we had a three bedroom apartment. we didn't pay for view but had a bit of a view anyway. the apartments with views are nearest the road. we were at the back of the property. reception staff helpful, although wifi not reliable. not a great experience in the restuarant - everything was undercooked! but the apartment is spacious and fully...

places we stayed at on our South Island tour. The staff at check in were brilliant and so helpful. We were upgraded to a lake view room and it was stunning. Well appointed and comfortable. Peppers Resort is a short stroll into town and the restaurant recommendations were spot on! We only wished we had more than the one night... More

This was our first stop in New Zealand on our honeymoon and I must say the location is breathtaking. Lake Tekapo is a heavenly lake situated between the glaciers with a luminiscent blue colour that comes from the minerals in the lake. The drive from Christchurch to Lake Tekapo is beautiful and refreshing. We stayed at Peppers Bluewater resort which... More

Stayed at this hotel recently, there was a big tour group as well. What a noisy complex this is, right till the early hours of the morning, no consideration at all for the other guests. The complex is not very soundproof, it is preferable to have an upstairs bedroom. My suggestion is that tour groups should have designated hotel rooms,... More

My partner and I stayed at the hotel en route between Nelson and Central Otago in December 2011 - to break the journey. After a long day of driving through beautiful scenery it was a relief to get to the hotel and rest. The hotel is laid out as a series of units which you walk from to get to... More

My husband and I were excited to be staying at this 5 start resort during our two week tour of the south island. Our booking was for a lake view studio apartment and so we made purchases of milk, cerial, bread etc before checking in. On arrival at our room, there were two adults and children standing in the doorway... More

We stayed in this property for one night earlier this month and quite liked the place. The rooms look smashingly new, and the whole property looks quite plush. The property is across the lake and is separated by the main road to/from Christchurch. There were a couple of irritant things though -- our property was part of a 2-room complex,... More

We didn't really use any of the facilities. This was just a nice stop on our way from Mount Cook over to Christchurch/Akaroa. Very nice, comfy, and clean rooms. Reception staff was very nice, even offering us some complimentary hot chocolate during check-in. The location is just a little isolated. I don't think there's much of anything within walking distance... More
