Overall good stay with newly renovated rooms. But the room lack of amenities and the renovation seems incomplete. For example, the shower gel is placed on the floor and there is no ledge. The area is beautiful facing the lake and you can walk around it. But it’s a bit far to walk to city centre. Nice and friendly stuff!

Lovely location
Fabulous experience, Great Location right on lake, nice easy Check in, lovely helpful staff, Room was perfect and just what we booked. We used the spa and sauna both awesome and easy to use just have to warm up sauna before using, so we sat in spa while we waited. Walked round lake into town to get a coffee in morning and watched the sun rise at 8.30am.

Amazing resort
We absolutely loved our stay at Edgewater Resort, and would highly recommend this resort to anyone staying in Wanaka. We had a premium suite, and had lake access straight off our patio. The suite had everything you could want or need, and the bed was seriously the most comfortable we have slept on. If you live a soft bed that you feel like you are just melting into, you will love this place. It’s an easy 10 minute walk to the Wanaka tree and 15- 20 minutes into town if you want to walk it. This will definitely be on our “must stay again” list.

We got a lake front room which was a real treat for us. Staff are really lovely and helpful. Sauna and hottub were appreciated after long hikes. No coffee machine in the room but their restaurant provides all day service with barista coffee and other drinks. Rooms a bit noisy as not sound proof so expect to hear your neighbours if they talk loudly.

Great location, but becoming a bit dated.
You can’t beat the location of this hotel and the beautiful view of the trees and lake, but the hotel did feel more dated than I expected. The bathroom especially is in need of a remodel. However, it was still a pleasant experience overall.

Great location and view, nice 20 min walk to Wanaka. Very friendly and service orientated staff. Were very pragmatic in resolving an issue caused by an external booking website. Doing a major upgrade so a couple things werent available. But should obviously be available soon. Will be my first choice when returning to Wanaka.

Great spot
Edgewater is in a fantastic location. We have stayed here a lot of the years. It's quiet and very handy to tracks and town. The staff are friendly and helpful. I have to say though that it lacks any Vibe at all, it its just missing atmosphere.

We travelled NZ for 10 days and this was the only hotel where we did not enjoy our stay. The purpose of our visit to Wanaka was to hike Roy's Peak. The staff were not able to assist us with any information or obtaining water for our hike. They were located away from town and the day we checked in they closed their restaurant at 2pm due to staff shortage and nothing was available to eat or drink for the rest of the day. Also we had to haul our luggage ourselves across the large parking lot to a second floor room that did not have air conditioning.
