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.

Just 4 minutes’ drive from Lake Wanaka, the property features free WiFi and barbecue facilities. Sandra and her mom are SO friendly and helpful. We loved our stay. She made it feel like home. The living room was nice to relax in a rainy day. The room was big and clean. Would definitely stay again.

Each of these stylish self-contained holiday apartments includes a fireplace. Guests can relax in the hot tub or seasonal outdoor heated pool. Guests enjoy access to free WiFi.

Wanaka Luxury Apartments are situated only 600 metres from the shores of Lake Wanaka. The ski fields at Cardrona Alpine Resort and Treble Cone Ski Area are just 35 minutes’ drive away. The room was very pretty and very comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor space with the hot tub and fireplace one evening since the weather was so pleasant. The walk into town takes about 10 minutes but it's a lovely walk and the neighborhood is beautiful with many nice homes and yards.

Opened in January 2017, the adults only Cromwell Escape is located 3.7 km from Central Otago District Council in Cromwell and only 100 meters from the new Lake Dunstan cycle trail. Cromwell Escape features free WiFi access. The owners were friendly and helpful. The rooms are excellent. Being by a small sheltered arm of the lake was an added bonus for bird watching and paddle boarding. Kayaks were also available. A BBQ area was available. A spa and small pool were available. Bike and walking tracks were nearby. Close to Cromwell for many restaurant choices when not using the BBQ.
