This is also to send compliments to Jemima of Guest Services (Reception). Thank you for going the extra mile to search up your computer & providing suggestions to where to go for dinners, so approachable! - making this a very welcoming stay at Edgewater. Room is great as it’s clean and tidy. Other staff i encountered were all quick to help too.

This is a beautiful property and the rooms are extremely clean and well designed. No idea on smaller rooms, but the suite is very sizable and the views and location are immaculate. The staff is well trained, kind, and personable. Probably the best property I stayed in throughout the north and South Island. Thanks team Edgewater!

We had our wedding in February and Edgewater has been so amazing for this entire experience. Manon was honestly an Angel, spending hours on the phone with me and hundreds of emails back and forth. She was always willing to send a photo, find out a detail or answer one of my millions of questions. We truly never felt like a bother to her. Her and her team were so lovely both leading up to the wedding and on the actual day and everything was exactly as we had envisioned it, thanks to them. It was a perfect day, with a perfect back-drop and delicious food.

Amazing location and what a great hotel this could be if the rooms, food and more importantly the staff were better. Having stayed at several hotels in New Zealand the staff here were unhelpful and inconsiderate, mainly the receptionists ( restaurant were ok). Couldn't be bothered to tell us our room was ready and didn't offer any help taking our luggage to the rooms ( so had to make 2 trips). The rooms were cold, and old looking. Such a shame as the location and potential is wonderful.
