The chalet in Cardrona was a fantastic retreat! The accommodation was even better than expected since the photos only begin to capture the charm of the location. The kitchenette was larger than expected and stocked generously with delicious jams, breads, juices, eggs, coffee, etc. We loved sleeping under the sky lights which showcase the stars. The hot tub was excellent to unwind after daily hikes, and the sounds of the birds were dreamy. We loved the hosts who were friendly, helpful and communicative. We booked a wonderful dinner cooked by Blythe and it was a favorite of our time in NZ. Cardrona is a spectacular under the radar place with access to the wonders of both Wanaka and Queenstown and I would recommend this escape for anyone passing through. Thanks!!!
