The Edgewater Resort is located right on lake Wanaka and the restaurant has lovely views across the water to the mountains beyond. We don’t normally choose hotel restaurants as they often seem somewhat sterile. However as the Edgewater was just a short walk from where we were staying and we were tired after a long day we decided to give... More

Great resort right near the lake at Wanaka with easy 20 minute walk into township. Very relaxing with lots of water activities in summer and skiing in winter. The 2 bedroom villas are fully equipped and make for a very economical family holiday. Worthwhile visits - Puzzling World (not just for kids) and Toy & Transport Museum

My wife and I had the good fortune of being in Wanaka for two nights, in truly gorgeous weather. The Edgewater Resort is located right on Lake Wanaka. The exterior landscaping is stunning, with large grassy grounds and beautiful ponds, which host all manner of wildlife, especially ducks and herons. One can step off the Edgewater grounds at the lakefront... More

Recommended by a friend who lives locally. good choice, and we offered a good rate when we rang the night before, for a nice room. In one of the adjacent buildings on top (first floor).

We stayed in February and would recommend the resort. Bedrooms were basic but clean and offered great views over the lake. Dinner was good and service excellent. Breakfast let them down a bit as very little fresh fruit or pastries ( all looked fresh from the freezer!) but I would stay here again for location. Also a free computer which... More

This resort is somehow deceptive from the first impressions. It is a very large resort with a lot going on and yet it manages to be very tranquil. The views are gorgeous, the room spotlessly clean and lovely linen! Another place with a stuffy room and no air con but an open window solved the issue and no noise from... More
