Edgewater Resort

Situated right on the shores of Lake Wanaka, this Green Globe affiliate and Sustainable Wanaka charter member property is a favorite with New Zealanders who like resort-style accommodations. There’s a welcoming atmosphere here and style tends toward that of a high-country fishing lodge. All the one- or two-bedroom suites, which have been extensively upgraded recently, offer balconies or terraces. In short, it’s a friendly, comfortable 25-year-old development that has aged well and oozes Kiwi atmosphere, and its Sargoods Restaurant (p. ###) can’t be beat for international cuisine. If you’re after space and value, go for the one-bedroom suites, which have bigger bathrooms with double tubs.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; free transfers from Wanaka Airport (book when making reservations); babysitting; bike rentals; children’s playground; concierge; nearby golf course and 9-hole putting green on-site; 2 Jacuzzi; limited room service; sauna; 2 all-weather tennis courts; kayaks hire
