We were up on the mountain last Saturday. What a warm sunny day. Big thanks to Lisa our Austrian instructor. The family had a ball and glad our 14 and 16 year old teenagers were able to join us in the beginner classes. The boys picked it up well thanks to Lisa’s instructions and was so patient with the giraffe that I was. We never skied before and we definitely will look at a ski strip again soon. Thanks Cardrona.
Haha, who doesn't love a giraffe on skis?! Thank you for this review Justin. We'll be sure to pass on the kind words to Lisa.
Lots of time wasting standing around waiting for instructors to chat. Could not hear the instructor and then he’d stop and get on his phone. 2 runs down the mountain and we stopped once each time to get an instruction. Disappointing
We're so sorry to hear you had a bad experience with one of our instructors. If you'd be willing to provide more information about your booking and experience, please email marketing@realnz.com. We will follow this with ski school and would love the opportunity to make things right.

Our first time skiing and we left the fields skiing confidently all thanks to our wonderful instructors..the views were amazing..well worth it for sure
I just wish to say thank you to the Cardrona team. This was only our 2nd time up there and we are still pretty new to skiing. The 1st time we stood in the wrong queues on a really busy day and missed half of our lessons. Our kids were a but upset at all the waiting and not keen to go back. But they offered us a do over at no cost! And Kyle and the team up on the mountain kept an eye on us to make sure we were ok. Wow, who does that anymore? Very very impressed! Big thanks to Bridget, Rachael, Kyle and the amazing team of instructors and kindy teachers up on the slopes. You are awesome. All the best from James Regina Ezekiel and Sofia.
Ski Instructors were awesome! My kids loved their lessons and progressed heaps during their time at Cadrona.
Excellent experience, kids and husband thoroughly enjoy the skiing, people , safeness and positive interpersonal skills. Staff are extremely helpful and patient. Road is really safe to travel up especially for me and if you need help there seems to be help when needed. People are friendly, polite and do not mind having a conversation. A company needs to sponsor the complex with some serious internet signal! Great opportunity for everyone. But if you haven't got internet then one just needs to get out skiing and enjoy the amazing environment!
