Fodor's Expert Review Edgewater Lodge

By the water's edge with stunning harbor views from every room, this place exudes class. Once the home of an Oscar-winning film producer, it has a large, comfortable lounge with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto a terrace. A full gourmet breakfast is included in the rate; hostess Stella, formerly the owner-chef of an award-winning Wellington restaurant, is also happy to put on a silver-service dinner with a comprehensive wine selection.
