    Beautiful place and lovely hosts. Breakfast was also delicious. Decided on an early dinner at Cardrona hotel as I was tired from cycling all day and Anne, the hostess offered to drive me there and pick me up after dinner.

    A beautifully quiet place - perfect for a romantic getaway. The property is run by wonderful local people who pay great attention to detail. The room includes toiletries and a bathrobe, making it comfortable to head to the hot tub. The breakfast is delicious - you feel pampered and taken care of as if you're in a movie, yet somehow it also feels like home :) There's a nice walk near the lodging which we recommend before breakfast :)

    High quality BnB in the furnishings, the common areas, the breakfast/ dinner room. Great places to sit or stroll outside, with a view of the mountains. The host provided a top notch breakfast along with extras such as wine in the afternoon. The house is set beautifully among trees and flowers. We enjoyed the distillery tour, which is very close by. We would definitely return.

    I would recommend to book early to get the en-suite bathroom. Ours was across the hall which was a bit niggly but helped by the spa bath there. Also dressing gowns were provided.

    The property is a little oasis on the Cardrona highway. Beautiful area. The house is very modern and the breakfast was outstanding.

    Breakfast was excellent with a wide array of things to choose from depending on your on taste. We met 2 other couples who were very interesting and enjoyed spending some extra time around the breakfast table to find out more about each other. A very enjoyable morning.

    Great location from Queenstown and nearby tourist spot. Stunning house and impeccable hospitality. Health breakfast. If time permit, try the in-house 3 course dinning experience, better than star restaurant especially when you can learn about the local news from two wonderful host

    Nothing. Was the perfect stay.

    It was a little off the main road setting it back looking over a farm. Was quiet and beautiful. Breakfast was magnificent. They had everything you would need. Daughter is gluten free and was happy and content. Although we Al sat together they made you feel special individually with pots of tea and coffee for you.
