The Cardrona Hotel is a classic Kiwi spot that you’ll want to check out when you’re in the area. It’s one of New Zealand’s oldest and most iconic pubs, with a relaxed, friendly vibe that makes it a perfect place to kick back after a day of exploring.

The building itself is full of character, and the outdoor seating is great when the sun’s out. It’s also pretty close to some great hiking and skiing spots, so it’s an ideal pit stop if you’re heading to Cardrona Alpine Resort or taking a drive through the nearby mountains.
