The is an alpine ski area w/ resort/ restaurants. In summer, it doubles as mountain bike terrain, and for carting tracks. On a hot summer day (as happened this past summer many a time) it is at least 10C cooler on the mountaintop as compared...More
Thanks so much for taking the time to write us a review, Uhuru966! We're so glad you enjoyed your time up on the mountain - hope to see you again soon!
Went with friends mountain carting. Was awesome!! The crew are super helpful and the carting was so much fun. Sadly only 1 track was open. But I'm sure it was temperaury. Can't wait to go back.👍😁More
Hi Addam! We're so stoked you had an awesome time carting. Yep, unfortunately you did visit us when we temporarily only had 1 of our 3 cart tracks open - it's great to hear you enjoyed it regardless! We can't wait to see you again...More
This review is not about the place but if you are driving at your own, book this resort only if you are an expert driver for driving on the hilly road. The road is not well constructed and you have to drive for almost 12kms....More
Hi arorajianil! Thanks so much for taking the time to give us feedback. We're sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience driving up our road - although it is a high alpine road, it has been built wide & not overly steep to...More
Great idea to cart down the ski field in the off season , very enjoyable but I would recommend cutting the price to $50pp to get more people up in the off season. 2 hours was plenty of time and the staff were lovely ....More
Hi jtm7! Thanks so much for taking the time to write us a review :) We're stoked you had a good time & we'll see you again soon!
This place is amazing! We visited on a sunny summers day (still only 6 degrees on arrival though!) for some mountain carting and it was a whole lot of fun! The drive up the long windy road was spectacular enough but when you reach the...More
Hi Paulie! We're so chuffed you had a great time mountain carting up here at Cardrona! We hope to see you guys up here again soon :)
Due to last-minute changes in our itinerary, we were unable to stargaze at Mt. Cook. After a quick online search, we found the Cardrona Alpine Resort stargazing experience. Alex’s knowledge and enthusiasm of astronomy are infectious – it was wonderful to listen to his presentation...More
Hi there! We're SO stoked you had a great time on our stargazing tour with Alex... & we agree, he'd do a great job as Earth's representative ;) Hope to see you back up here again soon!
We were foolishly trying to wing it, booking accommodation day-to-day on a recent road trip around the South Island, that happened to coincide with the Chinese New Year and Cyclone Gita. CNY meant every reasonably-priced room, but one loft at Cardrona was booked out and...More
Hi Olli! We're stoked you managed to find a spot to stay with us - hope you enjoyed the unexpected snow too!!
My wife & I had a few days to spare around Wanaka, & came across a flyer for a stargazing experience at the Cardrona Alpine Resort. As others have already said, take it easy driving up the dirt switchbacks to the resort (rabbits everywhere.. ),...More
Thank you so much for your great review, David!! We're so chuffed you had a great time on our Stargazing tour - we'll pass on your kind words to Alex & his team. Hope to see you up on the mountain again soon!
Treat the 14k road up with respect as it is corrugated, loose gravel, you lose sight of gutters on the inside of hairpin corners and often no railing between you and the drop off. That said it is well worth the drive. Walking tracks, cart...More
Hi Nonapama! Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. It's lovely to hear you had a good time up here this summer - hope to see you in winter too :)
We are a family of 7 and on our way to Wanaka we want Carting. I got a great deal on bookme. The views are stunning and the carting was extremely fun and for all ages. We would definitely recommend going out of your comfort...More
