There are many good things to say about this property. Sadly the internet and tv are not among them. We had no internet for most of our stay. The few tv channels are at best abysmal. Parking can be tricky if the motel is full. We had a one bedroom unit which we really liked. It had a very nice modern bathroom with a large walk in shower. The kitchen although smallish was well kitted out. Also a comfortable sitting area including chairs outside the unit. Not much of a view of the lake but we were steps away from the lake which had a terrific esplanade that went for miles. It was an easy walk into town for shopping. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Lots of fresh towels if needed. The bed was comfortable and the electric blanket was an added bonus for a comfortable sleep. We liked our stay in spite of the other nuisance stuff which shouldn’t be. This is the age of technology and crappy internet and tv is no longer the norm or acceptable.

Great location, right across from Te Anau Lake. The rooms were spacious and well maintained. Good facilities.

Room 6 ( unrenovated) was very tired and ordinary. Admitally it was clean and functional. However, carpets worn, shower mat frayed, no bedside power points and bedroom light so dull, reading was not possible. Sorry, not worth the asking price.

We stayed one night at the Edgewater Motel on our way to visit Milford Sound in March 2024. At the time we were at the hotel, we saw no one in reception. An envelope taped to the door of the office explained how to find the key. (We had prepaid an internet booking.) However, we got into our rooms and were quite pleased. Our unit appeared to have been very recently update. Although the basic layout is a little odd--the only door is a sliding glass door that opens onto the parking lot/driveway. Very nice decor. Loved the chic bathroom. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchenette was wonderful, although it lacked a stovetop. There was, however, an electric fry pan, which we used to prepare breakfast. The location is great--close to the center of town and right on the lake, as the name suggests.

Staff were excellent and extremely helpful. One bedroom suites were nicely upgraded. Two bedroom suite had great privacy and lovely windows but is in dire need of an upgrade.

Awesome location. There was no staff available on site. The locks on one of the windows was broken. Shower pressure was weak. Bathroom fixtures were old.

No staff on site when we checked in but they had made arrangements for us to get into our room. Luckily we had no issues that required help from staff. The one thing that should be addressed is a plumbing issue that creates a bad smell in the room (the kitchenette sink did not have a p-trap so smells from the pipes were escaping into the room when the drain stopper was removed.

The room was excellent and had all facilities wanted. Rooms well modernised. Exterior not so much but that wasn’t a problem.

The property was fine and basic. Had all the conveniences but has definitely seen better days. Floor was less than clean with a few spiders. Fine for a day or two especially if you’re not hanging out in the hotel but if you want something a bit more updated look elsewhere.

I reminded Hotels.com so many times that Edgewater didn’t fulfil the stay. They cancelled our booking with the reason that the villa wasn’t in a good state. Then we were transferred twice abd ended up in lakeview, which in my opinion was a downgrade I had been asking hotels.com for a cost delta No body, nobody from Hotels.com or Edgewater responded to me

I had low expectations of this motel having stayed at a Queenstown hotel the night before, but couldn’t believe how fantastic this place was! Great layout and facilities and immaculately clean! We didn’t meet any staff but they left us very friendly notes to explain why they weren’t available and to ensure we had everything we needed
