The Cardrona Hotel, established in 1863, is one of New Zealand's oldest hotels and a significant remnant of the Cardrona Valley gold rush era. It is one of only two remaining buildings from this period, preserving the historical essence of the once-thriving township.
History
[edit]The settlement of Cardrona began in the 1860s, driven by the discovery of gold in the surrounding hills. During this period, the Cardrona Hotel was one of four hotels in the township, offering accommodation, livery services, and serving as a coaching stop for miners and itinerant travelers.[1][failed verification]
Through the 1870s and 1880s, Cardrona remained a significant commercial hub, although its fortunes waned as the gold boom diminished. By the 1890s, the once-bustling township had reduced to a small settlement of farmers raising cattle. The Cardrona Hotel and the All Nations Hotel were the only two hotels that remained, along with two stores and a blacksmith's shop. Due to a timber shortage, many buildings were transported to the nearby township of Pembroke, later renamed Wanaka.
Facade
[edit]The Cardrona Hotel's historic facade is a well-preserved representation of the now-vanished township of Cardrona. Its picturesque setting and historical charm make it one of the most photographed pubs in New Zealand.[2]
