON A COLD NIGHT. THE OPEN FIRE AND LOUGES INSIDE WERE GREAT TO MOVE TO ONCE THE SUN WENT DOWN. THE MEAL WAS GOOD AND THE ROOMS CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE. FREINDLY AND HELPFUL STAFF.
NOTHING, IT WAS BETTER THAN I EXPECTED.
Location
Lovely staff Upgraded to a Villa which was fabulous
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.
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
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.
Fabulous location Food awesome Reception , wait staff great. Lovely hot pool
Would be good to have a decent tv in the room
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.
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
Very comfortable and friendly, helpful staff.
Could not park near accommodation.
Everything was fantastic. Food and staff were outstanding
Having to leave
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.
Hôtel historique, très bien entretenu! Les chambres sont super confortables! Le personnel est accueillant et aux petits soins! Quelle chance d’y avoir séjourné!
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.
