CARDRONA
Cardrona is a ski field just south of
Wanaka. This is a convert ski field where once experienced, under the
right conditions is respected as one of the best.
At the base of the ski field is the
historic town/location called Cardrona. The Cardrona Hotel is one of
the true Pub Icons in the pub vernacular. The Cardrona Hotel is a
micro business that to this day is extremely successful.
The famous photographs
  are
a veneer to a successful café, accommodation and bar business.
To quote from the Cardrona Website:-
‘Experience the rustic charm of the hotel's historic restaurant and
bar which has recently undergone extensive refurbishment. Catering for
groups of up to 120, or Al Fresco dining for 200, the Cardrona Hotel
selects only the freshest local produce to create a truly memorable
dining experience. An informal collection of artifacts and memorabilia
in the hotel gives a small glimpse into the extraordinary human
history of this area while creating themed surroundings to complete
your experience.’
Cardrona, the township is still
preserved through the historic buildings
that make the for all intents and purposes the street museum.
Once again we allow the photographs
relate the story.
