Once the centre of the 1800’s gold mining industry, Cardrona is now famous for adventure sports and epic scenery. Located just 20 minutes from Wanaka, this South Island hamlet is home to New Zealand’s only cross country skiing and the world class Cardrona Alpine Resort. Family friendly horse treks and quad bike tours run year round, and the iconic Cardrona Hotel (as seen in the Speights beer ads!) has a cold drink waiting for you. All of Bachcare's Cardrona accommodation are pre-inspected prior to your arrival and are ready for instant online booking.
