Accommodation options include lakeside apartments and boutique hotels all with spectacular views.

Cardrona Alpine Resort is 40 minutes by coach from Wanaka and just over an hour from Queenstown. This is a fun, family friendly ski resort and the perfect place for beginners and intermediates, with a gondola and easy-to-use surface lifts plus plenty of wide-open trails spread over three basins. They also offer the most extensive terrain park facilities in the Southern Hemisphere.  Group lessons ensure everyone improves their skier or snowboarding ability and there is plenty of room to practice your new skills. With eight different cafes operating on snow you are well catered for when you need to refuel.
