I have visited all 50 states and traveled around the world. I have never eaten breakfast in a more beautiful setting than the breakfast room at Edgewater Lodge. We had a limited time in Wellington and Jurgen and Stella were terrific in terms of telling us where to go and what to do. We followed their direction and had a blast. Highly recommend it!
So glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed my breakfasts!! It is a beaut setting dining and looking across
Karaka Bay in the morning sun...did we have sun, I can't quite remember.
Thanks so much for a wonderful review, hope to see you both again soon.
Stella.
After two weeks exploring New Zealand and coming off the grueling (for us) Milford Track 5-day experience, we ended our March 2019 vacation at the Edgewater Inn. Heaven! The property was lovely, rooms sparkling and comfortable, and our hosts were amazing. Stella's Cordon Bleu breakfasts were scrumptious and Jurgen's informative advice on what to do in Wellington was better than the Moon Book. Both were the essence of graciousness and they did everything possible to welcome and take care of us weary travelers. Highly recommended.
#49. Milford track walker. Are you O.K. How is the body feeling now?
Thank you so very much for a wonderful review. We has a blast with you and your family.
Hope to see you next time when you decide to do the track again!!.
Take care. Stella.
We could copy And paste the other reviews. Stella & Juergen host the most fabulous place to stop for as long as possible. Location idyllic. Nothing to do there except walk the most gorgeous path along the shore road. Breathtaking and relaxing while viewing the Picton ferry pass up the channel. City centre not far by car. A couple of cafe restaurants within a few km. where the food was ok but if you want fine dining you may need to go further. Stella’s breakfast was wonderful with great engagement with the other guests. There was a view to savour in an extraordinary vast room while indulging the taste buds and brain! Thanks so much. Probably our top BB experience in 4 weeks travel . Book it if you can.
WOW! Thank you so much for a wonderful review. We thoroughly enjoyed having you both to stay.
So glad you enjoyed the breakfasts and the coconut toasties!!
See you again soon. Take care Stella.
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 !!!
WOW! Thank you very much. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Edgewater Lodge.
Lets hope you are able to make it back to Wellington, she a wonderful city.
Safe travels Stella.
