Stella and Juergen are good, welcoming hosts and provide an excellent breakfast. The drive into the city is picturesque and not far. As it was a private,home,themrooms are all different and the place has,character,and is right on the water. They both gave us ,it’s of good and useful advice for our time in Wellington.

This place is amazing and that is on all aspects:

- Location overlooking the waters of Karaka Bay.
- The Room - Impressive Design and Quality
- The Hosts - Genuine Friendly
- The Breakfast - At a quality most hotels could learn from

There is only positive things to say - If we get back to Wellington we would for sure stay there again.

With all of the above this is a really good deal for the money - far better than any other we experienced in NZ.

Even the proposed restaurant for Diner on the day of arrival was perfect.

I does not come any better than this !!!

As its name suggests, this lodge is right by the water with incredible views across the harbour. Wellington's CBD is just a short drive away and the film-making hub is close by.
Rooms are huge and the whole house is beautifully designed.
But best of all, Stella is a great host - really knowledgeable and nothing is too much trouble (she even found my wife an emergency dentist!).
Needless to say, breakfast was also superb.

We stayed at the Edgewater Lodge in later November 2018. This home is exceptional and its views are spectacular. Wellington is a bustling city with a lot going on so finding this quiet, convenient location was a true stroke of luck. Jurgen and Stella are wonderful. Stella is professionally trained in hospitality services and her breakfasts are unique and delicious. Jurgen gave us spot-on advice about what to see during out stay and his directions were on point. We absolutely loved our visit to the city in large part due to this B&B.

My husband and I were traveling from the US and were lucky enough to spend his birthday at the Edgewater Lodge. The accommodations were stunning and Stella was even kind enough to have a lovely birthday cake waiting in our room when we arrived. Our only disappointment was that we were in Wellington for just one night because we would have loved to be able to spend more time at the Edgewater Lodge!

Amazing location and views. Perfect location - peaceful with easy access to city centre. Jurgen and Stella were lovely hosts. Great breakfast. Very comfortable and stylish rooms - immaculately clean. Highly recommended for a stay in the Wellington area.
