"( 58km from Queenstown ) Getting to Cardrona is easy, no matter where you’re staying! Located in the heart of the Southern Alps, we’re a short drive from Wānaka, Queenstown & Arrowtown. Our aim is to reduce emissions so we encourage carpooling, or even better, let us drive you – with regular daily buses from Queenstown & Wānaka we can get you right to the front door & onto the snow faster!"

"One of New Zealand's most popular ski fields! The road to Cadrona is a windy, gravel road so be careful driving. There are also shuttle bus options leaving from Wanaka for $20NZD if this is a better option for you."
