The stay
What to know about this stay.
Edgewater is the only hotel directly on Lake Wanaka's shore, its 104 rooms and one- and two-bedroom apartments set across 10 lakefront acres, each with a private balcony or patio and either garden or lake views. Both the on-site restaurant and cafe look straight out over the water, making even a quick breakfast feel like part of the scenery.
A spa, sauna and tennis court cover the property's own grounds, and Wanaka township, with its own lakefront track, is close enough for a short walk or a four-minute drive when the day calls for it, the property carrying a four-star Qualmark Gold rating, a meaningful local distinction in New Zealand.
