Room was clean and the location was good.

Room was tiny, with no seating area other than on the bed! Not suitable for anybody wishing to work at a desk - or get a bigger room, which we did not know that we would need. Went to the common area opposite the check-in counter and there was no desk area there either. Had to work on a lounge chair hunched over a low table. y the time they found me a vacant table in the dining area 20 minutes later, I was almost done. Room WiFi did not work in that common area (understandably - it was 100m from the room) but needed two other trials before one worked. Front desk staff were passively helpful. Breakfast in the morning was ordinary - good variety, but we had to ask for: cereal bowls; fruit plate top up; bread for toasting and toast plates. Staff inattentive to condition of the offerings - or just run off their feet. That being said, food wastage from the tour group members was HUGE. Plates piled with food and then hardly touched.

The resort is super, great views & ideal bar & restaurant location. V close to lake.

We were clearly in a budget room & didn't like it at all. But guess we didn't check before checking in. V small, downstairs, back entrance unit with zero outlook. Felt little disappointed as still paying North Island prices (ie, even budget price was high). However, only a 1 night stop so made the mistake of the bar views & restaurant.

Looked great from the street.. staff were incredible!! Location was good

The room was poky and small.. smelt stale.. had to change because aircon was dripping outside window.. room was at the back of 2 rooms with a poky window . Very limited and UNluxurious.. not even a bath mat or face cloths.. felt mean and lean.. not what I’ve been used to in Peppers Resorts in Australia

Proximity

We had a standard double or twin room. The smallest room we stayed in on our 6 week trip around the South Island - and the most expensive! There wasnt enough room to place our 2 suitcases in the room. We resorted to removing a bedside cabinet and putting it under the bathroom sink so 1 of the suitcases could be put beside the bed. No bodywash in the shower. Unfortunately only discovered when we were in the shower. Heater didnt work in the bathroom. Spoke to Ryan on the front desk, who advised he would contact the Manager for me to speak to. Despite me sending emails I am still waiting for a response!! Very poor. They only care about your $$'s here and nothing else.

Location and scenery

Large bedroom and bathroom. Clean and comfortable.

Very poor and expensive dining options. No vegetarian menu. Awful breakfast

The room was good and comfortable and we had a good relaxing time

The room was very austere with very few creature comforts, very little on the walls such as artwork, no cushions just funny little stuff that would make the place feel more homely. The phone to call reception didnt work, neither did the washing machine

A bit average

Not a lot of variety

Clean & convenient

Was a small room but it worked for a one night stay

Comfort of bed and view

Only one wine glass. The room was cold on arrival. Very cold bathroom floor.

Love the location! It was opposite the townhall with lots of restaurants. We love the beds too!

Could have provided more laundry detergent and washing detergent.

will come back again for trip to Lake Tekapo , we will choose Peppers Bluewater Resort again , room is so big and clean

We requested an upgrade as our original room did not have a view of the lake..staff were excellent and arranged an upgrade at a small cost.

What's not to like, we loved it!! We had a 1 bedroom apartment, with all the mod cons of home. Walking distance to the lake and shops

Beautiful view. Great location.

For four hundred dollars a night, I did expect more for my money. The room had a very distinct smell of mothballs. We previously stayed at a lovely hotel in Dunedin for $220 a night which was a Deluxe Studio and was more luxurious and offered more amenities than the Deluxe Double room at Peppers. I know we are paying for the view which was beautiful, but not for another $200.

We got an upgrade

The dinner as too simple

Generally very good, location and facilities. Room was very good.

One annoying issue, is that there is on ice or ice tray in the otherwise well equipped kitchen. So I trotted down to the bar to get ice . The barman almost reluctantly offered a glass and advised we would be charged if it was not returned. This is certainly a “first “ in many hundreds of hotels I have stayed in. So I hot footed it back with glass in hand when I met another guest exiting the bar with a glass of ice. We exchanged several comments about this with exactly the same reactions. Note to Peppers management- change this ridiculous policy either by putting an ice tray in the room or offer ice in a small ice bucket - as inexpensive motels do!!!
