Edgewater Hotel

Our large King room overlooked a lovely duck pond with Lake Wanaka beyond. Large elegant old property with restaurants / bar facilities. Our bed was super comfortable and the shower has plenty of hot water. Property is located along a nice walking path along Lake Wanaka that is 5 minutes walk to the "Wanaka Tree" (which is super popular) and a bit on down the path is the town center. We ate supper in the hotel restaurant - food was very good and SUPER THANKS to Rest. Manager Autumn Wang for taking such good care of us. We also ate the morning breakfast buffet - which was GREAT.

The whole experience was amazing. Although it was only one night, I can tell that Edgewater is an amazing place to stay. The king-size hotel room was the perfect size for me and my partner with a lovely view looking over the whole hotel grounds and up at the snow-covered mountains. All of the staff were so kind and accommodating and yes thats their job, but the lovely lady at the front desk even recommended the paradiso cinema for us to visit in the evening and it was so perfect, best recommendation ever. I would 100% recommend edgewater to anyone looking for a beautiful, cozy, but still luxe place to stay in a perfect location in Wanaka. Thank you for accommodating us in our first time in Wanaka, and I hope to stay there again in the future.

Great to have rooms close together & near spa; love that face cloths still provided & robes were a treat; views, as always, gorgeous. Helpful when we discovered that there was no oven in room, as had been told, gave us access to unit with oven, close by, which was much appreciated.

We didn't know what to expect from this hotel and we were very pleasantly surprised at how good it is. The room was actually an apartment and it was very spacious. Very comfy bed. There was a combined washing machine/ dryer. We didn't use it, mainly because it looked super complicated and we were only there for one night and didn't want to risk not getting the dryer to work. It would have been helpful if there had some basic instructions available. There is a double hot plate and some pans etc so you can cook a meal if you wish. There is a nice restaurant and cafe. We had coffee by the lake at the outdoor patio when we arrived and it was lovely. Wanaka was beautiful. We loved it. It has much more "soul" than Queenstown and the walk by the lake is really picturesque. We had dinner at Spice Road in town - very, very good. Highly recommended. This is a very comfortable hotel, very tastefully furnished with friendly staff.

Excellent setting beside Lake Wānaka. Well cared for grounds. Lovely placement of restaurant and bar to enjoy the views. Very relaxing. Good service in the restaurant.
