Cardrona Hotel 3.5 stars

Cardrona

Cardrona Hotel features an iconic on-site restaurant and bar. You can enjoy the picturesque gardens while sipping a drink on the patio. This hotel features a hot tub, a ski drying room and shared lounge and laundry facilities. The hotel is instagrammable overall with every nook and cranny beautifully decorated with touches of a past era. The room smells good, the bed and mattress are comfortable (my daughter didn't want to get up!), the towels are thick & clean, the garden is beautiful and filled with flowers, and even the room window has flowers planted outside so it was a pretty sight even from inside the room. The dinner at the garden surrounded with these colorful blooms was a delight. The bar & restaurant staff are polite, friendly and attentive. I like that there is a self-service laundry room available for guests to use for a minimum fee. Parking is also available.

The accommodation offers a barbecue. Guests at Driftaway Queenstown will be able to enjoy activities in and around Queenstown, like skiing. We stayed in one of the cabins and we absolutely loved it here. We booked Driftaway last minute due to a canceled flight so we only had one night here but we wished we had more. We travelled New Zealand for almost a month and this was the most comfortable and most well equipped place we stayed! The staff were so welcoming and really went above and beyond. The wifi was strong and smart tv was fantastic. The bathroom, shower and shower products were wonderful. The laundry room on site was very useful, especially being able to pay by card . They really have thought of everything on this property we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The view of the lake was breathtaking too! We hope to come to Queenstown again and when we do this will be our first choice!
