[2025 Wanaka Stay] Travel Guide for Edgewater Hotel (Updated Jun)

When you come to Wanaka, how can you miss the leisurely breakfast at Edgewater Hotel Café? This cafe is located in a corner of the hotel. When you open the door, you will see a large green lawn extending to the tranquil shore of Lake Wanaka. Sit in the outdoor seats, drink hot coffee and enjoy the picturesque lake view, your mood will be healed instantly. A few minutes walk from the cafe, you can see the famous check-in spot - That Wanaka Tree lonely tree (should it be this one? 🤣) This small tree growing in the lake is one of the most iconic landscapes in Wanaka and is stunningly beautiful at both sunrise and sunset. The breakfast here is also of high quality. I recommend their Benedict eggs or fresh fruit yogurt bowl, which are both rich and comfortable when paired with coffee. 📍Address: Sargood Drive, Wanaka 9305, New Zealand

[Wanaka] Edgewater a comment: One of the two "hotels" staying in the whole journey is also one of the favorite. (1) The location is not in the center, from the wanaka tree to the north, so the surrounding scenery is very good; after the meal, walking around, all are luxury, super luxurious and super beautiful. (2) The rooms in the hotel are very scattered, so I don't feel a lot of people (3) The ecology is very good. The ducks in the lake will fly to the lawn in the early morning. On, wait for the sliding door outside the first floor room, wait for the guests to come out and follow the food, hot and not cute. (4) is very good for photographers, because it takes 3 minutes to walk from the guest room to the lake in the early morning. It is very convenient to shoot sunrise and sunset. (5) It is not too far to get to the center of the town. It takes half an hour to sneak and shoot wanaka tree in the middle.
