Situated on the spectacular Crown Range Road between Queenstown and Wanaka, the Cardrona hotel is one of New Zealand’s oldest and most iconic hotels.  Its rustic charm, spectacular mountain setting and rich history make it a must see while in Central Otago. 

The hotel is rumoured to be the most photographed building in New Zealand. The historic facade hides an award-winning restaurant, legendary beer garden and charming hotel rooms. And the hotel is a favourite for both locals and travellers alike.

The restaurant — open for breakfast, lunch and dinner — offers fresh and flavoursome meals with a modern twist. You will find all your traditional pub favourites created from locally sourced ingredients here.

The wine list features top quality drops from some of the region’s best wineries, along with a great selection of both tap and bottled beers, ciders and locally distilled spirits. In winter, the après ski is legendary. And the sunny beer garden is the perfect summer time lunch spot.
