Liked: We booked the Cardrona Studio for a winter escape and were blown away. Self check-in was seamless – key and welcome note waiting – and host John’s messages made us feel looked after from the start.

Liked: It was such a beautiful room. One of the most comfortable beds we've slept in! All the amenities were perfect.
Disliked: The toilet in room next to bed had a broken button and didn't flush, thankfully there was another toilet in bathroom!! Also found it too warm at night as there was only french doors and no windows to open.

Liked: So clean, warm, cozy, and inviting place. Pool in summer months, sauna and hot tub/spa. Owners are amazing. We missed meeting them, but recieved a message thanking us after leaving! Electric blankets on bed, towel warmer, and heated tiles in bathroom! Perfect in winter, and the views of the snow ripped mountains just set the scene beautifully. The location is just far enough from the crowds in Queenstown, with local shops just down the road for all your necessities.
Disliked: There is NOTHING you can not like about this place. It is perfect 👌
