“Edgewater Hotel excels with its lakefront location, putting guests steps from Wanaka's natural beauty. Upgraded rooms deliver contemporary comfort, while the on-site dining, especially at Sargoods Restaurant, focuses on quality.

Adequate Location, Dated Rooms

The hotel's location proved acceptable.
The room lacked proper air conditioning, unpleasant. The room interior felt very basic and was quite old. Getting a dinner reservation at the hotel restaurant proved difficult, despite the restaurant not appearing full at the time.

The setting overlooking the lake created an really good tranquil atmosphere. A walkway in front leads to the township after a short walk. our room was modern, clean, and warm. Beautiful gardens and manicured lawns surrounded the resort, i thought the facilities were lovely, and enjoyed my stay .
The room was a bit of a walk from the town centre. the lakefront path helped shorten the distance.
