TRADE INFORMATION

Edgewater – Lake Wanaka has embarked on a refurbishment programme of its guest rooms.

The four-star Qualmark property is managing a staged upgrade of all rooms types during lower occupancy months through 2015-2016.

1)     The first batch of rooms (approximately 38 hotel rooms and suites) are being refurbished April – June 2015

2)     The next phase, of a similar number of rooms, will occur October – November 2015

3)     The last phase is planned for April – June 2016

The refurbishment will comprise of:-

• Interior repaint of the rooms, including the ceilings (which involves the removal of the ceiling stipple)
• New carpet throughout
• New curtains and shadow curtains throughout
• Improved lighting throughout including ceiling lighting on dimmer control
• New sofas (in suites and two bedroom apartments) and 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.
  

Edgewater’s spacious layout will allow the hotel to undertake the project in a manner so as to try and avoid guest inconvenience.  We will aim to ensure guests are placed in guest rooms away from those that are under current refurbishment.

There will be periods of time, such as the winter ski season 2015 and the summer of 2015-2016, when the hotel will be operating with a mix of rooms with existing interior designs and those that have been refurbished.

We will provide updates as the refurbishment progresses.
