Reunion Brunch - October 2018

I wanted to thank you all for your contribution to the success of the Ruddenklau Long Lunch on the 27th of October.

The Edgewater has a special place in my heart as my husband and I were married on the lawn 20 years ago next year.

All the people involved in our function were a great advertisement for Edgewater and their attitude to customer service definitely showed me that the culture of the Edgewater team is healthy!

Thank you all again and I look forward to our next visit to Edgewater. Mary Ann Morris

Ruddenklau Family Reunion - October 2018

Feedback is all positive. You run a good operation and were very easy to deal with. The room was great and loved the table layout, equipment etc. The food was also great – the scones were the best I have tasted!! I organised everything in Dunedin for the presentation here – and it just seemed so easy at Edgewater – just turning up – doing the presentation and then moving on to Queenstown, so thank you for that.

Westpac - June 2018

You have great conference facilities which has the back up of the bar area downstairs to unwind. The facilities upstairs were perfect for our use, bright and warm too. The staff service was also excellent and couldn’t be faulted. All in all a great experience, I’m a huge fan of the Edgewater Resort Complex and all that you offer. Well done to management and staff. We’ll be back.

Everything went well, the venue was great and the staff did a great job.

I was more than happy with how everything went, the evening went off really well - I guess having Olympic medalists helped!

Central Otago Sports Awards - April 2018

I found the whole event ran very smoothly. The Edgewater staff were great and so obliging.For me the venue is perfect as we didn’t have to leave to have lunch and it was all ready for us downstairs. Parking was easy and the morning and afternoon teas were great. Everyone loved the ‘home baked’ biscuits especially when they were straight out of the oven on the second day!  I was very pleased and I would be happy to come back again next year.

First National Conference - April 2018

I am pleased to say we were really happy with the conference facilities, the Summit Room and the Alcove were great. The staff were amazing and we were really well looked after by your team there. The catering was fantastic and everyone enjoyed the working lunches. We loved our one and half working days at Edgewater and would definitely use your conference facilities again. Many thanks to you and the team.

Pivot Remesys Planning Meeting - April 2018

The facilities were excellent, perfect in fact, for a group of up to about 100. The conference room was quiet and undisturbed, yet situated centrally, and very close to the restaurant. It was spacious enough to allow for catered meals comfortably, and the audio-visual system was modern and well suited to the venue.

The poster session was held in the pavilion, which turned out to be a wonderful space to hold such a mixed social and scientific discussion.

The catering was superbly presented, timely, and absolutely delicious. A nice selection of very high quality catering was provided on site by pleasant and helpful staff.

The accommodation was of a very high standard, and the location of the facility away from central Wanaka provided a relaxed secluded atmosphere ideal for a scientific conference with a busy programme.

The staff were incredibly helpful and a delight to interact with even at their busiest times. The many many calls to adjust and cancel bookings where also helpfully received and professionally acted upon. My heartfelt thanks for this superb effort, in this and many other ways that made the event really special.

An absolutely fantastic venue with warm, helpful, and professional staff who made our conference into an outstanding success!

University of Otago Physics Conference - February 2018

Edgewater, thanks so much for having us, we had a very successful night and the room was just perfect. The food was exactly on time (and delicious) and the beverage service was made so easy. We usually host a number of these sorts of information nights a year so we will definitely be looking at coming back to use the venue again in the future. Gina Barnett.

Batchelor McDougall Consulting - February 2018

Thank you to Ellita and Jo for fabulous assistance in the organization pre-conference. You were hospitable with our late arrival and change in food requirement times, (which was delicious) and the AV setup was perfect,  Henry was efficient and the handover for the 4pm shift to Leon was smooth. Thereafter Leon and his assistant limited conference interruption which was very much appreciated. Highly recommended.

Dominion Construction - February 2018

Thank you for letting Christchurch Airport host our board meeting and cocktail evening at your hotel this past Monday.

We really enjoyed working with you on this and look forward to working with you again in the future.

Christchurch International Airport - Board Meeting & Cocktail Function - May 2017

Big thanks to the team at Edgewater for your help and hard work at Breca Wanaka 2017.  The event exceeded my expectations on all levels. There were amazing performances from all the teams involved, and it was fantastic to see them met with such warmth and generosity at the finish. We’ve had excellent feedback from the athletes and their supporters, and this is in no small part due to the contribution of your team. Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved, and I look forward to working together again in 2018.

Breca Wanaka - March 2017

All of it (feedback) has been really positive. We had a fantastic time at Edgewater and want to thank you and your staff for making it all work so easily, both in the preparation and while we were there. The rooms were excellent  and so were all the meals and the complimentary nibbles but definitely the highlight was the staff. Everyone was so friendly, the front desk staff were amazing and also helped by doing the extra bits and pieces we needed. Thank you again and if you need anything more specific please let us know. We move our conference location every year so it will be a while before we are back in Wanaka but we would definitely come again and would have no hesitation recommending you.    Jenny Dent - Clorox New Zealand

SARNZ Conference - August 2016

Dairy Holdings Limited had the privilege of being able to hold its annual conference at the Edgewater Hotel on 26 June 2015 to 28 June 2015. Our conference involved two days of presentations in the hotel’s conference facilities with up to 185 conference attendees. Throughout the two days, all meals and morning and afternoon teas were provided by the Edgewater Hotel.  It has become increasingly difficult for an organisation the size of Dairy Holdings Limited to be able to hold its annual conference within one venue that can provide the conference facilities to meet our catering and accommodation requirements. The Edgewater Hotel facilities were ideal in this regards and we found the staff and management pleasant, helpful and always willing to please.  We would have no hesitations in going back to the Edgewater Hotel in future.  Colin Glass, Chief Executive.
