Edgewater has embarked on the final stage of a three-stage guest room refurbishment programme.   The final third of guest rooms are currently being refurbished with the rooms becoming available for the busy Wanaka ski season, which will commence mid-June.

The refurbishment comprises of:

• Interior repaint of the rooms, including the ceilings (this involves the removal of the old-fashion ceiling stipple)
• New neutral-toned carpet
• New curtains and shadow curtains
• Improved lighting throughout including ceiling lighting on dimmer control
• New sofas (in suites and two bedroom apartments)
• New occasional chair (in hotel/studio room)
• New soft furnishings such as cushions and bed throws plus new wall picture/mirrors
• Note: there is no change to the bathrooms or kitchenette areas.

The guest room refurbishment programme commenced in May 2015 with the first third of rooms being completed by June 2015.  Then in late spring (October 2015) the second stage of room refurbishment was completed.

In mid-October 2015 a new tinted double glazed roof was installed in the multi-purpose Pavilion to aid in making the popular function venue cooler in summer months and warmer in winter months.  The addition doesn’t detract from the indoor/outdoor atmosphere of the venue.  ENDS
