This was a historic property so we didn’t expect things to be perfect. The one unimportant thing that was annoying was the bathroom mirror.You could only see in it if you were 6’6 and I’m 5’2. Luckily there was a large mirror in the bedroom. The grounds of this hotel had beautiful gardens and lots of historic artifacts. The dining room served delicious meals, as well. It was an enjoyable stay.

The place it's a nice stylish property. Only problem was the noise from outside what the other guests made late night. The place good for people who want to have a nice dinner at the restaurant/bar & want to stay for a night. Only for travelers maybe it won't be the best choice. Thanks

I got a small room which I knew when I booked. It did however have the basics of TV, comfy bed and most importantly private bathroom. The pub was good for a beverage or two.

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!
