Lakefront resort on Lake Wanaka with on-site spa, seasonal dining, and family-friendly amenities

Accommodation & Grounds

Edgewater Hotel Wanaka offers apartment-style rooms with full kitchen facilities for self-catering, spread across single-story and two-story blocks on resort grounds. Many rooms open onto rolling green lawns that lead directly to the lake, and room assignment is random - guests cannot guarantee a specific view or building. Top-story rooms are accessible only by narrow stairs, and guests with mobility concerns should request a ground-floor room at booking.

On-Site Dining

Sargoods Restaurant serves contemporary cuisine inspired by local Central Otago ingredients, with menus that change every season to match regional abundance. Wineglass Café provides lakeside seating with views of the water and mountains, offering lighter meals and beverages. Both venues emphasize sustainability and source ingredients from the surrounding region.

Wellness & Recreation

Element Edgewater Day Spa provides massage and beauty treatments on site, while guests can use the hot tub and sauna facilities. Two outdoor tennis courts and a children's playground are available, plus bicycle rental and bike tours around the lakefront. The hotel also offers a tour desk and concierge service to arrange skiing, hiking, fishing, horse riding, and live music performances.

Location & Activities

Edgewater Resort Wanaka sits directly on Lake Wanaka, 2 km from Wanaka town centre - a 20-minute walk along the Wānaka Millennium Walkway that passes the iconic Wanaka Tree. The hotel is a 4-minute drive to town or 1 hour to Queenstown via Crown Range, and close to Mt Aspiring National Park and local wineries and craft breweries. Guests can rent bicycles, go canoeing, or join tour classes about local culture arranged by the concierge.

Weddings & Family Stays

Dedicated wedding venues and exclusive event services are available on site, catering to ceremonies with lake and mountain backdrops. Families have access to a children's playground, board games, family rooms, and kids' meals from the restaurant. The hotel also offers allergy-free rooms and facilities for disabled guests, with accessible parking and a lift to some areas.
