Edgewater  

On the waterfront in Wanaka, set on a boardwalk/promenade at the edge of Lake Wanaka. A 5-minute walk from That Wanaka Tree and a short drive to Rippon Vineyard, Pembroke Park and the town centre. Ideal for a family-friendly lake escape with quick access to hiking, golf and the slopes.

A four-star lakeside retreat with 104 contemporary guestrooms, many offering private balconies or patios. Rooms come with complimentary wireless internet and flat-screen TVs; bathrooms have showers or shower/tub combos. Accommodation blocks are mostly single-story; some top-floor rooms are only reachable by stairs, and room views can vary across the property.

Soak in hot tubs, unwind in a sauna or book a massage and facial at the spa centre. Rent a bike to cruise the lakefront, store gear in ski storage or hop the ski shuttle (surcharge) in winter. There’s a picnic and BBQ area, a diving club and childcare options, plus a playroom for kids — wake up to lake-breeze mornings from your balcony.

A 24-hour business center, conference centre and meeting room make it easy to host events. 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff, free self-parking onsite and complimentary wireless internet keep business running smoothly.

On-site restaurant serves contemporary, seasonal cuisine inspired by the Central Otago region. There’s also a bar/lounge, a coffee shop/café and limited-hour room service; full breakfast is available daily for a fee.
