Hotel racks up over 130k views
Interest has been high in the Cardrona Hotel. PHOTO: SUPPLIED The listing for the iconic Cardrona Hotel has been the third-most viewed property on Trade Me this year as the sale comes to an end on Friday. The 162-year-old hotel and restaurant located between Wānaka and Queenstown went on the market over a month ago and has had over 130,000 views on Trade Me. A spokesperson for the auction site said this was the third-highest number of views they had seen all year right behind Christchurch's Ark House and Paul Henry's mansion in Auckland. Cardrona Hotel owners Cade and Alexis Thornton said they had narrowed their discussions down to eight groups, after receiving interested buyers from New Zealand, Australia, the United States and Singapore. "Each group are fantastic operators with a background in hospitality or hotels," Ms Thornton said. "Alexis and I are confident that we'll find a highly skilled and experienced publican who will do great things for the hotel." Trade Me Property spokeswoman Casey Wylde previously said although it would be difficult to estimate the price the hotel would be sold for, it was expected to sell for more than the average asking price in Wānaka, which was $1,558,950 last month. PHOTO: SUPPLIED Trade Me property customer director Gavin Lloyd said given the hotel has proved to be such a landmark, it would be hard to put a potential price tag on it. "Its charm, history and stunning location are undoubtedly driving its popularity. "The Cardrona Hotel is more than just a property, it's an opportunity to own a much-loved and recognised Kiwi icon." There has also been strong interest from global media, with the Cardrona Hotel appearing in the news around the world, from Australia to Iceland. "It has been really nice to see that almost all the interested parties already have an emotional connection to the hotel and have visited or stayed with us in the past," Mr Thornton said. Expressions of interest for the sale of the freehold going concern close at 4pm on Friday.

Funding HQ Urges Community Sector To Oppose Online Casino Bill
Funding HQ, one of Aotearoa's fastest-growing online fundraising platforms, is calling on all community groups to make a submission against the Government's proposed Online Casino Bill before the 17 August deadline. The Bill, if passed, will allow up to 15 international online casino operators to be licensed in New Zealand—with no obligation to return any profits to Kiwi communities. 'Thousands of organisations rely on funding from the current community gaming model,' says Funding HQ founder and veteran fundraiser Jenni Giblin. 'This Bill risks replacing that model with one that sends profits offshore while our local sports clubs, rescue services, and charities are left to fend for themselves.' Under the current system, $366 million is distributed each year by 33 gaming societies to support nearly 9,000 organisations. In 2024 alone, that included: $170 million for sport $73 million for community development $48 million for health and welfare $20 million for arts and heritage projects 'The sector cannot afford to lose this critical funding stream—especially when operating costs are rising and government support is shrinking. To call community gaming grants a 'perverse consequence' is a dangerous misreading of the real pressures community organisations are under,' says Giblin Funding HQ has published a free guide to help charities and community groups make a submission. It takes less than 10 minutes and could help protect one of the country's most important funding pipelines. To make a submission before 17 August, visit: Launched in early 2023, Funding HQ is one of New Zealand's fastest-growing e-learning platforms, providing fundraising training and support to over 200 charities across the social services, arts and culture, environmental, and sports sectors. In response to growing demand from the education sector, Funding HQ recently launched FundED—a tailored subscription-based programme designed to help schools build long-term, sustainable fundraising capability through expert guidance, tools, and training.
