Peppers has always been a fovorite of ours since the Apartments are comfortable, self contained and have a lovely view of Lake Wakatipu. On this occasion I made a mistake in the booking and we ended up in a hotel room - nothing wrong with the hotel room but wasn'e 'our usual'. The reception staff went out of their way to work out a solution that resulted in us ending up in an apartment with all the attributes that we cherish. The reception went above and beyond!
The upgrades on the lifts seems to be taking a long time. They were working on it in October 23 when we were there and the process was still ongoing 6 months later

We love Peppers Beacon and are return guests. The view is amazing and the 2 bedroom apartment feels like a home away from home.
The breakfast is limited with no views

The location, this is why we chose this place
We had room 206, which we paid almost $4,000 for 5 nights
1. The first bedroom (just near entry) shower needs to be looked at by a plumber. We were there for five days and I had two showers per day and I did not have a constant hot shower the whole time. It took ages for the hot water to come through then it was quickly change to freezing and then boiling hot then warm then cold again.
2. Bedrooms were too hot and we tried to turn off but it was still really hot, perhaps a fan would have given us more comfort.
3. The breakfast is high come
With the room was the same selection every day, we ended up going down the street for something different
4. The garbage disposal stinks
5. We had a 2 bedroom apartment and you would think it would come with free parking considering we paid a lot for the room.
6. No spa or sauna. A spa or sauna would go nicely on the terra e where you walk through for breakfast.

The view was amazing.
The beds were super comfortable.
Clean and staff were lovely.
I didn’t like the furniture in the living area, couch and chairs were so old, worn and dated and really uncomfortable for a family unit.
Our only gripe.

Nice well-furnished 3-BR apartment with views of the lake and the Remarkables mountain range from our Balcony. Very close to downtown only 3 mins walk. They discounted our daily parking so effectively we just paid one day out of two days due to a miscommunication. Liked that Private Covered Parking was available for us Motorcyclists on tour (with charge)!
Cleanliness could be better. I know we just came out of Pandemic and have staff shortages, but one out of two of our 3-BR apartments looks like it hasn't been cleaned well (there was a musty smell upon entering) and there were thick layers of dust on a lot of surfaces (lamps in bed and bathrooms of the inner rooms), vents, washer, dryers. Maybe we were the first to use that apartment this 2023 season. The resulting dusty condition and dry air of Queenstown triggered a few allergic rhinitis among us, compared to our friends in the other unit.

Great Location, nice sheltered courtyard outside room. Nice and quiet.
No milk in fridge, Breakfast quality and selections were very poor, along with windowless dining room. No egg selections apart from the ubique powder scrambled egg, machine coffee very average, lack of other selections,e.g. fruit, yoghurt etc.
Hotel not very clean, particularly in entry areas to garage. Tired feel in rooms, carpet torn in hallway, posing a trip hazard. Facilities need a major facelift.

The view from the balcony across to the Remarkables was stunning. The apartment was well appointed with everything needed and accommodated four people very comfortably. Staff were helpful throughout.
Breakfast was a bit of a disappointment, Quality of the hot breakfast was very poor with little choice. The continental breakfast options wewre better but still limited in quantity.

we have loved staying at peppers on our trips to Queenstown
great the breakfast facility was open this time
Definitely noticed the staff shortage unfortunately.
had to request room to be cleaned-beds daily and fresh towels.
was 7pm one night this service was done
had to request milk, and dishwasher liquid 10 mins after we arrived as these obviously had not been topped up from the previous room clean.
peppers however is a lovely property, very quiet and so comfortable for a family stay. definitely our first choice always

Spectacular views of Queenstown and the lake. Lovely big balcony.
Room was comfortable but disappointed that it wasn’t the room type pictured online. It was considerably smaller with a different layout. No bath in either bathroom. Second bedroom was a lock off with a second door to an external corridor. Two sets of lifts to the room. In second set only one lift working and one morning neither working.

Spectacular views were a pleasure to wake up to every day.
Needs aircon for warm days.

8.0
The staff were fantastic and seemed a bit embarrassed that they couldn't meet our expectations and supply the room that we had booked online. They did give us complimentary breakfast and parking each day of our stay which was great. We did however have to share a bathroom, have no windows in the bedrooms and no balcony and view which we were expecting.
Unfortunately when we arrived we were informed that Peppers could not supply the room we had ordered and they had to downgrade us. We would have preferred to have been informed before we got to the hotel so that we could decide whether to continue to stay there or not. This was not an option!

Dirty sofa. Water kettle is very dirty. We have been drinking dirty water for 3 days and realized the black pieces stuff in the hot water from.the kettle.
Found the dirty sheeting before I check out in the morning
