Best Hotels in Cardrona, New Zealand

I originally booked a hotel at random, but unexpectedly, it was surprisingly good! I wanted to book a hotel in Wanaka, but they were all fully booked, so I settled on the Cardrona Hotel between Wanaka and Queenstown! After arriving, I found it on the side of the highway, which was quite disappointing, but! I was shocked when I entered the hotel! There are restaurants and bars in the hotel, all with very retro decoration. Later I learned that the hotel has a history of more than 150 years! The garden behind the hotel is particularly beautiful! Recommended!

We keep returning to Shades of Arrowtown because it is just perfect for our needs. The cottage ( no. 10) was spacious, comfy couch, a place to hang clothes, a comfy king sized bed and the ensuite had a spa bath. 2 days after it snowed, we sat outside on the deck to enjoy the spring sunshine and then moved into the shade when it got too warm. Shades of Arrowtown is so well positioned, it makes walking to all the cafes and restaurants so easy. Brenda is an absolute sweetie. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you Brenda

很英式的MOTEL，雖然在同類型汽車旅館裏算貴的。老闆熱情，主動介紹箭鎮。房間熱水壓力很大，床墊很舒服。

The rooms are immaculately clean, the place very quiet and gives you easy access to all Queenstown and surrounds has to offer. I would make a point of it to stay here if I ever get down to the South Island again. The owners can rightly be proud of their establishment.

A fabulous start to our New Zealand vacation. Full of character and very large room which even included a washing machine and tumble dryer! We were made most welcome right from the start, and the breakfast is of the highest quality. Arrowtown is much quieter and more relaxed than nearby Queenstown and that suited us perfectly. If you are looking for a place to stay that has all the advantages of being located near to Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu but offers quiet comfort, then you can’t do any better than stay here.

Beautifully manicured grounds, stunning views! The lodges are very well appointed, extremely spacious with luxury twin basined bathroom, separate sleeping area, which can be divided off from the lounge/seating area. Small sink and fridge provided with adequate tea/coffee making facilities. There is also a lovely gas flamed fire, which can operate for visual effect, or to warm the lodge, fabulous to sit by if the weather is not so good. Without exception, the staff were more than helpful, welcoming, engaging and couldn't do enough for you, providing recommendations for our onward journey of views, restaurants etc. Breakfast was provided at an additional cost, freshly prepared to order, although we felt the cost of this could have been included given the price of the accommodation. Dining in the restaurant was very good, dishes beautifully presented and well cooked. We tried the complimentary wine tasting, which we thought was a little underwhelming, being offered only 1 white, 1 rose and 1 red to sample, all entry level, with the suggestion to pay for the next level wine tour and tasting. Unfortunately, this was not possible for us due to timings of our visit and ongoing travel commitments. We had wanted to sample wines to select something to have alongside evening dinner, but this was not possible to do. A fabulous place with exceptional staff but a couple of minor disappointments.

This golf resort is a place to relax and enjoy a picturesque and beautiful plan and environment. You can walk to Arrowtown for sightseeing and dining. There are many hiking trails nearby. There are lawn stream ducks at the door of the house. Stayed for three days The two nights were not boring at all, and there were free shuttle buses to Arrowtown and Queenstown, which was very good.

We chose this hotel because we expected to enjoy its winery/food. Otherwise, we should have stayed in Queenstown with a lot of restaurants and pubs. As we would arrive in the early evening, we put a note for our hope for experiencing their winery and food (or at least finger foods) when we booked the hotel, and received email that they cannot guarantee but will do their best to serve our need. Since then, no email was sent to us. When we arrived at the hotel around 6 pm, no one was in the information desk, so we had to go to the bistro to find out that they left the key in a safe box without any notice or sending us any email with its password. We had to wait a while for the bistro lady to make a phone call to whom it concerns, which was okay. Worse, we heard that their bistro was reserved for a group event so we could not use the facility at all. We had to drive 15 minutes to a nearby town and bought foods from a supermarket. I think the hotel should have notified us of impossibility of using their bistro/food service due to the group event and we have to prepare for our food. As I checked out, I left a note about the issues, and expected they would send me an email to express their sincere apology. Unfortunately nothing happened so far. Although I liked the room as well as the whole place very much, I think Kinross cottage needs professionalism to run their stay program. It could have been much nicer, memorable stay experience.
