Cardrona Holidays

Property is well situated up the hill from downtown Queenstown. Our room was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. We met several interesting fellow travelers at wine time. It was fabulous place to land and recharge after touring from north to south.

The only niggle was that it was difficult to contact the night manager when we had a problem but when she arrived she was really helpful

Very small space considering the price. Also, please provide the right type of coffee for the French coffee press which was in the room.

Very clean spacious room with a lovely small balcony with views of the gondola. Nice decor and lots of unexpected freebies. Free soft drinks, crisps, popcorn, and chocolate covered marshmallow fish. There is a happy hour between 5 and 6 with everything free including beers and wine, plus a platter of snacks including cold meats, cheeses, olives, sun-dried tomato, pickles, bread, cashew nuts, peanuts, and an assortment of confectionery. We were made very welcome at check-in and everything was explained to us. There is a car parking charge of $20, which is well worth it, but there are only 5 spaces available. On street parking is available near the hotel, but we didn't see a free space during our 2 night stay.

Everything was good. The room is big and clean and the free breakfast is convenient. The only downside of this hotel was that the queue for checkout was unnecessarily long. There was not enough staff to facilitate check out and the process caused frustration amongst guests.
