Edgewater Club

The Resort & Its Setting

Edgewater Club is an independent timeshare resort on Sargood Drive in Wanaka, right on the edge of Lake Wanaka. Google reviewers rate it 4.4 out of 5 from over 1,500 reviews, describing relaxed, lake-view accommodation with a cosy on-site restaurant and spa. It has an upmarket feel rather than a resort-complex one — think of it as a comfortable hotel-style base rather than a sprawling holiday park. The resort is RCI-affiliated, so ownership here comes with access to that exchange network alongside straightforward use of your own week.

Wanaka & Central Otago

Wanaka is one of the South Island's classic lakeside towns, and it's hard to beat for a mix of scenery and things to do. Lake Wanaka itself is about a kilometre from the resort, with swimming, water sports and lakeside walks on the doorstep, and the town centre — cafes, restaurants, shops and galleries — is a couple of kilometres away. Further afield, Mount Aspiring National Park (roughly 30km) offers some of New Zealand's finest alpine hiking, Cardrona Ski Field (about 35km) draws winter sports fans through the colder months, and the historic gold-rush village of Arrowtown (around 50km) is a popular day trip for its autumn colour and boutique shopping. Queenstown is roughly 90 minutes by road, and Queenstown Airport handles international flights, which makes Wanaka genuinely reachable for both New Zealand and overseas owners.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Edgewater Club and are thinking about selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers, nothing more.

Because Edgewater Club is an independent resort, resale typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a branded head office. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual fee, since these vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here. It's also sensible to confirm exactly what transfers with a resale — your usage week, any banked RCI points or deposits, and whether RCI affiliation carries over automatically or needs re-registering by the new owner.

What Renters and Buyers Look For

Renters researching Edgewater Club are usually drawn by the lake frontage, the on-site restaurant and spa, and Wanaka's reputation as a year-round destination — strong in both the summer lake season and the winter ski season thanks to Cardrona's proximity. Buyers browsing resale listings will want to know the week or season you hold, whether it's fixed or floating, the current annual maintenance fee, and whether RCI exchange rights are included. Being upfront about these details in your listing helps attract serious enquiries.

Practical Notes

Wanaka's weather can change quickly given its altitude, so anyone travelling to use the week should pack layers regardless of season. South Island roads are scenic but mountainous, so build in extra driving time if combining a stay with trips to Queenstown, Cardrona or Arrowtown. RCI members should always check exchange availability and booking windows ahead of time, as these are set by the network rather than the resort itself.
