Can’t quite stretch to buying the Cardrona Hotel itself (yes, it’s on the market)? Don’t worry – here’s your chance to still own a slice of its history.

This original 1904 Cardrona Hotel ledger belonged to my great-great-grandfather and is packed with handwritten transactions, names, and day-to-day goings-on from over 120 years ago. It’s a real glimpse into life in the gold rush’s afterglow and the early days of Central Otago hospitality. * Year: 1904 * Full of original handwritten entries * Condition: Remarkably good for its age, with that proper “antique” character * Perfect for NZ history buffs, collectors, or anyone who loves Cardrona’s charm

One-of-a-kind. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Own a page (or 300) of Cardrona’s story – and you won’t have to stock the bar or do the dishes.
