Lakeside Apartments is a small, upscale apartment-style hotel with 23 units that range from one to three bedrooms. The property is conveniently located near the lake, and within walking distance of Wanaka town center. All units feature spacious, fully-equipped kitchens, flat-screen TVs, washers/dryers, and bathrooms with heated tile floors. There's also an outdoor lap pool, kids' pool, and a hot tub, plus a barbecue with a couple of grills. But there isn't much else beyond these features, and while Wi-Fi is free throughout, it's limited to one car per unit. Travelers looking for a similar property with more amenities may want to consider Edgewater, which is a short drive from town and has tennis courts, a restaurant, and a spa (but no pool).

On the southern banks of Lake Wanaka, Edgewater is a three-and-a-half pearl getaway that attracts vacationers, wedding parties, and business conferences. The 65 rooms all have balconies (but only some have lake views) and one- and two-bedroom units come with furnished kitchenettes for self-catering. For those who don't want to cook their own meals, there is a restaurant -- Wineglass Cafe -- but it gets mixed reviews from guests. Other amenities include free Wi-Fi, meeting space for rent, a spa with beauty and wellness treatments, a sauna, and a couple of hot tubs, plus two tennis courts -- but no pool or fitness center. Travelers who want to stay somewhere with a pool should consider the slightly posher Lakeside Apartments instead.
