Cardrona Hotel

Cardrona Hotel

8/10 Good
"Liked location, have stayed before and had a beautiful stay, this time, not so good, dinner very over cooked, and paid a lot for dinner, had to ask for music to be turned down so we could sleep after 10pm on a Sunday. Staff lovely but overall not like it used to be in the old days….but times are a changing and that is how the world works….but for the beautiful location which I worked my trip around to stay again…really disappointed."

Haka House Wanaka

10/10 Excellent
"Had a lovely stay! Everything was very clean and the bunk beds in the shared room did not squeak when people moved about. The staff were super helpful and friendly and the amenities worked well (good shower pressure, well organised kitchen space). Its in a good central location, and having the option to pay for parking (where surveillance cameras operated) was appreciated, even though there is plenty of parking available on side streets. My only hang-up was that the drying room (for ski gear) did not actually dry my gear very well - but the dorm rooms were dry and warm so things dried better hanging over the rail of the bunks. Thanks :)"
