We booked one night at Edgewater on Wotif.com. While this was cheaper than booking via the hotel it was still quite expensive relative to other hotels we stayed in in NZ. Certainly the location is lovely, our unit was absolute lakefront. The unit itself was disappointing though. It was quite small and was reached by a climb up a narrow... more

Situated on a delightful waterfront location with lush green lawns and walks along the bay for the more energetic. The bedrooms are widely dispersed over the location as the hotel was originally intended as a time-share location. My room was facing the water and was clean and functional. Tea making and Internet connection provided although there was no air-conditioning or... more

That was a gorgeous stay for our family in Wanaka. Being mislead we booked another hotel in the town but left it very quickly the next morning. When we arrived here we were very happy and delighted with our decision. We traveled with two sons age of 5 y.o. and 10 months. And for all of us with location near... more

We splurged to stay here, and it was worth it. Great central location. Splendid rooms. Helpful staff. Filling breakfast buffet. more

We intended to stay 2 nights and stayed 3 because we liked it so much. It was a perfect location to recover from traveling for 10 days. Comfortable separate apartment with lake view, washing machine and kitchen, at a good value. A home away from home. One minor concern: Ask for an upstairs unit, since steps from above can be... more

Lake Wanaka is beautiful and the Edgewater sits right on the lake's edge in a landscape of verdant grass and massive trees. The on-site restaurants serve NZ dishes well, but the sushi was disappointing. We enjoyed the lamb & venison however. The staff helped arrange for an in-room massage and was generally very helpful. The furniture is not special, but... more

We found the accomodation very clean but mediocre, not one of our memorable overnight stays in South Island. The decor was tired and the bed and pillows rather past their best. Having read on the hotel website about the gourmet food etc I have to say we were disappointed both with dinner and breakfast. Dinner was too fussy, with clashing... more

I stayed 5 nights here and really enjoyed it. It is a lovely property, very nice rooms with kitchen and living room and balcony overlooking the lake. It was like all the stress just flowed out instantly on arrival. The breakfast was the same each day but that is to be expected, although they had a very nice homemade stewed... more

Very nice, clean comfortable resort style hotel. A little far away from the main street in Wanaka. That was the only dissapointment as every day we were there and wanted to go into town, we had to drive a few minutes. You could actually walk along the lakefront to reach the center of town. It would be about a 20... more

What a fantastic find! I stayed there with my wife and daughter in Feb 07, in a lakefront one-bedroom suite. The patio doors opened onto a beautiful grass lawn leading directly to Lake Wanaka. The views were incredible. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, particularly the reception staff and manager of the bar restaurant. I asked her to recommend... more
