[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.
